Yum yum! The PIZZA thread!

I had to replace my kitchen oven, the big installed one, last year. The new comes with an oven that has strict electricty limitation, and I find unfortunately that it just doe snot get hot enough anymore. The old oven brought a pizza stone placed on the lowest rost to up tp 290°C, whcih was resptcable and srved my pizza needs sufficiently. But the new one only reaches around 230°C, and 20° more only with ventilator, this time and again has givne me pizzas with white rims and not sufficient crust at the top and bottom.

I thus have ordered, hesitently, a special small pizza oven. With hesitation, because I read that for not too few people the heating bars have molten or the device was manfuacture din china and badly so, kicking the safeties for the electric circuits of the flat/house out. I found one that seems to get build in Bavaria. The thing, they say, gets up to 430°C. In 6 minutes times of pre-heating time.

It consumes 1200 Watts, which is a fraction of what an installed kitchen oven takes - and I needed to pre-heat these for an hour or so, at full speed. Imagine the bill. This is Germany, nowhere in the West electricity is so costly than here.

The stone plate can be lifted and taken out, there is a second heating element in the bottom, too. Comapny is Mayer Barbecue. The basic design of these ovens can be fond under many different, Asien and Italian labels. With the Italians letting produce in china as well.

Next week I will find out, with the new flour well. Today's pizza was so-la-la, too much water everywhere, and the dough was a desaster, and the lacking heat left the dough white as snow:

No, the taste did not keep what the looks promised. The black stuff is - half a kilogram (!!) of fresh spinacci, separately prepared in a pan. It shrunk and shrunk and shrunk and so I decided to eat it before it would completely disappear. No crust. No brown crispy edges. A desaster pizza. I love good pizza. I hate bad pizza. This one was lousy.

Yes. Sometimes even Skybird messes up his pizza.

I went into the garden and chopped off the flag. Maybe I just should have lowered it, but I was in the mood for something more radical.
