Wow, talk about listening to your comments. I even saw mine posted in the video! Thanks for retesting the pizza oven, or should I say testing the hell out of it, this was really thorough.
The only problem is that I have never made any of the things you guys made XD (surprisingly, except for whole seabass). I would have loved something that I had more personal experience to compare with.. like.. Steak :D. But awesome video anyway.
Cyrribrae, you're not going to get a good crust on steak with this and it wouldn't save much time unless you like well done-in which case you're irrelevant and should go away.
Former/retired chef here, and I'm absolutely stunned by a couple of these experiments and how well they turned out. Some were (obviously) no surprise. The pizza, the mushrooms, definitely the scallops (I was cringing the whole time you were cooking those) all seemed to go exactly as I expected...but the sea bass totally blew me away. I've cooked hundreds, possibly thousands of those over the years, and I simply cannot believe you got the results you got in just 6 or 7 minutes...I mean...I can see them with my own eyes, but my inner chef is in total denial. :) I'm definitely going to have to give this little oven a go at home. Being able to knock together stuffed mushrooms (my better half's favorite thing to snack on) in under ten minutes from fridge to plate is astonishing. Those peaches looked divine, and I wouldn't have to play the 'watch the broiler carefully or you'll catch the oven on fire' game. Roasted fresh veg in just a few minutes (fresh, 'chip cut' carrot, parsnip, or other root veggies would be heavenly...probably only take about 3-4 minutes as well), and...dammit...I still cant get over that sea bass. :) Big thanks to all of you guys for this review/video. When you've worked 'in the trenches' for as long as I had, sometimes you get pretty jaded and it's hard to find inspiration to try new things. This video/this product definitely rekindled my desire to try something new. :)
Check out a pizzasteel. 3 min pizza in your home oven on max and the grill on. On the second highest rack. Only downside u need to preheat for 1 hour and then u can make 5 pizzas b4 reheat for 10 mins. I own 1 and it blew my mind.
@@arklytte np seeing is believing swedish video tho but just watch its 2 mins and it's the steel I use. And u can use the steel on the bbq to. th-cam.com/video/oT3Fdu5oeYw/w-d-xo.html
+Ark Lyte Its an oven, a flat, oven with a dial scale and dodgy temp control, there's no finesse with these things, but if you gotta cook something flat, not to high, and something very hot, and quickly, then they are AWESOME! I love mine (not the same as the Ferrari, but...) a 10-15 minute warm up time then cooking = no hot kitchen, and? Kids loooove them for pizza parties, little kids, big kids, kids at heart... I've even done toasted sandwiches in mine.
As someone whose family is actually from Padrón, first of all I love that you seem to use Padron peppers a lot and like it, it makes me feel proud in a weird but cool way (it's a little town with less than 9000 people living there, so it's not like we are well known overseas). Just a little tip, tho: even when in almost all Spain everybody tend to make them with his tail to grab them better and make them easier to eat, the truth is that they're way better without that and we usually take them off with the tip of a knife. That little tail it's still part of the plant, so it gives a little bit of a nasty flavor (not much, but still) when cooked at the same time, and it keeps the pepper to be well cooked inside, leaving some seeds. Best way to make them, at least traditionally, is to take off the tail, put them in hot oil and reduce the heat when throwed inside the pan to prevent then to burn fast. Anyway, keep the good work, guys :)
Pimientos Padrón are my absolute favourite - a real shame we find them so rarely here in Germany, where I live. I would eat them every other day if I could! ahah
It seems like James hates the idea of a table top gadget that can do things as well as him, but with great ease and speed. He seems to value the skill, time, and effort of things rather than just the end result.
It's because most instant products always come with major drawbacks. In this case, the drawbacks were very minimalist to the point of it being a genuinely useful kitchen utility appliance.
In Italy that little oven is very popular and many people even make some mods to it to make it even more powerful (you can find many on youtube). Btw, do you think it could be used to make tandoori chicken? Seeing that the real cooking method for that dish requires very high temps that you only get from a tandoor oven?
