Same, plus we’re still waiting for our original Cuisinart Convection Oven to crap out, so we can swap in the spare we bought on sale just before [last] Christmas…
So far the interior light has gotten wonky e.g., turning off and on randomly, but the heating elements and fan are still working seamlessly- defying all probability.
@werehatrack
Same, and, in addition, we just bought 2 aluminum 1/2 sheet baking pans from Nordic Ware that work amazingly well at baking the crusts just the way we like them.
@jefffoxx
Ironically, that’s almost identical to the back-up convection oven we have waiting “in the wings” to replace our current oven when it inevitably expires.
From my comment in June for the red version that was sold with accessories for $120:
“Got it when it was on in March and we use it at least once a week - my biggest complaint is that there’s not a readout to tell you what temperature it’s at. So if you want to do a thin crust at 700 then thick at 500 you’re just guessing.
Takes about 15 minutes to get to 500 but we can fit four 7" deep dish pizza tins in it at once – barely.
At 700 degrees max it’s not a spiffy as the outdoor Oona’s that get to 900… but I know me and there was no way we were going to cook outdoors often, esp with the mosquitoes the way they are!”
Per The Wirecutter: “The Cuisinart Indoor Pizza Oven didn’t perform well in our testing. Pizzas took about five to six minutes to cook, which yielded dry and crackery crusts, and the stone struggled to stay hot between bakes.”
OTOH, the oven they rated “best” costed $1000. So there 'ya go.
People tell me it’s cheaper bake my own pizza than to order them.
On one hand, as a household of one person, I’d have to eat a pizza at least daily to make that true by eating the ingredients before they spoil because it’s not possible to buy fresh vegetables in daily quantities here anymore. Everything is prepackaged in giant bags.
On the other hand, I wouldn’t mind an excuse to eat 3-4 pizzas a day.
welp… mine arrived today… looking like it was thrown off the back of the truck… packed into a well oversized shipping box, open that, manufacturers box ripped to shreds, and… a massive dent in the side of the oven itself!
I would like to assume this happened in transit, and fedex just re boxed it, and that ya’ll wouldn’t send it out like this…
@pakopako in a way… but they’ve already refunded me, and no need to send it back.
not sure I want to try and turn it on with that big 'ol dent in the side… the inside of the oven looks untouched… but maybe I’ll dissect it and see if a) i can pop the dent out, and b) if anything looks unsafe. remember, this thing can get up to 700F, i want to make sure the insulation is in place, and none of the electrical bits are unnecessarily in contact with the inner hot box…
I was buying this for the house my fiancee and I are in the middle of purchasing ( proposed Closing is 8/7!!), and i’d rather not burn it down right away…
I had the same shipping issues. I ordered two of these, one for myself and one as a birthday gift. They were shipped only in the original boxes with no extra packaging. The boxes were busted, the tape had been torn on the tops of both boxes, and I think items are missing.

Interested. Just paid $28 for a pizza with 1/2 pepperoni in NYC. Wish it was a little cheaper.
interesting! I’d be very curious to see it bake something in 5 minutes in less than 5 minutes
I can’t eat this. This isn’t snacks.
Meh, gimme cheap snacks.
My toaster oven has a rounded back and it cooks pizza just fine. Plan to hang on to my $100.
12" is too small. My husband and I are big fat Amurican pigs- we need everything soopersized.

I seem to get good enough results from my regular oven. Pass.

I am glad it is an indoor pizza oven. I don’trust the outdoor ones …
/showme Cuisinart pizza oven with legs with claws and sharp teeth is roaming the backyard of house of scared human.
@cfg83 Here’s the image you requested for “Cuisinart pizza oven with legs with claws and sharp teeth is roaming the backyard of house of sca…”
@mediocrebot Oh man, that pizza is so tempting. Danger Pizza!!!
I read this: “ Can it make a margherita: Yes, we’ve made this joke before, but sorry, it’s good, so we’re using it again”
Where’s the joke used again?
@user34767978
?”
The longstanding joke is
“Can it make a margarita
@user34767978 And here they’re referencing the margherita pizza (I believe)
Disappointed the item shown in the teaser email image is not the same thing as the actual item.

@PhysAssist I love that patience

patience vs mild OCD :-}

Use my Aldi “aisle of shame” pizza oven yesterday!

@brennyn
Ran a pizza parlor when I was in college. Ate pizza at least once a day pretty much every day for about 3 years. Still love it!
@brennyn @chienfou The perfect food. (That you can adulterate to something that is absolutely horrific for you.)

Woo hoo! Refund issued!
@earlyre That looks like an IRK more than a MEH.

@earlyre at least not until you insure it against accidental pizza fires. (And maybe wildfires at this rate.) Congrats all around though.
I had the same shipping issues. I ordered two of these, one for myself and one as a birthday gift. They were shipped only in the original boxes with no extra packaging. The boxes were busted, the tape had been torn on the tops of both boxes, and I think items are missing.
I certainly can give this as a gift.
