Can you try to get the chefman electric pizza oven? Released at Costco for 400 usd. Just saw a photo of it and it looks interesting

I'm wondering if the pizza tastes just as good as using a outdoor pizza oven?

Awesome video! Just getting into exploring making better pizza. Curious if this could be used to replace a toaster oven. Due to size I need to find an appliance to give up.

Honestly, I've never been a toaster oven user haha. But I don't see why not. I've done a sous vide steak and the seared it in the volt, nachos, and I also do veggies pretty often. But never did anything toast/sandwich or dessert related

OK, so I rewrite my earlier comment since it wasn't clear to the channel owner. I'm sorry for everyone who has become the victim of Ooni marketing. They sponsor many KZreadrs to generate a hype, and it seems to work. It also means some people have way too much money. But for those on a tighter budget there are alternatives at one third (!) of the price with the same build quality. For example: where I live I can buy a 13" Cozze electrical oven for 300 EUR, or 17" for 400 EUR. No fancy LCD screens, but otherwise identical, and wider, therefore better. Or I could buy a Bighorn pellet oven, with chimney, for 179 EUR, identical to the Ooni Karu 12, but a whole lot cheaper. If you want the real thing and you can spare 900 USD, then you should buy the Rolls Royce among electrical pizza ovens for home use: the Effeuno P134HA 509. This Effeuno model is very high, meaning your pizza won't burn and you can add a real biscotto stone on top of the corderite bottom. It's 14" wide. Don't confuse with the lower model. Personally I use a no-name industrial type oven, 16" wide, less insulated than the Cozze or the Ooni, and therefore limited to 350°C. But I paid less than 200 EUR for it, and it's also high enough to add a biscotto stone. If you have a barbecue with a lid you can consider a thick metal plate (to spread the heat), on which you lay a biscotto stone. The best barbecue models have a thermometer on the lid. It's a great alternative for a pizza party in the garden. But please be very careful to add the thick metal plate and to select a stone that can handle the heat without exploding. Original biscotto stones from Napoli don't come cheap, but they are worth it.

The effeuno is amazing but that model is $3000 in my country. In my opinion if you're serious about making neapolitan pizza semi often and have outdoor space then get a gas oven. If you want to learn about pizza making and have pizza on a regular basis then get a good cheap electric clamshell type. I paid equiv of $60 USD delivered which is cheaper than a pizza steel for conventional oven. I use it almost every day, 10 min pre-heat and approx 5 min cook. No pizza peel needed.

In America, Ooni's one of the best pizza oven options. If I wanted an P134HA (which I do) It's close to $1800 for the oven, and I'd have to pay an electrician who knows how much $$$ to come and wire a 240v outlet. I'm betting it would be at least $300, maybe a lot more. If you live in Europe and can get it for 800 that's a no brainer choice, but it's almost 3x that here when you factor in everything.

Karoo 16 you can also cook steaks. Would you even attempt it in this Volt ?

Is there any advantages in taste or texture that you get from a 60 second bake in your larger oven compared to the volt? Or is it only significant in how quickly pizzas can come out? Thanks for the video!

There is a difference when working with 00 flour. While most of the crust rise happens through fermentation (think of how poolish, biga, or extended fermentation doughs tend to be more airy than a standard dough), really hot temps can aid in the rise as well. A 60 second pizza will likely have a thinner layer of crunch on the exterior, and a more airy, soft interior of the crust; whereas one approaching 2 minutes will firm up a bit more. Direct flame contact can also provide more leoparding, if you like that (I do). With that said, I rarely do 60 second bakes in portable ovens. Most fall around the 80-90 second time; and that's because I like the final result better, not because they can't do it.

