After reaching the temperature, I found that the oven was very well maintained and quickly recovered between cooking. Although the PI Prime instructions have suggested that the dial be turned to orange signals after preheating, I found it a little submerged, which kept the oven closer to 800 ° F.

Quickly made excellent pizza

I was nervous about starting my pizza and cooking properly, especially for my first experiments used with an outdoor oven. Fortunately my friend and colleague Andrew Janjigian – one breadman–Rot one excellent guide make pizza in an outdoor oven and developed a pizza dough recipe specifically for this use. After studying tips and tricks and leaving my dough in the fridge for a few days, I invited some (non -judgmental) neighbors and made the first attempt.

I was absolutely fascinated by how easy it was to make beautiful pizza in Pi Prime, even without prior experience. After I sprinkle my pizza shell With a combination of rice flour and universal flour, I made sure I quickly fill my pizza to prevent the attachment, whispered a little prayer, and started my first pie into the bladder furnace. The 13 -inch panoramic opening of the oven was easily inserted into the 12 -inch peeling and the 3.5 -inch height offered a lot of space for pizza. The bark immediately puffed and bubbled and there was plenty of space in the Pi stainless pizza to turn the pizza regularly while cooked. Just two minutes and ten seconds later, I pulled out a beautiful, bubble pizza with a beautifully puffed bark full of signed black spots (“Leopard spots”), the classic Naples pizza.

Frankly, I was shocked to be at best half brewed, amoeba-shaped spots, and the dough and cheese piles were scraped out of the oven at worst, and instead grabbed the cake after the pie in the oven. The bark from the outside is crispy and ventilated, chewing and completely cooked, the cheeses are bubbling and browned, and the dressings were blistered and charred, but not burned. On the first pizza evening and for others who followed this, my dinner guests could not believe that they were a relative beginner pizza.

Well -designed and easy to maintain

Pi Prime is simple but very effective. It was so well insulated that the table below was only hot, even if it was hot inside the oven. This excellent heat retention meant that my next pizza could only start my next pizza after the previous release. It also cooled relatively quickly after I turned off and, after 30-60 minutes, I could throw the attached cover without fear. And about the cover: as soon as I set up the oven for testing, it was absolutely glued together for the whole days. I was worried about ruining the oven before I had a chance to cook with it because it was sitting in the elements, but the cover did a champion and kept everything dry.

As far as cleaning was concerned, I liked that the pizza stone was made up of two sides, so they were easily snapped to clean them and the oven after use. I simply polished the crumbs and the remaining flour from the stones and quickly slipped them with a damp towel (never immerse the porous stones in the water) and did the same at the interior, making sure everything dried well before using the oven again. It was quick and easy to do and the outer part of the stainless steel is easy to clean Although he is a friend of holders If I get dirty or soot.

The disadvantages

It took more than 40 minutes during my testing until this oven reaches the temperature above 800 ° F, so it should build its schedule in a while to fit before cooking. The small size of the oven also means that you can only make smaller 10 or 12 -inch pizza, not large pies to serve the weight.
