Pizza Oven Recipes

Styles of Pizza Bases

  • Frozen-topped Pizza: Turn your oven onto setting 1. Once the light has turned off, place your frozen pizza directly onto the stone and close the lid. Leave the frozen pizza in the pizza oven for approximately 4 minutes to defrost. Once the base has defrosted, turn the setting up to 2.5 and cook for approximately 5 minutes.
  • Pizza Mix or Bread Mix: Follow the instructions on your pizza or bread mix package and adjust the cooking time and temperature accordingly.

USING YOUR PIZZA MAKER

First Time Use
When using your Pizza Maker for the first time, please read the instructions contained in this manual. Before cooking, let your oven run for 10 minutes with the lid closed on setting 2. This will burn off any lubricants from the oven’s heating elements and will also help to pre-season your cooking stone. This will not affect the performance of your oven, nor will it be necessary to repeat this process any time in the future.
Never use cooking oil or water directly on the cooking stone when cooking, seasoning or cleaning. When cooking with the stone, place the uncooked foods (pizza) directly on the stone surface. Do not worry about small scratches or that your stone surface has turned a darker color. This is a sign that your stone has been well seasoned.

Never use a knife or pizza cutter on the stone as this could damage the fine- grained cooking surface. The Pizza Maker is designed to make delicious pizza from fresh dough and frozen pizza bases. When using a frozen pizza base, allow the base to thaw before placing in the oven. This will result in a crispy cooked pizza. When cooking fresh dough, lightly flour the stone before placing the dough directly onto the stone. If you have sticky dough, add more flour to your dough as it will stick to the stone.

Make any of the delicious recipes included in this booklet or you can make your own exciting new recipes. Extreme caution is needed when opening the Pizza Maker as built up steam may be quickly released. Gloves are recommended when opening the pizza oven to ensure safety.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
The heat indicator light goes on and off. This is an automatic thermostat
light. The light will stay on until the oven has reached the desired

temperature setting.
---|---|---
Top of pizza burns.| Temperature of oven is too high.| When checking the pizza, if you think the top is cooking quicker than the bottom, turn the oven setting back to 1, leaving the pizza to continue cooking without the thermostat light on. Alternatively leave the lid open for a couple of minutes so you

can watch the pizza finish cooking.

Bottom of pizza burns.| Temperature of oven is too high.| Make sure the oven has been pre-heated on setting 1. When the oven light goes out, allow a couple of minutes for the stone to rest before adding the pizza. When cooking additional pizzas one after the other it is best to leave the lid open for a few

minutes in between cooking pizzas with the setting back to 1.

Dirty Stone Base.| Moisture on bottom of base.| Don’t worry if stone marks. The greater the marks, the better

the flavor it gives the pizza. Just scrape off any excess material with the wooden shovels.

COOKING ON THE STONE

  1. First, ensure the control knob is set to off and have a quick check inside your Pizza Maker to see that nothing is inside your oven other than the cooking stone.
  2. Plug your Pizza Maker into 230V/1200W plug. To turn the pizza maker on, you must select a temperature and an operating time on the timer. If the timer is not programmed, the device will not start. You will notice the heat indicator light go on, this indicates that your Pizza Maker is pre-heating. By pre-heating your oven before using, you will achieve better baking results.
  3. Your heat indicator light will turn off in approximately 5 minutes indicating that your Pizza Maker has pre-heated and is ready for use.
  4. Place your cooked or un-cooked pizza dough directly onto the wooden shovels and add your favorite toppings. Never over-fill or mount your topping too high on your pizza. The topping should always be below the height of the top- heating coil to avoid burning.
  5. Making sure your Pizza Maker is pre-heated, slide your pizza off the wooden shovels and directly onto the heated stone. Warning, the pizza stone and the handles will be extremely hot. Do not touch it at any time until it has had a chance to cool down.
  6. Close the lid of your Pizza Maker and turn control knob to 5 and allow your pizza to bake for 4-5minutes, or until the desired taste. Remember, every pizza may have a different crust thickness or topping, some pizzas may cook quicker than others. It is recommended that you open the lid of your Pizza Maker after 3 minutes to check the progress, if your pizza is not ready, simply close the lid and continue to cook until your desired taste.
  7. If your pizza is cooking too quickly, simply turn the cooking temperature counter clockwise to a lower setting to reduce the cooking temperature. To raise the cooking temperature turn the cooking temperature clockwise to a higher setting.
  8. When cooking with a frozen pizza base, allow the dough to thaw before use. Once thoroughly thawed, slide your pizza directly onto the heated stone.
  9. Do not use sticky dough on the stone or wooden shovels. If your dough is sticky, we recommend you use a pizza tray to par-cook the pizza then slide directly off onto the stone, or flour the stone and place dough directly on top.
  10. Once you have cooked your pizza, turn the control knob back down to 1.5, then proceed with preparing your next pizza. Once this is ready, place into the oven and then turn the oven back up to 2.5. Repeat this process if cooking further pizzas.