Maybe UK does not need modding because they are not under EU law ? They mentioned theirs goes over 400°C as it comes and EU law prohibits going over 350°C or something for this category of device which is not much better than a normal oven. I modded a Bestron Alfredo with a PC Fan. I think it is more sturdy than the Ferrari G3. They still build these pizzamakers the same way before they were outlawed just the sensor stops the heat at a different temperature.
I feel like that is the best compliment you can get Ben. "I would never think of *insert ingredients*." In this case the sundried tomatoes and pesto on prawns.
James and Ben are a great combination! The level of experience and skill is matched so they don't have to talk down to each other. And both are so loveable 🙌❤
I think this video genuinely added value to the home pizza oven. It was designed "only" to cook pizza but this video showed how much potential utility it has.
My mother actually bought this pizza oven when she opened her café in 2014 to make pizza's fast to order. It's been in our house for the last couple of weeks because I'm addicted to it. Absolutely love this oven!!!
Other TH-camrs: okay let’s put a bunch of crap like gummy bears and ice creams and plastic toys to see what happens to them in a pizza oven. Sorted: Let’s do legitimate food that would actually taste good. This is why I love this channel the most and why it deserves all the love it gets. . . . Having said that, can the normals please test this pizza oven with ridiculous things?
I really like the idea of it being so small; with that little space being heated it'll inherently be significantly more efficient than a full-size oven. For smaller stuff (like everything you demonstrated) it makes a lot more sense.
Honestly, I'm more impressed that you guys figured out the timing so well on these. I mean there were a few where you put them back in, but for how much testing and fiddling you guys were doing throughout.. I'm shocked nothing came out drastically overdone with such short cook times.
As an Italian guy myself I'm stunned by how legit that pizza looked (a true classic, not even the thin crust "modern original" one made in most Italian pizzerias), and it roasted everything else beautifully as well!
CDgonePotatoes so as an Italian guy your not annoyed that two chefs are using a rolling pin to make a pizza in a shap thats far from round, while the pizza cannotto style is very easy to learn. Not even mentioning the blump of dough that should have been a nice dough ball.
@@alrikdewaardt i was very triggered by it tbh and disappointed i didn't see it as first comment - that's not how you make pizza, and the result was pretty meh due to it. Also, that pizza oven is king for whoever doesn't have a wood oven - especially if you are into making proper pizza with friends, considering it takes like 3 minutes per pizza - but i was legit surprised by the other results since afaik, people who get that mostly use it to make pizza.
Drest Drestlin i know right?! I have this pizza oven at home and i make beautiful pizza’s in it. But i do make the pizza in two times. First i make the dough with the tomato sauce, when its puffy but not crunchy i fill it up with the rest. Then when its crunchy and the cheese is melted.
I've had that thing for half a year now and I'm loving it. There have been weeks when I made pizza margherita every other day just because it's so quick and easy.
I am actually happy that you guys showed something that was meant to be a unitasker CAN be used as a multitasking gadget! I would actually consider one now that I know it won't just do pizza! I am a person who hates unitasking kitchen things and well , this shows it's much more than a simple pizza oven now! Great job guys!
Pretty amazing what you can do with this appliance and some know-how. I expect the novelty will wear off, but it provides a remarkably versatile tool for the kitchen-impaired apartment dweller, who may be struggling with a toaster oven...
Tim Lau I agree a toaster oven is a better multi-tasker, and I think cast iron is the best. I just think if Grammie chose this as a gift for her uni-bound grandson, he could probably get some mileage out of it.
Rob Hellfire It’s a novelty because it’s novel. I meant no disrespect. As James and Barry pointed out, it’s quick, but it’s functions can be replicated in conventional equipment, given time and skill.
