    Looks fab but I think I would use it until the novelty wears off then go back to the normal oven :embarasse

    Me and gadgets just don't get on at all :rotfl:

    that's my problem with single purpose kitchen appliances, have two goerge foreman grills in the shed, a slow cooker and a juicer that will not see the light of day.

    Having said that you can easily recoup your costs just from a month or so of use. A pizza from a takeaway starts at £10 for two - they always cheap out on meat and put way too much cheese and bread in it. If you make your own pizzas you can be generous with the meat and make something nice and filling.

    Question: can you refrigerate the dough and use it another day? I can't sdee myself making the pizza dough over and over again - that looks like it takes time.

    As you have bumped the older thread, I've added your thread to it to keep the replies together.

    Looking at the prices of the pizza peels today, it might actually be more economical to go with the pizza oven! :eek:

    The pizza maker I bought doesn't seem to be available in the UK any more, which is probably why I managed to get mine at such a reduced price. I went on their New Zealand website, and they cost NZ$249 which is £128!

    I keep my pizza maker on top of the freezer so it's not on the worktop all the time. My family all prefer the pizzas I make in it over the pizzas I make in the normal oven, so for me it's been worth it.

    Most definitely. As Belfastgirl has said, you can freeze it too. I do both, as my pizza dough recipe makes enough for 3 12" bases, so refrigerate what I am going to be using for the next day, and freeze the remainder.
