The black pizza oven on sale

[judydawn]

I wasn't quite sure how to go about toasting cheese sandwiches in the pizza oven but this is what I did.

Turned the machine onto 2.
Made a cheese sandwich on frozen bread with butter on the outside.
Didn't wait until the light went off, just put it straight in.  Turned it every now and then - I left it there for 6 minutes but I think 5 to 5.5 mins would have been enough. I could have turned the machine down to 1 after a few minutes but I waited until the first one had cooked then did it for the second one I had assembled whilst the first was cooking. This one took 4 minutes, turning frequently.

You do need to keep an eye on them, mine slightly burnt at the edges but I could have taken them out before that happened if I was more vigilant.

Will try open sandwiches another time.  How do others toast their sandwiches?

Good news GP. Hope you enjoy it as much as we are.

I made tuna cheese and onion mixed with mayo. Put the mixture on two pieces of bread so they were open. I heated up the pizza machine (stone in) on 1.5 then put bread on stone shut the lid and then checked it a few times until it looked ready (very technical).

My pizza oven is awaiting  pick up at my local post office, (was addressed to my PO Box) couldn't carry it home this morning as I had two other parcels to collect as well so DH is picking up after work for me
Today feels like Xmas, two things were replacements though, so all good on the hip pocket haha

@stacelee, do you have yours yet?

Mine isn't here yet ;( but a lot of our deliveries at work have been delayed by the floods so I'm assuming this might have been as well.  I'm looking forward to getting it. We had pizza for dinner tonight and I froze extra bases so I'm ready to go.

So you think the stone would be better than the deep dish for toasted sandwiches medusa?

Made cp cheese on toast this morning. Worked really well.

Put the fresh bread in the stone while it was warming, used no. 2. Added the cheese, closed lid & perfect about 2 mins or so.

It's certainly easier to open and check sandwiches than it is under the griller.  I'll try the stone and an open sandwich next time too.

[Halex]

Yes I used the stone

Thanks Kimmyh, I now have it, been too busy to unpack it but looking forward to trying it out soon
Hope you get yours very soon Stacelee, great idea to stock up on bases....another thing to add to growing TM list

I have a sunbeam sandwich toaster thing.

But I could do open grills on the pizza machine..

I got mine from the post office today, about to use it for the first time. better go and pre-season it now 

[Kimmyh]

Yeh what's the first thing you are going to cook kulsha?

Thanks for the advice I got from you all in regards to my pizza making in the new oven. Had a beautiful pizza on Parmesan pizza crust last night with almost every veg known to man hidden on top. I really enjoy pizza if it gets veg into my two boys!

Mine arrived yesterday and I made chappatis in it tonight ready for lunches torrow.  It worked beautifully, even with me being distracted by the guitar obsessed teenager who did not shut up long enough to take a breath.

I just did quick pizzas using wholemeal Lebanese bread and simple toppings, turned out so crispy and perfect, made 4 in a row, was so fast and easy, I'm in love. So impressed after my first go, next time my routine will get a bit better I'm sure as I was a tad nervous about it tonight. Can't wait to try other non pizza ideas later too! Thanks so much every one, all the hints made this so easy eg: I'm not worried my stone already has stains, I was careful of the sharp edge and I didn't cut off the silicon bits on the handles LOL