Ready to love your toaster oven? There's a lot of words, but it'll be worth it. 2 - 2 1/2 cup flour 1/2 tsp sugar 1 tsp salt (oregano and parm to taste, about 1/2 T works) ~3/4 cup warm water 1/2 T bread yeast 1/2 - 1 T olive oil for coating Put the yeast in the water for a couple minutes before mixing it into the dry. Shouldn't have to knead too much, put the oil in a bowl at least twice the size of your dough ball and spin/toss the ball around in the bowl to coat it, put plastic wrap over top and let rise for at least a half hour, 2 hours is a good time. Should fit in a toaster oven, just need some pizza sauce and toppings. As high she'll go and check on it after 15 minutes.
Impressed! But two important questions! 1) Does it heat up faster than an oven? Are you able to cut down on prep time as well as cook time? 2) Does it give off less heat than an oven? There are many summer days where I'd like to cook something in the oven, but it's just too hot to turn it on. Loved the video, James and Ben interacting on camera is always great
I can absolutely see this thing being targeted to college kids who live in on-campus dorms with not enough room for a full blown oven. I'm so glad that you guys managed to do legitimate food experiments like these. Now I can spice up my on-campus experience with some actual cooked food! Was kinda expecting for a burger test though, dissapointed that you guys didn't do it but hey, great video nonetheless.
On today's episode, there is a new gadget in town. Will the sexy new pizza oven get between James's and Ben's bromance? Ben: I am really impressed with the results. James: I feel like a third wheel here.
my mom bought this some time ago, and we sometimes have some family over and have everyone prepares their own pizzas. it works really quickly and the result is very good too. can recommend
I like that you guys used simple recipes to test the oven, would love to see you guys do more for an episode in the kitchen. An excited Ben is adorable xD
Yea, I was hoping to see a steak. Both just sear and fully cook. Obviously, you're not going to be putting a 2 in steak in there, but conceptually, I'm curious what a broiler/griddle/oven/steamer(?) combo would do for a steak.
Fantastic. That pizza oven would be phenomenal in the summer when you don't want to heat up the whole house with the oven. Since homes usually only have a single over, it would also be great for nibbles when the oven is cooking a larger dish needing a longer and lower cook. Seeing all the other things you cooked in the pizza oven, now I really want one and see a lot more value in it.
As someone who has worked as a chef in Sweden. The second you cooked that damn fish I was impressed. I need one at home. Good for home parties and putting out small finger foods quickly.
considering how hard is for a normal person with no special cooking skills to make food in the oven, this gadget is VERY helpful.my favorite dish , sea food with grilled aubergine bell peppers and zuchinni on rice, could be done easy on this i think.great stuff,thanx for introducing this !
How I feel about every kitchen item. You only need about a dozen kitchen utensils, cutting board, pots, pans, bowls, and knives to make anything your heart desires, but when I see new stuff I want it.
This video made me chuckle. Why? Because other reviews i've read about this oven says to avoid getting anything other than pizza base on the stone as it discolours it and makes it smoke. Then there you are slapping everything you can think of onto the stone! It's a pity Pizza Hut don't use these. I sometimes wonder if they boil their pizzas...
This is.. extremely funny to see. I'm italian- i often meet up with friends for homemade pizzas, and we just round up the two-three of those ovens we have between us, to bake for us! To see someone ne so on the fence on them, is really funny. We love it, and it works amazingly!
Oh wow. This legitimately shows promise. It'd make a good gift for someone that knows how to cooks but is in a crappy living situation where no oven is available (tiny NYC closet apartment, dorm room, etc).
Speed, ease of use, ease to clean, portable. I think this might actually be a worth while purchase for most people. I'd assume it can cook anything an oven can and probably more because of how easy it is to use, could almost turn it into a toaster oven/microwave because of how quick it cooks.
Love it, been seeing these around but never thought that they were THIS good. Gotta say I'm super impressed, especially since our oven broke last year and I can't afford to buy a new one anytime soon. I also liked all the variety of tests you guys did, especially the fish was pretty crazy hehe but damn it turned out amazing. I'd love to see how this does with stuff like souffle, cookies, cakes, creme brulee, etc.
