As good as it is, making pizza at home is a guaranteed good time with friends or family. Want to decide to change from traditional barbecue? Here’s a selection of the best tools and accessories to get you started.
The pizza oven is obviously the central element for making homemade pizza. Now there are many solutions, whether electricity, wood or gas. The first is practical, but often less effective, the second is effective, but less practical, while the last represents an ideal in between. This is why the Tefal Pizza Pronto is the ideal everyday pizza oven.
It is capable of reaching 400°C in 15 minutes, then cooks a pizza in 90 seconds! Family or friends won’t have to wait between two pizzas. Pizza Pronto also offers a particularly practical innovation, even more so if you don’t have a helping hand: the corderite cooking tray (one of the best materials for pizza ovens) rotates 360 °. The device makes it very easy to turn your pizza for cooking.
All-in-one, the oven is compact, comes with its own shovel, and offers access to a catalog of 100 recipes. Pizza Pronto is suitable for beginners and more experienced pizza makers without experts. So it is a solution that you can keep at home without taking much time.
To take advantage of it, all you need is a gas bottle and its accessories (hoses, regulator). We recommend a propane bottle that is more resistant to low temperatures and can therefore be kept outside all year round. You’ll have pizzas for warming up in the winter and aperitifs in the summer.
Other useful accessories
Now that you have an oven, a pizza peel, and the recipe, there are no other essentials to making pizza at home. However, there are some practical and inexpensive ones that will make the experience more enjoyable.
An infrared thermometer
As we said above, the Pizza Pronto is capable of reaching 400 degrees Celsius, but how do you know when the temperature has been reached? An infrared thermometer will make this easy to detect. This is especially important with pizza, the cooking of which very clearly depends on the temperature of the oven and the ability of the stone to hold the heat without burning the bottom of the pizza. It’s a must for pizza, and also very useful for barbecue.
Dough cutter
This may sound anecdotal, but it’s less common than you might think. If you make your own pizza dough, a dough cutter can be especially handy for handling it and cutting equal-sized pieces of dough. This will allow you to easily adjust the quantity according to the capacity of the oven…and avoid any sibling jealousy.
Brush for cleaning stone
You may not know this, but it is strongly advised not to wash the pizza oven stone with water. The materials used are often porous, and if they are wet, they are prone to breaking the next time they are used. So the best way to maintain it is to brush it to remove any leftover pizza or leftover dough. That’s why we recommend you invest in a brush that fits your oven.
