Just far too slow to preheat – Hmmm… first use - it’s been “preheating” for an hour and still hasn’t made it to the required temperature. I really do hope the novelty of home cooked pizzas kicks in soon…
Should have bought one years ago – It takes a little bit of experimentation to get the timing and temperature right, particularly in this household as one us likes a thin base frozen base (Dr. Oetker Ristorante Quattro Formaggi) while the other likes a thick fresh base from a local specialist store.

I was sceptical that an oven with only 2000W element could get to over 700 F (380c) , but it does and… Read more · 1
it's awesome. The accompanying peel is quite robust. I tried a few of the supplied dough recipes but they were a bit wet and hard to handle so I went back to my own recipes. I use it indoor and outdoors and stores easily on my pantry shelf once cooled. I would highly recomend.