Great video, guys! Thank you for bringing back this entry from “Useless or Not: You Decide!” Can you clean the pizza stone part of the machine? It got charred during the first round of testing (cough...cough...BEN!) and I was wondering if that impacted subsequent cooking tests?
Oh wow, so this oven is actually REALLY useful, that's awesome. I'm glad it can do so much! I used to watch a lot of alton brown's good eats and I developed a similar idea to him... I hate unitaskers!
Normally I hate them too, but this thing does something nothing else in my kitchen can do--deliver amazingly crispy and delicious pizza (especially GF pizza, which blew my mind). It was cool seeing some of the other stuff it can do. Now I want to pick up a small cast iron... >.>
That's kinda like going into a pizzeria and complaining they have an oven designed specifically to cook pizzas haha. Its weird to just generally be opposed to "unitaskers" on principal. Toasters are a unitasker and one of the most popular kitchen appliances. This, like a toaster, isnt an obscure unitasker either. Pizza is the most popular food in the US so I imagine myself and many other Americans would gladly have something that only makes pizza. (This does much more but even if it only cooked pizza that would be ok)
@@brokenwave6125 I don't like toasters, because they're a single-purpose implement with a multi-purpose alternative that's quite common in America: the toaster oven. It does everything a toaster can do, but does a lot more as well.
I have a baking steel for my home oven after its warmed up it takes about 5-6 min(not 10-15min) to cook a homemade pizza and breads like sourdough, the crust is crispy and gets a little bit of Lepparding. That being said the sourdough cooks at a lower temp so of course takes longer to bake.
Love how well you guys tested it this time. I wonder if this could work as a full out oven alternative for a tiny space. I'd love to see you try things like a bread, a cake, cookies, chicken, maybe even a soufflé
What a great vid. I was given one for christmas and I must admit I was unsure because how often will I cook Pizza? You have shown me that I can use it for most things I would do in the oven. I'm thrilled. Sending a link to my grandaughter who received one too. Thank's so much.
Wow I have never been this early to your Videos... Notification squad.... 2:39 James surely it can't be that hard to eat Pizza..LOL. Much love from Kenya.
I’d buy this for a tiny house or a caravan type situation. Looks pretty versatile, able to do a variety of baking type situations, but without needing the full bulk of a true oven.
I'll tellya guys, this thing has potential indeed. The speed/searing is far superior to oven cooking. Whether I'd go through the hassle of dragging it out of (limited) storage in my kitchen, cleaning it afterwards, etc. etc. which is ALWAYS the issue with stand-alone appliances like this, well...I dunno. But it sure looks better than I anticipated. I wonder about BAKING things in it--tarts, scones, whatever, for a crispy outside with moist inside due to the speed/heat? That'd be my next test if I were you. Breads, muffins, roles, etc. etc.
Hi guys. This video persuaded me to really stretch my budget and buy despite being barely able to afford it. I have dithered and dithered but what persuaded me was just how many other things I can cook on it (not scallops - anyhow, I'm vegan🤭). Spending my measley spondoolies on such things requires a lot of consideration so your video proved this is the gadget for me. I only have a small electric Caterlite oven but pre-heating it wastes electricity and we're all trying to help the environment. Plus I am a pensioner, living alone so I often can't justify pre-heating the oven to get it hot enough to cook or brown a dish; it seems so wasteful. So, THANK YOU. One question; what size is your square cast iron skillet, please? Have fun. Keep helping us to know if a gadget is worth having or is it just another thing to throw to the back of the cupboard/drawer Be safe🙏 Christine in Kingston upon Thames 👍
OMFlippinG! This gadget is marvellous! Best pizza ever - and try sweetcorn on it - and scorched cherry tomatoes and..... so many ideas to try (not scallops ;) )
2:42 - "not possible to get the same results in a home oven in the same time" - that's debatable, and only really true if you're including the pre-heat time and not just the cook time. Using a pizza stone and heating with the broiler (in an oven that won't go hotter than 550F), it's fairly easy to get sub-2 minute cooking times with pizza. - and even easier if using a metal baking surface (cast iron or stainless) instead of stone.
