Cooking Your Pizza:
As promised we are going to share our FAVORITE way to cook homemade pizza. Let us introduce you to the ultimate culinary companion: the Solo Stove Pi Prime Pizza oven. This outdoor pizza oven is the real deal, bringing the authentic taste of artisanal pizzerias right to your backyard.
The Solo Stove Pi Prime is a gas burning portable pizza oven. They also sell a wood burning pizza oven that gives a wood fired flavor to pizza so if that sounds more your style you can check that version out here.
Once we took our first bite of a pizza cooked in the Solo Stove Pi Prime our jaws hit the floor. We could really create gourmet pizza shop pizza in mere minutes in the comfort of our own backyard!
The Solo Stove Pi Prime pizza oven is really easy to use. Thanks to its innovative design, it heats up in mere minutes, reaching temperatures of up to 950°F (510°C) for rapid and even cooking. Say goodbye to long preheating times and hello to spontaneous pizza nights whenever the craving strikes. Plus no more heating up the whole house up by using the oven at high temps to make your pizza!
While the oven is heating up you can assemble your pizza on the peel. Make sure to dust with flour so the pizza has no trouble sliding into the oven when its time to cook! Choose from the above amazing pizza topping combinations or create your own. After the oven was preheated, we simply slid the pizza in the oven off of the bamboo peel. (Give your peel a wiggle to make sure the pizza is not sticking to it before trying to launch it into the oven. If it is sticking, add more flour underneath)
We cooked our pizzas at around 700-720 degrees. After you slide it in, wait about 30 seconds before you start rotating the pizza with the pizza turner. Then rotate the pizza a quarter turn every 15 seconds for about a minute and a half or until the pizza looks done. YES ITS THAT QUICK!
We also love that the Solo Stove Pi Prime is portable. Whether you're hosting a backyard pizza party with friends, camping in the wilderness, or tailgating, this compact oven weighing only 30 lbs can go wherever you go! The Solo Stove Pi Prime pizza oven simply connects to a propane tank just like a BBQ grill. Plus, its durable stainless steel construction means it can withstand the rigors of outdoor use without sacrificing performance.
But wait, there's more! The Solo Stove Pi Prime pizza oven isn't just limited to pizzas. You can also use it to cook a variety of dishes, from roasted vegetables to artisan bread and even desserts. It's a multitasking marvel that unlocks endless culinary possibilities, making it a must-have for any outdoor cooking enthusiast.
The Solo Stove also makes accessories for the Pi Pizza Oven. Must haves are the pizza peel, the pizza turner, and the protective cover. The peel and turner are sized appropriately for the Pi oven so it makes cooking a breeze and the protective cover adds some additional protection for your oven from the elements. Nice to haves are the silicone oven mat that sits on top of the oven creating an additional heat shield and protective cover so the oven won't get scratched if you rest utensils on top and the infrared thermometer that helps you tell the temperature inside the oven and on the pizza.
In summary, if you're serious about pizza – and let's be honest, who isn't? – the Solo Stove Pi pizza oven is a game-changer. With its rapid heating, portability, and versatility, it's the ultimate tool for elevating your pizza-making skills and impressing friends and family with gourmet creations. Trust us, once you experience the joy of cooking with the Solo Stove Pi, you'll never look back!
