This is a useful video BUT to get the best results with a baking steel you (a) need to switch on the broiler when you first put in the pizza (that's what gives the outer rim the blistering) and (b) it's important to find the right rack level for your oven (that's what dictates the relative cooking speed from above and underneath). It would be useful to redo this video with those changes, so it provides a more accurate comparison.

K Rana i just got a steel. So you’re saying to cook the pizza with the broiler on after the steel is preheated? How far away should the rack be to not burn the top?

@@phoenixhazard I've found that such an approach produces the best results and it is what's recommended by a few different sources. I preheat my baking steel to about 550 and leave it at that temperature for about 15 minutes to make sure that it's stable. I then switch the oven to the broiler for about 40 seconds, pull out the rack, put on the pizza, push in the rack, and let it cook until it's done (which takes about 3 minutes). For my oven, the best positioning is the second rack from the top. But it will really depend on how your oven functions. For some people, the top rack might be best. For others, the middle rack might be better. It just depends on a little bit of trial and error to see which position yield the best balance between the top and the underside getting cooked to your liking. I hope that helps.

The most important with the steel is to preheat it for 1 hour b4 baking. U can turn on the broiler when u preheat to when u open the door u will lower the temp of the oven and the broiler will start up again.

I agree with the broiler move. As to people asking about rack level, I've found that each of the numerous places I've lived required some adjustments compared to the previous oven, especially notable with a time-sensitive thing like pizza. It generally took me several months to figure out each new oven.

That’s what I do too. Preheat for about 2 hours (while your dough comes to temp) and then broil for like 15 minutes. I also put a second steel on top so the pizza is getting radiant heat from the bottom *and* top.

I might be the perfect audience member for this video. I have made many pizzas in my oven under the broiler on my 550°F preheated Baking Steel, and I have also spent hours reading and watching videos on the Breville Pizzaiolo. I've watched most, maybe all of the videos of this oven on KZbin. I can't afford a large $800 countertop appliance that is arguably a unitasker-it might be useful for some flatbreads, but not much else I'd make regularly-but that hasn't stopped me from being fascinated by this machine. Let me first say that I'm impressed by the hosts. Clearly this woman knows how to make pizza. Maybe her co-host does, too, but she's the one showing her knowledge here. I make pizza often and with very similar technique to hers. The little details reveal her knowledge of pizza making: the several-day cold fermentation in the refrigerator, the semolina flour on the peel, the fact that she has preferences on peel materials and cheese placement based on experience. It's clear that she's not only baked her fair share of pizzas, but has researched the matter. Her competency is important. Most of the pizzas I've seen baked in the Pizzaiolo look like typical oven pizzas and nothing like the pizzas Breville uses in the advertising. Lots of demonstrations by amateurs and "photo ops" with experienced pizzaiolos (pizza bakers) who have never used the machine before and so don't showcase the real potential of the machine and results buyers can expect. I have seen a couple pictures that suggest better results than obtainable with an oven and baking steel may actually be possible. But few early reviewers have had both decent enthusiast-level home pizza baking skill and real experience with the Pizzaiolo oven. This is the first time where I looked at the results and thought they were representative of what I'd be able to make after gaining a little bit of experience with the machine. I have to say, it really does looks a step up from oven pies! I couldn't tell in other reviews if that was the case. But here I see in just two minutes real dark spots and big _corniciones_ (crust bubbles). Due to my experience with a Baking Steel of the same thickness (I use the 9.4lb 3/8" thick 11.5" diameter Baking Steel Round Mini Griddle: hard to launch/slide the pizza onto since it's barely bigger than the pizza but easier to clean due to size and weight), I knew something was up with your oven when I saw the bottom of the pizza, even before you said the oven was bad. I get bottoms that are perfect and look much like the Pizzaiolo bottom. Pale with dark spots. Not that even browning you got on the steel here, which isn't representative of what the steel does when it's preheated at typical maximum oven temperatures. It looks like your oven isn't holding a high temperature, and the steel couldn't fully preheat. If your oven was working well your results might be halfway between what you got out of your bad oven and what you got out of the Pizzaiolo. I'm impressed that you determined the presets were perfect for your needs. I'd probably fiddle a little and eventually come back to the presets because they do sound pretty perfect, especially for more formulaic/simple pies like Neapolitan-style. I doubt if it's really possible to get the even little spotting of a traditional 900°+ pizza oven that Breville advertises as coming out of the Pizzaiolo. I'll believe it when I see it. But clearly what's shown in this video is something that can't be done in the 500-550°F heat of the standard home oven. It looks great. For the first time, now I have an idea of the capabilities of the machine, because your video is demonstrative and credible. Thank you very much for an excellent video. I am so glad I subscribed! Great content. Knowledgeable and personable friendly hosts, informed opinions from people who have done their homework, highly effective presentation with good photography. Just what I have come to expect from the Wirecutter website and why I trust it. Now I am beginning to trust this KZbin channel as well. Keep it up, you're doing excellent work! Not to disparage anyone too much, but the Eater video on this oven, which has 231,000 views, had the same objectives but I would confidently call it inferior in every way. They just didn't do a good job providing an answer for those wondering if this oven offers something unique that makes it worth buying for some people. This video did. I've watched it twice and will probably watch it again later. It showed how to use this oven and what it does. The comparative demonstration wasn't perfect (only because of the bad oven) but it's very important to showcase what's actually different by minimizing variables and I really appreciate the effort to do so. Because these videos are great, useful, and often simply better than other videos on their subject matter, I think this channel will build a large following if it continues in this vein. The last video with these two hosts that I watched, on air fryers, was the best thing I've ever seen on air fryers. I'm going to go back and catch up on the videos on his channel that I've missed. You've earned a real fan here! Thanks for providing so much useful information and guidance!

