HAVE A SLICE SUMMER

PORTABLE PIZZA OVENS ARE A SUMMER CROWD-PLEASER Portable pizza ovens are the new air fryer. Specially designed to reach higher temperatures (some up to 950°F) and conduct heat efficiently, these handy appliances are becoming more and more popular both inside and out.

If you're ordering pizza more than a few times a month, summer is a great time to invest in an outdoor pizza oven.

For those who want the taste of authentic Neopolitan pies without the brick-and-mortar commitment of a traditional outdoor oven, portable ovens are the way to go.

BENEFITS OF PORTABLE PIZZA OVENS • High heat allows for better taste & texture • Fast - personal pizzas cook in ~60 seconds • Easily moved around the yard/deck, camping, etc.

• Little clean up • Great for entertaining • Versatile & can be used for making more than pizza • Several options for fuel

August Ooni Karu 12 Portable Pizza Oven

TIPS • A pizza peel (a shovel-like tool to maneuver pizzas in and out of the oven) is a must! Dust it with flour or cornmeal to prevent sticking.

• Pizza should be at least 1/2 to 1 inch smaller than cooking surface.

• Shred your own cheese - many pre-shredded cheeses contain fillers that might make it burn.

• Don't overdo toppings, this makes the pizza too heavy causing it to stick to the peel or hold too much moisture in the crust.

ALTERNATIVES Low on space or just want a quick-fix? Try a grill accessory instead. Like this KettlePizza stainless steel insert that transforms gas and Weber-style charcoal grills into grill-top pizza ovens:

A ceramic pizza stone is another easy and affordable alternative to any type of pizza oven. While you won't get all the benefits of using a specialty oven, they do help retain heat and absorb moisture to create a crisp, tasty crust.

You can also use a cast iron skillet - heat your oven to its hottest temperature and place it on the bottom to start, then move it to a higher shelf after adding the toppings.
