There’s something special about making pizza at home: watching the dough rise, the aroma of tomato and basil filling the air, the joy of choosing the best ingredients, and the satisfaction of baking a perfectly crisp pizza, just like at a pizzeria, without even leaving the house. Preparing the dough, selecting the toppings, and sharing the pizza with family and friends are simple gestures that bring great satisfaction.
How can you achieve a perfect, quick, and easy result without a wood-fired oven? The solution is to have a high-quality electric pizza oven, like the brand-new Quisipizza by Girmi.
The features of Quisipizza are designed to recreate the ideal conditions for perfect pizza at home, from the cooking temperature to the refractory stone base. Let’s explore why these factors are essential for achieving flawless pizza.
The ideal temperature for baking pizza depends on the oven, but it typically ranges between 350°C and 400°C. This allows you to achieve a Neapolitan-style pizza with a crispy base and a soft crust. In traditional home ovens, which usually don’t reach these temperatures, it’s recommended to set the temperature to the maximum (around 250-280°C) and use a refractory stone. This helps simulate the conditions of a professional oven. The pizza should be baked quickly, in about 4-7 minutes, to maintain its soft interior and perfect golden crust.
The Quisipizza Girmi oven delivers optimal results in just 4 minutes because it can reach a maximum temperature of 420°C. Despite these high temperatures, its external walls remain cool for maximum safety during use.
An electric oven with a refractory stone is ideal for homemade pizza
If you’re wondering which type of electric oven to choose for making pizza at home, the answer lies in the inclusion of a refractory stone. This stone ensures even heat distribution to both the base and the upper layers of the pizza. Additionally, its porous surface absorbs excess moisture, resulting in a crispy and well-cooked base while avoiding the typical “soggy” effect. By replicating the high temperatures and intense heat of a wood-fired oven, the stone helps achieve similar results in texture and browning.
Moreover, the refractory stone utilizes pyrolysis, an automatic cleaning process that uses high temperatures to naturally and safely eliminate food residues without the need for chemicals, preserving the authentic taste of your pizza.
Quisipizza is equipped with a 31 cm refractory stone that ensures these ideal conditions for a perfectly crispy result. All of this comes in a compact and lightweight electric oven with dimensions of 40 cm in width, 16 cm in height, and 36 cm in depth, weighing just 5.2 kg. This makes it easy to move and store in your kitchen cabinets, perfect for use whenever and wherever you want—even at a friend’s house or on vacation.
Preheating
Turn on the oven and set the desired temperature using the adjustable thermostat. Wait until the oven reaches the set temperature.
Preparation
Place the pizza on the refractory stone, ensuring it is evenly spread for uniform cooking.
Cooking
Set the integrated timer up to 30 minutes, depending on the recipe and dough thickness. For a perfect Neapolitan pizza, only 4 minutes are needed!
Removal
Use appropriate tools to take the pizza out once it’s cooked, taking care with the hot surfaces.
The energy consumption of a pizza oven depends on its power and usage time. Quisipizza has a total power of 1800W, with a 1200W upper heating element and a 600W lower heating element. If used at maximum power for one hour, the consumption would be 1.8 kWh. However, since cooking a pizza takes only 4-7 minutes on average, the energy consumption for a single pizza is approximately 0.12-0.21 kWh.
So the answer is: the consumption is relatively low. Considering the cost of ingredients and energy, homemade pizza is significantly more economical than a pizzeria pizza!
In conclusion, thanks to a unique combination of high temperatures up to 420°C and a sturdy refractory stone, Quisipizza is truly the ideal oven for achieving perfectly cooked pizza. In no time, your creation will have a crispy, golden base, a soft center, and a fluffy, airy crust. Perfect for delighting friends and family!
