Miniature Brick Oven

Required Eating

Posted by Robyn Lee, February 28, 2008 at 3:30 PM

Having trouble baking pizza to the perfect crispiness or churning out a crusty loaf of bread in your home kitchen? Maybe you should try the Cuisinart Brick Oven Deluxe, a one cubic foot-sized oven with brick built into the walls and a removable stone base. After using the oven, Gina Provenzano at The Epi-Log said, "Everything you bake in it comes out with a crispy, flaky exterior and a chewy, delicious interior because the stone holds heat and distributes it more uniformly."

I don't care how many bricks are in this thing, if its top temperature is 500°F, as it states on the product page, it's not going to do pizza properly. All that other stuff, maybe, but don't kid yourself that you're going to make a truly great pizza in this thing.

Only goes up to 500 degrees, might as well use a stone or unglazed tiles in your home oven. The unglazed flooring tiles I use work really well, but an oven that would go to real pizzeria temps now that would rock!!

I've seen how folks on the internet have cut off the notch for the self cleaning lock out and were able to get the 750-800 like a real pizza oven. I'm renting so that would be a bad plan.

Try putting a pizza stone on the grill. You can get up to 700 degrees pretty easily.

They also make a BRK-300 that adds a Rotisserie function as well, which if you're going to sacrifice the counter space, might as well go for the whole shebang.

I have been curious about the BRK-300 with the rotisserie. Not so much for pizzas, but for general baking and of course roasting. I am just having trouble justifying spending the >$400 on what really just amounts to a super deluxe toaster oven... Someone, convince me! I really want it :)

I've been thinking about this one:

It says it goes up to 797 deg. Anyone seen it?