My solution was to measure my home oven, and go to a shop which installs stone countertops. They gave me two sink cutouts, and I used a tile saw to cut them down to 1.5-inches less each way than the interior dimensions the oven. I then placed one of the stones centered with an even gap all around, on the top rack of the oven, set in the top rack slot. I placed the second stone on a rack, two rack slots below the top one. On my oven the rack slots are three inches apart, and the stone I got was 1-1/2-inch thick soap stone. So, with the two slot gap, I have about 4-1/2-inches between the stones. Commercial ones are about 5 or 6-inches between the stones. My oven thermostat will set up to 550-F, and it will take about an hour to preheat the oven with the stones in it. My pizza may not be as good as that done by a high end pizza shop with a commercial oven. But it is as good, if not better, than 90% of the pizza I’ve gotten anywhere in Idaho.

The manufacturer of my pizza steel tells you to put it in the oven, on the high rack and preheat with the broiler on high for 30 minutes. Using an IR thermometer, my steel gets between 750F and 800F. I don’t know why one would use the “baking” setting instead of broil. The broiler gives intense heat from above while the pizza steel provides the heat under the crust. Our pizzas cook in between 5 and 6 minutes. It doesn’t look like the Breville could handle pizzas the size you can make with a steel.

I have a few Joe Doughs and love them. I first started with the 3/8 incher and bought two 1/2 inchers when they were on sale. I bake bread a lot so I just leave both 1/2 inchers in my oven permanently. They are way too heavy to move every time. My 3/8 inch I now use in my gas grill to achieve awesome pan seared chicken thighs and other goodies... back to the steel. I don´t recall where I got my info (could have been from Falls Culinary, the makers of the steel) but it said preheat oven at highest temp for an hour and then 20 minutes before putting in the pie, turn on (and leave on) the broiler. Pizza cooks in like 4-5 minutes (I like my pizza a bit charred). I believe I read optimal distance from broiler is about 8 inches below so it does not burn too fast. that is about my second rack.

Gonna expand on what someone said. When using the baking steel you need to start with bake and then switch to broil halfway through. If you had done that you would’ve had pizza in roughly 3 minutes. So it’s an unfair comparison. Also works even better if you use 2 baking steels, starting with the dough on top an then transferring it to one on the bottom. Had you used the steel correctly you would’ve had the exact result as the Breville for a fraction of the price.

After having a pizza stone and a pizza steel, by far the steel is a better choice, especially if you like working with yeast. You can make so many other things on it, not just pizza. Pizza will come out stellar if you heat it and then cook your pizza on broil for about 4 minutes before turning it down. The Breville is an appliance and it has to have a place for storage. You aren't going to want to leave this thing on your counter. If you have newer granite counters like many homes do, you will need something to put something under it like a silicon mat, or you could crack your granite. Storage of the steel can be right in your cabinet that you store the cookie sheets in. It is one of the best things I have ever purchased, this coming from a former stone fan. There is just no comparison once you learn how to use it. The 72 hour pizza dough hands down is a game changer. This guy in the video using the steel did not heat it right. For you people that don't like stuff on your counters, the steel is for you. You can find cheaper steels on Amazon.

Many ovens can get hotter by about 35 degrees or so if you can get into the calibration settings. My GE Profile gas oven can get about 600 with the adjustment. But I've found that keeping the steel at the second to highest level is better since the flame isn't very even and you can't/shouldn't be opening the door to adjust it until the very end.