I live in a condo for the moment. Not only is room at a premium, but there is no baking in an outdoor oven due to fire regs. Glad you did the homework for me because for sure I would not waste 1K on this. I use a Baking Steel in my home electric oven and get the same results (there is a way to do it to get your steel hot enough!) . Never had a failed pie yet. My counters are granite and it looks like yours are also some sort of stone. I have heard of people cracking their counters with an air fryer. This might be cool to the touch on the top, but I would not be so trusting of it. If I did splurge on this, I'd have a silicone pad under it. I'd have to make a lot of pizzas to justify that price. For 100 dollars, a Baking Steel will pay for itself after about 6 pizzas....not to mention all the other things you can do on it. Thanks for helping me. Saw this last night and really thought I wanted it.

Do you think a couple of these would be capable of small-scale commercial use?

Id love to see a review on the new Costco "Chefman Electric Indoor Pizza Oven". There is 0 info about it online at the moment.

Looks like its a slightly revamped Alibaba oven www.alibaba.com/product-detail/12-pizza-1700W-400C-750F-Stainless_1600791204735.html Not saying that it won't make good pizza or be worth the price, but that's all I know of it so far. I'd be very curious if it can indeed reach 800F. I don't live near a Costco, but I'll get it on my list about possibly purchasing for delivery soon.

There is an electric version of the oven that I want to use to make New York style pizzas but I don't know if it is just a glorified baking oven.

You're right about the pellet ovens, the only thing you have to worry about is corrosion, and if you keep it covered or bring it inside, should last a real long time. This Volt is built like a traditional oven, I really believe it will last a long time.

$1,000 lot of money. That would buy a lot of Papa Murphey's.

can a pizza steel be used inside instead of a stone? Typically the steel gets hotter.

it looks like it doesnt need to get much hotter the way it was already too dark with his first few attempts. I have a steel and thought the same thing, its a good question. even in my home oven the steel can scorch the bottom of my dough in short time, so I feel like it could be over kill here

Real nice oven. Unfortunately not 1300+ dollars nice. Especially not for something that'll top out at 12" pies. The home oven with a steel is just a much better option for the price, and way less tedious cooking for more than 1 person being able to get bigger pies. Not to mention the space it'll take up if your kitchen isn't huge.

I agree regarding the home oven if you're looking to make NY style pizzas. But the home oven cannot make real Neapolitan - so it's a matter of what style pizza you want to make. To get the most out of the cost of this oven, you'll definitely be wanting to use it for 00 flour at least some of the time. If not, home oven all the way for bread flour based indoor baking.

5:05 No. You will find a better pizza oven. Period. At a FRACTION of that price. Spice Diavola Pro. You’re welcome.

OOni is good but not £800 good.

I don't compare the 120v pizza ovens to 240v ovens; definitely my bad for not calling that out during this video. But I keep the rankings of indoor pizza ovens separate, because a 240v oven will always be superior but they are not as widely accessible to US consumers due to the electrical reqs. I have an Effeuno in my kitchen right now (review should be up in a week), and I can say, it is superior to the Ooni Volt. But it's a very different beast!

Think of business my friend and there lies your profit. It's a no Brainer if you can supply good tasting pizza to your demographics .

Buy the Saputo Biscotto stone for the floor and you will get closer to a verace pizza Napoletana! Almost anyway!

"u wont find a better indoor pizza oven" U tested them all?

Hi could I ask a question please. I'm currently considering a ooni volt, if already have a karu but can barely use it due to the weather lol it don't have a enclosed area like you outside. I assume you have used the volt many times now would you say there is genuinely much difference between the taste of the gas and electric volt? Or much difference between the bakes such as rise etc. Are you still using the volt? Thank you so much I'm really struggling and would appreciate some genuine feedback 🙏

@palapizzaovens

7 ай бұрын

I don't notice a taste difference from gas to electric. The Karu will have a tiny bit better performance for Neapolitan style because of its ability to get up and above 900F. So where you can get ~90 second bakes in the Karu, the Volt is more like 2 min. In the summer months, I use my outdoor ovens over the Volt. In the winter, I've been using this Volt more now.