Lisa Boban it heats up quicker... Yes does give off a fair bit of heat though. Does really (and shouldn't) clean the stone. Just heat so anything stuck dries up and brush off!
Did you use an infrared thermometer to see what temperature the stone was actually at when cooking the pizza? My oven goes to around 550 (F). I put my stone in there for about 30 minutes to pre-heat and I can cook a homemade pizza in just a few minutes and still get the nice crispiness.
That was very impressive, especially the sea bass (it has a deep voice..!!). That little countertop oven is quite versatile and would be a great gift for someone in a studio apartment or university dormitory. I bet it would crush a proper grilled cheese sammich which is the best food during late-night cram-study sessions (better than pizza and much less expensive). I had a block of cheddar and a couple salamis in my dorm room which was my late-night grub when the criminally high-starch low-flavor cafeteria food gave out. That's what got me into food and making proper dishes.
Wow, talk about listening to your comments. I even saw mine posted in the video! Thanks for retesting the pizza oven, or should I say testing the hell out of it, this was really thorough.

Cyrribrae, you're not going to get a good crust on steak with this and it wouldn't save much time unless you like well done-in which case you're irrelevant and should go away.
I'd be curious how it does on searing protein after it being cooked sous vide method
I would have liked to have seen a blind taste test comparing this with a regular oven, but that may be a bit too far. :D

(oregano and parm to taste, about 1/2 T works)
~3/4 cup warm water
1/2 T bread yeast
1/2 - 1 T olive oil for coating
Put the yeast in the water for a couple minutes before mixing it into the dry. Shouldn't have to knead too much, put the oil in a bowl at least twice the size of your dough ball and spin/toss the ball around in the bowl to coat it, put plastic wrap over top and let rise for at least a half hour, 2 hours is a good time.
Should fit in a toaster oven, just need some pizza sauce and toppings. As high she'll go and check on it after 15 minutes.
Impressed! But two important questions! 1) Does it heat up faster than an oven? Are you able to cut down on prep time as well as cook time? 2) Does it give off less heat than an oven? There are many summer days where I'd like to cook something in the oven, but it's just too hot to turn it on. Loved the video, James and Ben interacting on camera is always great
"I'm in full panic mode" - James, as calm as ever
Well, he _is_ a chef.
I can absolutely see this thing being targeted to college kids who live in on-campus dorms with not enough room for a full blown oven. I'm so glad that you guys managed to do legitimate food experiments like these. Now I can spice up my on-campus experience with some actual cooked food!
Was kinda expecting for a burger test though, dissapointed that you guys didn't do it but hey, great video nonetheless.
On today's episode, there is a new gadget in town. Will the sexy new pizza oven get between James's and Ben's bromance?
Ben: I am really impressed with the results.
James: I feel like a third wheel here.
Kirsten Paff might actually be my favourite moment of this video😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Or is the pizza the true third wheel?
*pizza maker
my mom bought this some time ago, and we sometimes have some family over and have everyone prepares their own pizzas. it works really quickly and the result is very good too. can recommend
What is the recovery time? How long after taking a pizza out does it take for it to get hot enough to put another one in?
I like that you guys used simple recipes to test the oven, would love to see you guys do more for an episode in the kitchen.
An excited Ben is adorable xD
I was part of some forum and at some point a ton of people bought a similar pizza oven. The vast majority was very happy with it.
Grilled cheese sandwich? Searing the exterior of a sous vide steak?
Brother?!
popping popcorn? brie?
Yea, I was hoping to see a steak. Both just sear and fully cook. Obviously, you're not going to be putting a 2 in steak in there, but conceptually, I'm curious what a broiler/griddle/oven/steamer(?) combo would do for a steak.
Ben: "Do you have a uniform?"
James: *tries to keep his sexual excitement in*
omg you are so right
didnt notice that before
thanks
When did he say that?
@@G4M3GL4R3 11:33 in the blooper
Ahhh...so James has been exposed to the magic that is Queer Eye! I was wondering why he was oozing so much fabulous sass in this video 🕺🕺
We. Are. OBSESSED!
