The size is a tad small compared to a regular oven but since it can do two at a time, it would be fine for smaller pizza. Great if you have some friends over for DIY pizza. We have more appliances than counter space so I'll pass on it. -- Ed http://pages.cthome.net/edhome/ |

However, several in rfc have raised other issues that I think I better consider: thermal mass, heat loss, recovery, hot exterior, etc. -- Wayne Boatwright Date: December(XII) 12th(XII),2007(MMVII) ******************************************* Countdown 'til Christmas 1wks 3dys 18hrs 40mins 22secs ******************************************* Research causes cancer in rats. ******************************************* |

Are they exposed? The comments about heat loss when you open, and thermal mass are very important. I can't believe this can't be much more than a glorified two tier toaster oven. As well, a stone only 12" in diameter is going to result in a very small pizza. It sure would be assuring to hear some real reviews about this item. Kent |

In article , says... What do you pizza folks think of this? http://tinyurl.com/ypovvt The 800 degree max temp is nice, but does it really reach that temp? Upper elements and the low height of the chambers make me wonder if the top of your pizza would be broiled instead of baked. That's a good question. After all the questions raised about this unit, I doubt I'll be buying it. -- Wayne Boatwright Date: Dec 13,2007 ******************************************* Countdown 'til Christmas 1wks 2dys 5hrs 45mins 41secs ******************************************* Did you really expect mere proof to sway my opinion?

A regular oven has little thermal mass anyway. You need bricks or heavy steel, 1/4" or more to provide real mass. Recovery will depend on the elements. Give the size, I doubt it would be much less than a regular electric oven. I'd like to see it up close for that kind of money though, or actual experience from a user, not speculation. -- Ed http://pages.cthome.net/edhome/ |