More quibbles with the baking steel usage! 1) That pizza needed to go for longer than five minutes. 2) It probably needed a slightly different dough formulation since it's a lower heat and longer cook to get similar results - probably a higher hydration would have been better. 3) Also why would you do a neapolitan on the pizza steel? it's like using a toaster oven to make cookies - sure it works but imperfectly. Most people who use the baking steel are trying larger NY style pies.

I enjoyed this comparison. All this fuss about Leopard Spots - can you taste the difference or is it simply about the looks? Also, once you have pizza steel at the right level in your oven, and with stone or another steel above, you get great results. With my Samsung oven set to Convection Bake at 550 F, with 1/8 inch pizza steel on the bottom, the pizza cooks in under 4-5 minutes depending on the size and thickness. Another important variable is your dough which is rarely discussed in sufficient detail when comparing oven heat. While everyone raves about 1/4 inch steel or even thicker, the oven preheating time gets longer to heat a larger hunk of steel. Once my oven beeps that it has reached 550 F, I often only wait 10 more minutes before I bake. Since gas ovens mess up the air in the kitchen even with a decent exhaust fan running, I don't want to run the gas oven for longer than necessary. As far as I am concerned, the easier and less time I spend with the entire pizza making, the happier I am. So for now if I'm satisfied with my simple, quick baking time, I'm less interested in preheating the pizza steel on the range, or with the broiler, at least at this point, but I do appreciate the suggestions for those who are willing to put in much more time and effort for what they consider ultimate perfection. So thanks for all the suggestions.

They aren't as expensive as the breville pizzaiolo, but I would say they make better pizzas than both that and the pizza steel, plus they can reach temps of up to 900 degrees, for properly cooked neopolitan pizza within one minute. The average one will cost from 350 to 650 dollars. They also have lots of different fuel options, like propane, natural gas, wood, charcoal, and pellets.

You can get the same results with a stone in the oven, using the boiler to finish it off. I use two stones in the oven, one in the lower middle, and one in the upper middle to finish. We purchased a new oven a while back, and everything changed. You have to get to know your oven. You have to make pizza to get to know where and when to cook it correctly, as fast as possible toppings and bottom together. Where I think the Breville shines is recovery time. And on a hot day you can take it outside, versus heating up the house with a cranked oven for an hour or so. I can bake a pizza in 3 minutes, but it takes a while for the stones and oven to recover. They also failed to mention that you can make a much bigger pizza with a stone, or steel. Which is a big deal when you are making pizza for a group of people. Pizza for two or 3 its fine. I would buy one today, but my biggest concern is its reliability. Is it going to quit working after a year? if so how cheap is it to fix?

@@sbaumgartner9848 Lead has not been added to ceramic tile since 1978.

From Daltile's website: "Does any Daltile tile contain lead? Daltile does not introduce (intentionally add) lead in any form as an ingredient to either the body materials or the glazes of our manufactured products, with only one exception. The single exception is related to a specialty color of red glaze. This color is used almost exclusively as accents in some wall and mosaic tile installation projects. Our efforts to eliminate the lead additive have been thus far resisted by our customers, because of the inability to duplicate the exact shade of red without using lead. " Our products are also free of asbestos. I use ceramic tile because it resists staining and absorption.

Thanks for the review. One MAJOR comparison you failed to list is the $1,000 price of the Breville vs the Baking steel at $89-119. The Breville takes a major hunk of cabinet storage space (I know) and then counter space to use. I do have The Baking Steel and I absolutely have been blown away in an amazing way. I get the BEST leoparding of the underside of the crust. My crusts are crunchy and the dough is still airy and bubbly and moist. The baking steel makes absolutely the best pizza I've ever had. I have an older oven, so the broiler oven will only work with preheating to 450 degrees rather than the 550 degrees max. (I use the top rack for Neopolitan or middle rack for NY style).... But even with NOT using the broiler oven, the pizza is far superior to any pizza i've had at a wood fired pizza restaurant. Hands down, the pizza steel wins in my opinion over the Breville $`1K oven. (And I love the Breville brand)///// PLUS the baking steel can be used for Detroit style. and for focaccia and even used on the range cooktop as a griddle. You can put any pan you are using in the oven on the steel and it will magnify the cooking process. WAY more flexibility at $89 vs $1000. AND I dont' have to fight to store the thing. I leave it in my oven. It's super easy to clean too. (ps I have no affiliation with The Baking Steel... I am just a believer).

Steel plate takes long to heat up and cool down almost as slowly as stone. Aluminum slab is where it's at. There's a good chance that Pizzarillo oven has a thick aluminum plate hiding under a thin stone tile veneer inside to speed up preheating and reach thermal equilibrium. I use a 1/2:thick billet aluminum machining blank for a baking slab.
