Tech specs

If you’re serious about pizza, the Smart Oven

Pizzaiolo is a giver of dreams. It’s stylish, easy

to use and impressively consistent. The various

settings really do work, and being able to tweak

them to your taste means you’re unlikely to

grow out of using it – a problem with so many kitchen

gadgets. @chrishaslam

Steams from an Italian restaurant

The oven heats up in 20 minutes,

but baking a margarita really does

take under two minutes (4). Our

base was evenly cooked, the

cheese properly melted... and

the kitchen smelt heavenly.

Sliding the pizza out is easy and

it only takes a couple of minutes

to heat up again for round two.

Mozzarella about it

Controlling cooking at 400°C still

requires skill – dough thickness,

choice of cheese and toppings

are all factors to juggle. Switching

to thin and crispy meant longer

cooking times (5), but the pizzas

were consistent. Deep-pan took

18 minutes... with deliciously

indulgent results.

It’s still hot

and cold to me

Seven preset modes

take temperatures from

175 to 400°C, but the

oven’s exterior stays

safely warm to

the touch.
