Presto 03434 Pizzaz Plus Rotating Oven - 12-Inch, Countertop Pizza Oven, Nonstick Tray, Top and Bottom Heating Elements, Easy to Clean, Green/Gold

I initially ordered one of these for a relative who entertains a lot, and thought it would come in handy for them. I then later thought about it, and realized this *might* be handy for me/my family too. So...of course, I had to order one.I really had minimal expectations for this product. I knew it obviously cooked pizzas and possibly other little frozen items. I had no idea that I would literally use it all the time. Every day.I have 2 kids who love pizza and enjoy snacks like mozzarella sticks, fish sticks, and other frozen food items that you might typically throw in an oven when you are crunched for time. These are obvious items that can be used easily on this product, and it certainly delivers. It is incredibly simple to use. You plug it in, throw whatever you want to cook on it, and set the timer. You don't waste time preheating. There is no heat adjustment, but it cooks it perfectly. It rotates while cooking, and my kids get a kick out of watching it cook right in front of them. It cooks pizza (even the cheapie junk ones) into perfection. I have made countless homemade pizzas and it makes them perfect every time. Reheating your pizza on it refreshes it to its former glory. Once the timer is done, it stops heating the product (but simply keeps rotating), so you don't burn your food if you get distracted for a minute or 2.What I was not counting on is all the other items we would end up cooking on it. I enjoy making homemade cookies and cinnamon rolls from scratch with my kids, and (so long as they are not large or rise too tall) we are able to cook those with ease, too. I am a vegetarian (mostly vegan), and I can cook my veggie patties and other veggie products on it, and they don't come out soggy like they do sometimes in a microwave. You can add things to your food while it is cooking, and you can see for yourself whether it is done or not (or burnt). Leftovers from a restaurant reheat perfectly on it, too. No more nuking food with a microwave.The cons to this product: You have to watch to make sure you aren't cooking something too tall or close to the heating element (think dough that rises up too high, etc). When I make cookies, biscuits, cinnamon rolls, or anything doughy on it, I make them small or squash them down a little so they don't rise too high.Another con is that if you have a super large pizza, this won't accommodate it. The circular pan thingy it cooks on will cook a standard large pizza (like standard frozen pizza size), but no larger. That said, the product would probably take up too much space if it were any bigger, which leads me to my next con...yes, it is a little bulky if you do not have space for it.While you can certainly burn yourself on it, as with anything, you have to use a little common sense and keep it out of reach from little hands. That said, it is not as drastic of heat and the risk of harming yourself should you touch it is MUCH less than if you were messing with an oven. I have used this product every day (unless we are out of town) for about 15 months straight, and with minimal care, I can't recall a time that I burned myself, and I rarely have to wear oven mitts since I can just grab a spatula and get it off easily onto a plate straight from the pan. My kids have never burned themselves on it either. I always supervise them if they want to add something on whatever we are cooking (which they love to participate in), and they know to be careful. I always worry with an oven, but with a little caution, I really don't worry much with this item. I can touch my finger quickly on the pan while it is rotating and not hurt myself (as long as I pull my finger off right away). Could I do that with an oven and not hurt myself? Uh, no.Cleaning it is a breeze, too. Overall, we love it so much that our microwave hardly ever gets used and our oven is reserved for larger items, like casseroles and other larger home-cooked items.I would recommend this for anyone and everyone, and not just for the pizza lover. It is not expensive, and I would imagine this would be a great gift for the average college student.

My daughter & son in law has had one of these Pizzazz pizza machines for years. I loved there's and have been considering getting one for a very long time. With the new staying at home with this INSANE virus , I've been making all sorts of things I don't usually make . For example pizza dough, calzones, tarts, and my husband stocked up on the cheap frozen pizzas. So after the 5th or 6th frozen pizza I said to my husband , we really should cave and get one of those Presto Pizzazz Plus.... I was pleasantly surprised when it was sitting inside my back gate as I didn't realize he ACTUALLY purchased one. Here is what I can say about this one of a kind gadget:1. It is the easiest thing to set up! Open box, wash pan, put pan on the spindle( it may seem wobbly but it's fine)2. Place a frozen pizza on pan and turn it on to the correct setting. The little pamphlet that comes with the machine gives guidelines for cooking ) PRESTO, Pizza turns out PERFECTLY every single time. It doesn't matter how cheap the pizza is or if you add your own toppings. It somehow turns a cheap $3.00 pizza into a fairly decent pizza( I mean it cannot ever take the place of a New York slice , let's face it NOTHING CAN!) That said, it cooks evenly, and makes a frozen pizza taste better by 1000%! Unless you own a pizza oven this is the next best thing.( I'm just a customer, no one asked me to review this nor has anyone paid me( I should be so lucky)3: One of the things I really love about this incredible gadget is that you can make many things, I love that i can make an open faces sandwich put a slice of cheese on top and watch the magic come alive in front of my eyes.... there are a ton of things you can cook using the Pizzazz.... fish sticks, frozen already cooked things, wings, little pastries.Lastly, clean up is a breeze, hot water a dab of soap rinse AND DRY IT OFF! If you clean it properly you can have this for years. It does come with a lifetime warranty, but I cannot imagine needing it.It does take up a bit of counter space if you leave it out. I saved the box so I can put it away when not using it safelyAll in all I just wanted to say if you're looking for a way to cook frozen pizzas and have them taste like a decent food BUY IT!If your wanting to have a gadget that is EASY & FUN to use and truly satisfying to use , I'm telling you just give this thing a try! I think it is just an AMAZING gadget. Worth every penny!I only write reviews when I'm so pleased with an item and figure others would gain important insight. 100% honest reviews. 100% always. If I don't like a product I would say why I didn't like it, or I just don't say anything and just move on.....~ a highly satisfied Bird.

I absolutely love this product. I used this when I was younger and then I just had to order another when i moved out. Cook time with the heat level/burn rate were incredible and had no issues whatsoever. The capacity can fit a large pizza or a lot of smaller items you would normally throw in an air fryer. Great value for the money and would highly recommend!

I went a few years without a working oven or stove in my house and it wàs not too big a loss because I am not much of a cook and was perfectly content to using the microwave to heat up my food. However, there are just some foods that can't be microwaved and my most favorite is frozen pizza. Over the years, the variety and quality of frozen pizza has gone way up and some grocery store pizzas taste better, are cheaper and healthier than restaurant style. However, all of these pizzas have one thing in common. They demand the use of an oven to bake, just not for the benefit of taste, but for food safety reasons as well. Instead of buying a full blown oven and having the hassle of hooking it up, plus the headache of electricity bills, I opted for this Presto oven. For my very first oven baked pizza, I bought the Walmart Philly and cheese. I read the directions and it was simple to use. And easy. The while room started to smell heavenly of a pizza parlor that I used to work at. It worked great, toasting the pizza to my discretion and the size is perfect. I even saved some pizza for breakfast and it still tasted great! If you're a basic, non hassle type of eater, then this is perfect. It's easy to clean too. Be careful not to burn yourself though when pulling off the rotating pan! It's a lifesaver though, I can bake my pizzas again and probably a lot more as well!
