A conventional pizza oven consists of an oven floor, a dome and a ceramic door. These pizza ovens are usually maintenance free and can be easily cleaned with a brush or a damp cloth.
An electric pizza oven is usually a compact one which may have a 30-minute timer and a traditional bell ring. Such electric pizza ovens are usually 12 inches in size and come with a 700W heating element. People prefer to use this type of compact pizza oven for making pizzas as well as re-heating food.
A pizza oven which can be placed on a kitchen counter is small in size and is usually equipped with programmable cooking time and heat insulation. Such compact pizza ovens have at least 3 level temperature controls and can cook pizzas in less than 5 minutes. These pizza ovens feature a removable stone base that can be easily interchanged with a deep dish pan.
In order to cook up to five 12” pizzas at a time, a larger pizza oven can be used. This pizza oven must also have a reasonable size baking tray. Such a pizza oven can be used to cook not just pizzas but other dishes as well. These could include fish, bread, roast pork, bread and butter puddings, rhubarb crumbles, stews or even a full Christmas dinner.
A wood fired pizza oven can also be used to make pizzas. A wood fired pizza oven is made of high quality refractory bricks. Besides being easy to assemble, a wood fired pizza oven is also easy to use. These types of pizza ovens comprise six pieces which are held in place using heat resistant silicone. This heat resistant silicone tube is provided as a part of the wood fired pizza oven kit. A wood fired pizza oven kit also has an iron oven door, a chimney cover, a chimney cowl, pizza peels, oven thermometers, an insulating plinth and weather resistant covers.
A more versatile version is a stonebake pizza oven. This pizza oven features a special deep dish that can be interchanged with a non-stick plate. It also has an upper grill and a unique ‘spinning’ stone element to add a distinct stonebaked flavour to pizzas. This pizza oven may also feature an analogue timer, a viewing panel, a rotating base, multiple cooking settings and temperature controls.
A ceramic pizza oven can also be used to cook large pizzas. Such pizza ovens use seasoned wood or charcoal and are usually kept outdoors. A heavy duty cast iron pizza oven is also used to make pizzas sometimes. Such pizza ovens might be equipped with a barbeque grill and can be used with coal, wood, charcoal or smokeless fuel.
