Firstly I’m a professional chef who is always looking for kitchen products to do a better faster job. I bought this oven for my wife who is always complaining that her personal size pizzas never cook on the bottom properly. So, this was our second Friday with this amazing little pizza oven. From the first try I was sold. It heats up relatively quickly for the temperatures it reaches and does it cook pizza fast, you definitely have to keep your eye on the window or else you’re getting a burnt pizza. Corn meal is a must on a metal peel and I sprayed it first with cooking oil to help stick the corn meal before applying the dough, worked perfect, slid right off onto the cast iron plate without any problems.