Is he gay/bi?
Ryan Wibbens I’m crying 😭😂 as far as we know he isn’t
Ryan Wibbens does it even matter?
JojoKitty 1601 he is just asking
I love how James was acting slightly different cause of Queer Eye; I also love that he watches Queer Eye
Why? I've watched that show for years it's a good show but it's nothing to be praised about having seen it?
James’s level of confidence could feed an entire nation if it were edible
Fantastic. That pizza oven would be phenomenal in the summer when you don't want to heat up the whole house with the oven. Since homes usually only have a single over, it would also be great for nibbles when the oven is cooking a larger dish needing a longer and lower cook. Seeing all the other things you cooked in the pizza oven, now I really want one and see a lot more value in it.
James worrying about the fish's tail is so cute 🤣
Love watching people who know their craft enjoying what they do!
I really like this format. Testing the hell out of gear, finding out what works and doesn't, feels super match to the DNA of why I subbed.
As someone who has worked as a chef in Sweden. The second you cooked that damn fish I was impressed. I need one at home. Good for home parties and putting out small finger foods quickly.
I know James is a tall boy, but his wingspan is downright massive.
stormbob the absolute size of this lad
It's to hug more people and spread more love!
Absolute unit
the absolute boss
CaCAW
considering how hard is for a normal person with no special cooking skills to make food in the oven, this gadget is VERY helpful.my favorite dish , sea food with grilled aubergine bell peppers and zuchinni on rice, could be done easy on this i think.great stuff,thanx for introducing this !
Do I have room for it? NO!
Do I need it? NO!
Do I want it? Hell YES!!!!!
This is EXACTLY our thought process!
I'd consider buying one if I had a bigger kitchen and a place to store it.
How I feel about every kitchen item. You only need about a dozen kitchen utensils, cutting board, pots, pans, bowls, and knives to make anything your heart desires, but when I see new stuff I want it.
Same here, but don't think they are available now.
Lol The spider man 2 pizza theme plays in the background
THANK YOU! I noticed that as well!
SORTEDfood's 29 minute guarantee is a promise!
do you mean where they played Funiculi Funicula
. Thats the anthem of Naples.
*pizza time*
I would pay good money to see a collaboration between James and Antoni from queer eye
James would lose his mind!
This video made me chuckle.
Why? Because other reviews i've read about this oven says to avoid getting anything other than pizza base on the stone as it discolours it and makes it smoke.
Then there you are slapping everything you can think of onto the stone!
It's a pity Pizza Hut don't use these. I sometimes wonder if they boil their pizzas...
I have a feeling you lads just wanted to eat pizza today ;)
Haley.F. the truth has been spoken
Then why did they eat peppers, peaches, aubergine, mushrooms, scallops, shrimp and sea bass?
"I'm gonna suggest this is going to be really hot, be careful."
Ben being nice is so touching to me I dunno why
"Did it work? Who cares? Its a frozen pizza " I love Ben XD
Brutal, right?
SORTEDfood so savage XD
11:35. "Do you have a uniform?" I think, Ben is into something else. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can we do these type of videos more ??? It is just amazing !!!
I didn’t think I could love you guys any more, but you’ve been killing it with the videos this year. Keep it up! ❤️
Thank you for the thorough review! Time to write down these recipes and put them in a new book! :D
This is.. extremely funny to see. I'm italian- i often meet up with friends for homemade pizzas, and we just round up the two-three of those ovens we have between us, to bake for us! To see someone ne so on the fence on them, is really funny. We love it, and it works amazingly!
I have been waiting for this DESPERATELY!! This made my entire week and I haven't even watched the full video yet!
Oh wow. This legitimately shows promise. It'd make a good gift for someone that knows how to cooks but is in a crappy living situation where no oven is available (tiny NYC closet apartment, dorm room, etc).
Honestly the editing is sooo on point. I love this editing style, whoever edits these videos, keem 'em.
