The black pizza oven on sale

[Slice of Health]

Ooh thanks for the tips, will be careful to avoid getting anything on the element.

You girls are scaring me!!!    

treat the oven as you would a fry pan on the cook top.
Don't have a closed lid to heat any fats/oils, or on high heat to warm (It can catch alight just like a frypan)  and use sprays with the insert taken out the machine.

Also a good idea to wipe over element when cold, and any debris that may have fallen under the bottom element, they will smoke otherwise

Good advice Maddy. I had a wee fire when I shut the lid whilst heating oil. Wont do that again!
My pizza machines had a big workout last night at my DDs hens party.
I had a huge array of toppings. I ended up having to use bought bases as I ran out of time to make and freeze pizza dough.
They were a hit and soaked up the champagne and wine that was consumed during the day.

Don't have time to read the whole thing to check but I saw a red pizza oven at coles on sale for $39. Any good?

It is a different brand to the newwave red/black, that's all I know. Sorry.

I have a red one I bought at one C some time back on sale for $20  . It has a removable stone and is it's fine. When you are in a hurry and don't want to use the oven it's just the thing. Haven't used it in a while tho because this lot prefer their pizzas from the fan forced oven.

Choice magazine had an article on little pizza ovens this month, have a look if you subscribe to the magazine/website. It wasn't a full test/review but did say that the ones on the market seemed to do a good job with pizza, although they warned that all models get very hot and shouldn't be used by unsupervised children.

For $39 it's no great disaster if it doesn't last for years anyway.

Buy it......

everyone should have a pizza machine.

I bought the one from C*les cos I want to take it to our beach house. People who rent holiday homes can be very rough with things and $40 isn't going to make me cry if they don't look after it. The oven runs off a gas bottle and if they made pizzas in the oven it makes sense to have a pizzamaker costwise. It will be interesting to see how long it lasts 

[salsabil]

I ended up getting the coles one and am making pizza right now. Is it normal for it to take a while? Or do you preheat the stone first? It is my first time making pizzas in a longggggg time.

[salsabil]

ok i already gave up on it. it is going back to them. it says in the instructiosn it should take 6-8 mins to cook a pizza. i don't know if mine is just a dodgy one but 30 mins later still not cooked so i took the pizza off and put it in the oven. will be getting the black one instead.

Didn't you get instructions with the machine salsabil?  The stone has to be preheated and that usually takes about 5 minutes - I have the Pizza Maker not the Coles one.
