Electric pizza machine

[Katiej]

I think I need one too!
We cook our pizzas on a stone in the BBQ. They come out great but I can see this would be far more convenient.

I just use pizza stones in my oven and had the thumbs up from a longterm  Italian visitor last year. Maybe pizza machines are useful but where do you store all these machines?

[achookwoman]

Ella, I have a wall of cupboards in the laundry for all these gadgets.  And a bench in the laundry for the bread machine, crock pot, Ice cream machine and ice maker.  Yes I know I am lucky.  Cooking is my Hobby.

I have the black pizza maker too, and love it to bits!  if anything burns onto stone, I remove it outside, and use a flat edge metal plaster scraper to get off any burnt bits.
we had pita pizzas last night



it takes my oven 20-30 minutes to heat up before I start cooking.   
The pizza maker takes 3 minutes to heat up, 3 minutes to cook a pita pizza, and 7-8 minutes to cook a fresh dough pizza.

Maddy is there any difference between the black and red pizza maker? Apart from the extra tray thingy? They would still cook the same I would imagine

[SueJen]

Oh. have to get one. That pizza really looks great

[judydawn]

I hate making pizzas and the more I read about these pizza machines the more I agree with you SueJen - maybe I need one too.

[SueJen]

Really love homemade pizza JD but usually burn the base, my oven is the problem. So with a proper machine would have no worries

[Yvette]

I think I am buying one on the weekend, just want to know what the difference is between the red and the black 

[judydawn]

Can we buy these in stores or is on-line better/cheaper?

[Yvette]

Both Judy check the prices I rang Victorias Basement yesterday and they have the red one for $89 and black for $129 provided they told me the right thing. My mum is arriving this afternoon so we are going on the weekend will let you know

sueJen, the red one has a fixed pizza stone, and the black one has a removable stone, with a deep dish insert.
you can then cook/toast taller things in it, as well as omlettes, fritatas etc.





it comes with wooden paddles, but I purchased the metal ones from their site

And also can purchase a replaceable stone if needed

keep in mind you can't pile your pizzas sky high, as there is an exposed heating element under the lid.
I use it for toasting/grilling lots of things instead of my oven.  
For quick pizzas I use thick pita breads....couldn't be easier  

[SueJen]

Thats it no more excuses, I'm buying the black one. Thanks Maddy

[judydawn]

Guess I should go and have a look at them before deciding too Yvette.

[SueJen]

Can get the black one in Albany, will pick it up when I'm down there on Tuesday