Speed, ease of use, ease to clean, portable. I think this might actually be a worth while purchase for most people. I'd assume it can cook anything an oven can and probably more because of how easy it is to use, could almost turn it into a toaster oven/microwave because of how quick it cooks.
Ice cream battle. For sure.
Love it, been seeing these around but never thought that they were THIS good. Gotta say I'm super impressed, especially since our oven broke last year and I can't afford to buy a new one anytime soon. I also liked all the variety of tests you guys did, especially the fish was pretty crazy hehe but damn it turned out amazing. I'd love to see how this does with stuff like souffle, cookies, cakes, creme brulee, etc.
Liked for James’ watching Queer Eye. 😂
Same here, almost the moment he said it.
“Because I watched my first ever episode of Queer Eye last night... and I LOVED IT”. James is ALL OF US
Great video, guys! Thank you for bringing back this entry from “Useless or Not: You Decide!”
Can you clean the pizza stone part of the machine? It got charred during the first round of testing (cough...cough...BEN!) and I was wondering if that impacted subsequent cooking tests?
Yep you can clean it! The pizza oven just gets scraped down. All the stuff that falls onto the stone shouldn't stick and is easy enough to scrape off!
PLEASE DO A NUMBER 2! This was so fantastic to watch!!! I love how basic these dishes were and you guys just chefified them! Love you boys!!
I think them doing a Number Two is an entirely different video that might get them de-monetised! Lol
Oh wow, so this oven is actually REALLY useful, that's awesome. I'm glad it can do so much! I used to watch a lot of alton brown's good eats and I developed a similar idea to him... I hate unitaskers!
Normally I hate them too, but this thing does something nothing else in my kitchen can do--deliver amazingly crispy and delicious pizza (especially GF pizza, which blew my mind). It was cool seeing some of the other stuff it can do. Now I want to pick up a small cast iron... >.>
That's kinda like going into a pizzeria and complaining they have an oven designed specifically to cook pizzas haha.
Its weird to just generally be opposed to "unitaskers" on principal.
Toasters are a unitasker and one of the most popular kitchen appliances.
This, like a toaster, isnt an obscure unitasker either. Pizza is the most popular food in the US so I imagine myself and many other Americans would gladly have something that only makes pizza.
(This does much more but even if it only cooked pizza that would be ok)
Three words
George Forman Grill
A absolutely amazing device
@@brokenwave6125 I don't like toasters, because they're a single-purpose implement with a multi-purpose alternative that's quite common in America: the toaster oven. It does everything a toaster can do, but does a lot more as well.
Nikolai Hedler and some models have a 450F+ pizza cooking mode which does as well as this pizza cooker
I have a baking steel for my home oven after its warmed up it takes about 5-6 min(not 10-15min) to cook a homemade pizza and breads like sourdough, the crust is crispy and gets a little bit of Lepparding. That being said the sourdough cooks at a lower temp so of course takes longer to bake.
I love Ebbers but honestly, James made this video for me.
Interesting to see the oven doing other things and not just pizza though.
Love how well you guys tested it this time. I wonder if this could work as a full out oven alternative for a tiny space. I'd love to see you try things like a bread, a cake, cookies, chicken, maybe even a soufflé
Yay!! I was waiting for this review (and the Dad Joke of this week, of course) 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
What a great vid. I was given one for christmas and I must admit I was unsure because how often will I cook Pizza? You have shown me that I can use it for most things I would do in the oven. I'm thrilled. Sending a link to my grandaughter who received one too. Thank's so much.
Wow I have never been this early to your Videos... Notification squad.... 2:39 James surely it can't be that hard to eat Pizza..LOL. Much love from Kenya.
The pizza oven actually works very well. It's great for small spaces. I wonder if you could bake in it.
ooOOOOOooo, aubergine roasted in minutes! THAT is interesting. So much can be made with roasted aubergines!!
I’d buy this for a tiny house or a caravan type situation. Looks pretty versatile, able to do a variety of baking type situations, but without needing the full bulk of a true oven.
