Jamie Oliver by Tefal Outdoor Gas Pizza Oven, Rotating Stone for Homemade Pizza, Pizza Parties, includes Pizza Peel, Gas Hose and Regulator, portable, foldable legs, black JM4168G0

I've had a pizza oven before and know that it iks simply impossible to make a proper pizza without a real pizza oven that can get to 350C temps and above.I always cook a NY style hybrid pizza and so I'm looking for a temp of 350c ish and this did a great job of attaining that(not on full flame) and also quickly getting the stone back up to temp between pizzas.I was slightly sceptical, initially, of the rotating stone as I thought it was going to be automatic and was worried that A) it would susceptical to breaking down and B) I know that judgement is crucial when turning a pizza - something that just goes around and around wouldn't work properly in my book.The oven uses a standard gas bottle and is eady to set up and connect - it requires an initial burn though to burn off the manufacturing residue.I've found it heats up quickly, around 20 mins, and the dials are good quality.Usually, I would prefer a larger oven as it is more difficult to rotate a pizza in a tighter space but the rotating stone negates that as being an issue - once launched then the only time you your peel is to take it out again.I'm a big fan of this and will be using a LOT in summer!

This pizza oven is a great option for making restaurant-quality pizza at home. The rotating stone ensures even cooking, and the gas-powered design heats up quickly, so you’re not waiting around forever. It’s easy to use, and the included pizza peel is a nice touch. The build quality feels solid, and it works well for outdoor cooking. The only downside is that it takes a bit of practice to get the perfect pizza, especially with temperature control. But once you get the hang of it, the results are amazing.

The Tefal Gas Rotating Stone Pizza Oven really does seem like it takes pizza creations to the next level and the fact you can manually rotate your pizza around does mean (as long as you’re keeping a close eye!) you get an even bake pretty much every time.Having a gas bbq mean I had the gas good to go and can really see the Tefal taking over the BBQ for more of the outdoor cooking as the quality of the pizza’s are fantastic.The oven itself is pretty big, heavy and bulky - as I’d be looking for in any outdoor cooking equipment so I mean that as a compliment. It’s built well and feels like it’s built to last - though I do wish it some form of covering or storage was included to help store it away during the downtime.It doesn’t use too much gas and gets to temperature remarkably quickly and is easy to use - I actually find making the pizza the hardest part, the cooking is now the easy part and that makes it an easy recommendation for me.

Very nice and sleek design. Set-up is very quick and easy and it comes with hose connector to the gas tank. Oven heats quickly as it’s a small oven. Very easy to operate and it’s very smart that the stone rotates so you don’t have to rotate the pizza itself for an even result. Pizza is ready in no time. You can see the whole pizza well as it turns so you can actually see when it’s ready without getting the peel to remove and check it. You do need a space for storage for it. Can’t wait for summer pizza and barbecue in the garden. I wish it was small enough to pack away for camping but we don’t have enough space for it in the campervan.

You notice that I said that this pizza oven makes cooking a homemade pizza simple - I did not say that this makes pizza making simple! I'm sure if your name is Jamie Oliver then making the pizza base is simple, but it is actually a lot harder than you expect. You have to make the dough, prove it for a few hours, then stretch it out, and finally load it with a decent sauce and toppings (that's the easy bit!). I found that it is a lot easier buying ready-made pizza balls online (and also available in supermarkets in the summertime).Anyway, this review is for the pizza oven itself. It's simple to setup, and this pizza oven's USP is that you can rotate the pizza stone and not have to rotate the actual pizza. The reason you have to rotate the pizza (or the stone with the pizza on top of it in this case) is that the difference in heat from the front to the back of the pizza oven is quite considerable. The front is a lot cooler as there is a slot letting the cold air in and hot air escape, so to get an even cook you need to turn the pizza. You can quite often scrunch up your pizza if you don't get the pizza peel under the pizza correctly.So turning the stone is actually a good idea, though not one that you might actually realise that you need unless you have experience cooking pizza.

Good clear instructions that I read before planning to use this, meant that I went through the two hour burning in process before trying to cook my first pizza, but this burn in does not need to be repeated after the first time.Pizzas cook really evenly as you can rotate the pizza stone by turning the dial on the side. The rotation is not automatic or motorised, but there's enough weight that it does turn even after you stop turning the dial. You will need to have a gas canister - most gas BBQ ones will be fine. The tube and regulator to connect to the gas bottle is in the box with the pizza oven. The oven warms up quickly, and cooking pizzas is quick, so it's easy to make this an alternative to a BBQ for family gatherings. I managed to use it on a bright dry day even in December, but it's going to be a godsend for the summer.I used a dough recipe that my brother has found for his own pizza oven and it works perfectly every time. I take the view that if I'm going to make my own pizza then I'm making it all and not buying shop pizza bases. My top tip is not to make the pizza base too thick and avoid overloading the toppings especially near the edges of the base.
