The proof that 80€ LIDL pizza oven is worth it. Let's cook Neapolitan pizza.

Here is a quick video of me testing the new Lidl pizza oven. I am cooking a neapolitan pizza.
The temperature in the oven was 400 degrees and I cooked it for approximately 90 secs.
Every 30 seconds I had to remove the pizza and turn it on the peel because the oven is too small.
I cooked already 14 pizzas and I didn't notice anything wrong with the oven.

Thank you, finally someone with this oven who knows how to make pizza 🙏

[@svegaldde]

How much do your dough balls weigh? Gas on min when baking the pizza? Thank you!

[@SliceOfParadise_]

To be honest I don't know, about my dough ball weight because I never weight them. I can check next week when I'll do it again. But it's something around 250 I guess. Next week I'll tell you exactly how much is the weight. It was 400 degrees when I started to baked the pizza. If it was your question.

[@svegaldde]

Thank you! Did you lower the flame when putting the pizza in?

[@SliceOfParadise_]

Nope I didn't and I put the door back after baking. And I turned the pizza 2 times but this depends on your pizza, I mean if it has cooked well or not. Depending if you put the pizza too close to the flame or not. You have the check and not let more than 30 sec in one side in my opinion.

I got this oven and got good results also! Can't complain for the price.

[@PartyPooperXX]

Great video and a great-looking pizza. I know you got the oven in Lidl, but could you tell me the brand name/model? Not all items in Lidl are the same in all countries.

[@SliceOfParadise_]

Thank you, this is from grill meister brand. Here is the link from French lidl. You will find all information about the oven www.lidl.fr/p/grillmeister-four-a-pizza-a-gaz/p100374725

Brother, three suggestions: 1: try to add basil after cooking to avoid the burnt flavor and the release of essential oils that will cover the mozzarella flavor. 2: try to use a flour with a higher W strength (180-210W) for this type of oven because of how small it is, you can always make it soft by doing a 75-80% hydration (parts of water per flour). 3: try to crush your own tomatoes starting from fresh ones, trust me it will absolutely be worth it in a gas oven due to temperatures being lower than a wodden one.

[@SliceOfParadise_]

180 to 210 is a bit low. I use la napoletana from the brand Molino Dallagiovanna. It's 310W. Also 75 or 80% is too much for me, today I have cooked a pizza with 63% hydration and I liked it but maybe I will go up to 65%. Now I bake at 430 degrees FYI. Thank you for your suggestions tho

[@Ares0025]

​​@@SliceOfParadise_I am always using Caputo Cuoco flower with 63% hydration it's great canned tomatoes are completely ok whenever I used fresh tomatoes to make a sauce the taste was not really good the canned tomatoes were always better

[@SliceOfParadise_]

I have never tried fresh tomatoes. I think we need to precook them before? Not sure how to prepare them for tomato sauce, that's why I have never used them. I need to try some other caputo flour but they are very expensive in my shop (1€ to 1.5€ more per kilo compared to the one I use.)

[@Ares0025]

@@SliceOfParadise_ it's very unusual to make a pizza sauce with fresh tomatoes even famous pizza restaurants in Italy use canned tomatoes from what I ve seen I only used fresh tomatoes for pasta sauce and even there the canned ones were better if you want to try it you should cook the sauce maybe half an hour

[@danielescevola4855]

Well done ! I see borders are little burnt, are burners at max level ?

[@SliceOfParadise_]

Thank you, yes I think it was at max level. I'm still learning how to handle properly the oven. It's small and the pizza is getting very close to the flame.

[@Foxx____]

What type of gas is needed for this oven propane or butane? Because on the box they say butane but i have seen people saying propane.

[@SliceOfParadise_]

Me I have a mix of butane and propane in my gas bottle 😅😅 Many are using propane, I think both are possible. But I can't tell if it's 100% OK.

[@Foxx____]

@@SliceOfParadise_ Then i suppose both are good😂 thanks

[@irish_failed_guitarist]

Looks great!

[@SliceOfParadise_]

Thank you, yes it's a great oven for small budget. You can make great pizza inside 🙏

[@miquelmiralles-royo5504]

Very very nice pizza, congrats. What is the temperature you reach with this oven?? PD: Sorry, you said in the description, 90 secs at 400degrees. Super! You are a lucky one, im searching for this in our lidl, but now they are only selling oven wit pellets/wood, I think this with gas is much better. Thanks!

[@SliceOfParadise_]

Thank you It's more like 100 sec or even 110 sec to be honest. Ill post a video where I record the time and show the full process of cooking in this oven. Hope you will find one soon. Where are you from?

[@miquelmiralles-royo5504]

Less than 2 min its a professional timing pizza. Perfect.

[@FrancescoMineo-w6z]

Ottimo forno

[@SliceOfParadise_]

I agree 🙏 thank you for your comment

[@shuckylad]

What’s with the green shit?

[@SliceOfParadise_]

What's wrong with basil? It's an important ingredient on pizza