I'll tellya guys, this thing has potential indeed. The speed/searing is far superior to oven cooking. Whether I'd go through the hassle of dragging it out of (limited) storage in my kitchen, cleaning it afterwards, etc. etc. which is ALWAYS the issue with stand-alone appliances like this, well...I dunno. But it sure looks better than I anticipated. I wonder about BAKING things in it--tarts, scones, whatever, for a crispy outside with moist inside due to the speed/heat? That'd be my next test if I were you. Breads, muffins, roles, etc. etc.
Im with you!!! That will be cool.
Hi guys. This video persuaded me to really stretch my budget and buy despite being barely able to afford it. I have dithered and dithered but what persuaded me was just how many other things I can cook on it (not scallops - anyhow, I'm vegan🤭). Spending my measley spondoolies on such things requires a lot of consideration so your video proved this is the gadget for me.
I only have a small electric Caterlite oven but pre-heating it wastes electricity and we're all trying to help the environment. Plus I am a pensioner, living alone so I often can't justify pre-heating the oven to get it hot enough to cook or brown a dish; it seems so wasteful. So, THANK YOU. One question; what size is your square cast iron skillet, please?
Have fun. Keep helping us to know if a gadget is worth having or is it just another thing to throw to the back of the cupboard/drawer
Be safe🙏
Christine in Kingston upon Thames 👍
OMFlippinG! This gadget is marvellous! Best pizza ever - and try sweetcorn on it - and scorched cherry tomatoes and..... so many ideas to try (not scallops ;) )
I’ve been waiting for this.. only because James promised us 😍😍😍
0:53 ROLL IT OUT!?!
That's where you lost me!!!
NEVER ROLL OUT PIZZA DOUGH!!!
It's READDYYYYYYY
When you want nothing more than to go to a James Dinner Party.
2:42 - "not possible to get the same results in a home oven in the same time" - that's debatable, and only really true if you're including the pre-heat time and not just the cook time. Using a pizza stone and heating with the broiler (in an oven that won't go hotter than 550F), it's fairly easy to get sub-2 minute cooking times with pizza. - and even easier if using a metal baking surface (cast iron or stainless) instead of stone.
iT'S REAAADYY
Bet that oven would be awesome at a party.
This was not an ad. But this is the first youtube ad that's ever worked on me. Amazing!
I have been WAITING for this!!!!
I snorted from laughing at that lil bit of fish tail sticking out 😂 I think I need some sleep
How do you clean it? Is that stone removable? Also, does it heat up the kitchen as much as your oven does?
Lisa Boban it heats up quicker... Yes does give off a fair bit of heat though. Does really (and shouldn't) clean the stone. Just heat so anything stuck dries up and brush off!
I’m binge watching ur videos... and i am loving you guys! Do more!
YASSSSS, QUEEEENNNN!!!!
Shane Dawson's fan?
Mimi Ablan What are you talking about?
There's about a 100% chance that Barry loved this comment
Yaaasss Henniiee hahaha
Did you use an infrared thermometer to see what temperature the stone was actually at when cooking the pizza? My oven goes to around 550 (F). I put my stone in there for about 30 minutes to pre-heat and I can cook a homemade pizza in just a few minutes and still get the nice crispiness.
I'd love to see a steak in this just because it's crust would be divine and still rare
Ooooh very good shout!
Excellent poduct test video. Best options well covered. Manufacturer should thank you and reward you for this thorough testing. 😊
I'm so hungry now after watching this 🤤🤤
me too!!!! 🤤
That was very impressive, especially the sea bass (it has a deep voice..!!). That little countertop oven is quite versatile and would be a great gift for someone in a studio apartment or university dormitory. I bet it would crush a proper grilled cheese sammich which is the best food during late-night cram-study sessions (better than pizza and much less expensive). I had a block of cheddar and a couple salamis in my dorm room which was my late-night grub when the criminally high-starch low-flavor cafeteria food gave out. That's what got me into food and making proper dishes.
