Presto Pizzazz Plus Rotating Pizza Oven, 03430 Black

I vaguely remember this appliance being hugely popular in the 70s or 80s with the frozen pizza crowd then reading the rave reviews posted elsewhere from owners who purchased one at that time, the earlier model, of course. Same same. Theirs are still running strong some 50 years later! Not only that, but my gas utility bill was outrageous (understatement) and I'm cutting back on using gas. This baby is all electric, cooks most things in under 20 minutes, no preheating whatsoever. Solid built, heavy duty. Heating elements top and bottom. Top element reaches 500 degrees, bottom, 350. Though temperatures cannot be adjusted, there's the switch for using top or bottom separately or dual (both). A separate knob controls the timer. It takes a little while to figure it out, maybe a day using it, but it's super easy and fun. Comes with a 12" flat metal pan that's not teflon coated but use silicon utensils anyways and don't cut anything on it; wash gently by hand with a sponge to make this investment last. Has a peg line-up on the reverse to attach which can be tricky so take your time with this. To turn off, rotate knob on top to zero and unplug. Doesn't take long to cool down and main unit doesn't take up much space on the counter, about the size of a toaster. All that said, cooking on the Presto Pizzazz Plus shouldn't be used for anything that splatters like frying meats or poultry. No soups or things in a bowl. Someone uses it to make quiche in an aluminum pie plate. Others bake cookies, rolls, anything that doesn't have a height to interfere with the top element. Pancakes, nachos, gyoza, ravioli, french fries, open faced sandwiches, grilled cheese... the list goes on. Get creative! Very super happy with my purchase! Go Presto!
