Actually
this is about using a real pizza oven. Awhile back I
told you about
being given this counter top Hobart oven The problem with
it was where
to put it? If it was up to me, I'd leave it on the counter, but
MoSup
is Miss Tidy so that was not an option. I temporarily stored it
on a
little table against a far wall, and prepared for having to get rid of
it. She has been dropping a lot of "ahems" lately.
Alternative.
I bought a pizza stone.
Even if it worked as well as the Hobart (and it does not), the
requirement of heating the stone for an hour bugs me.
Not only is that a lot of power being consumed by an empty oven, but
the
results were not comparable. Good, yes; but not as good.
The oven on the other hand reaches heat in about five minutes, and will
finish up to 4 pizzas in 12 minutes So here's
the plan .
Let's hope it works.

I have a bunch of
these saved up and am collating now. Will update later today.

ReplyDeleteTurn your garage into a Man Kitchen. Problem solved.
ReplyDeleteConsider hanging it like a wall cabinet - this eliminates floor-space issues.
ReplyDeleteAdd some legs, put the tablecloth on it, get rid of the kitchen table.
ReplyDeleteVoila.
And I'll do world peace tomorrow, after lunch.

If I'm the only one it's rolling over for, never mind, I'll figure it out. Thanks
ReplyDelete"a lot of power being consumed by an empty oven, but the results were not comparable."
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. If only someone could have predicted this. At some point you are going to realize the Hobart is a Retard Magnet and give it to a divorced friend.
I'm still turning out fab pizzas with my shiny Breville. This is a lamb pie. I cut the oven warmup overhead in half by having some bread dough ready to bake when the pizza comes out.
Speaking of stones, all that pales against Pan de Jamón. It makes pizza look girly. I finally got it up on Instructables. Do you have what it takes to turn out one of these bad boys, Rodge?
And she wonders why she's flying "The Leper Colony".

If you happen to have a gas oven, take the bottom wire rack and put it directly on top of the steel thingi that covers the burner. Put the pizza on foil w/ a cornmeal layer or whatever metal pan you want and let it cook there. Works like a charm for me. Browned, crisp crust, quick, easy and effective.

Gosh-all-Friday, Miss Helly, you have potentially made an old man very happy, if I can follow that thru. Thanks very much.

Yanno,
ReplyDeleteThis post is worth it just so I don't have to see BF's simulated butt in the following post first thing every time I come to visit...
On a related note (to the pizza, not the a$$), I make this except I use my bread machine to make the dough (french bread, dough cycle), then cook it in the oven, being sure to completely cover with egg wash. It magically disappears when the 'starving children' in the house discover it...
Mike C,
ReplyDeleteThat looks good for adult appetizers, too. Thanks for the link.
Used my bread machine to make french bread dough last night so we would have rolls for grilled sausage. They turned out great.
