What’s better, a homemade pizza cooked in three minutes or calling the local pizza place and waiting for a delivery that may take up to an hour?
The ability to separately adjust the fire flowing through both burners makes it possible to get that “just right” heat to authentically bake New York-, Chicago- or Neapolitan-style pies. The oven is versatile enough to bake breads, roast vegetables, meat or fish.
“We made this oven with two stones and two burners for an authentic and versatile cooking experience,” said Russ Faulk, vice president of product development for Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet. “The stone on the baking deck is hollow to heat and cool quickly, the one in the ceiling is there to radiate heat back down to pizza toppings, which help create the blistered and leoparded crusts so key to Neapolitan-style pizza flavor.”
A new design aesthetic of linked circles updates the oven’s front and side panels. Designed to sit on an outdoor countertop, it is compact, measuring 30 inches wide by 30 inches deep by 20 inches high and 120 pounds. That size and weight also make it portable. The oven can be taken to the big game for the ultimate tailgate, to a friend’s house, even to the beach.
Built by hand in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and priced at $6,795, the oven is available through kalamazoogourmet.com, select dealerships and certified design professionals.
