The Cuisinart propane outdoor pizza oven can turn anyone into a pizza-making master. This thoughtfully designed and easy-to-use pizza oven eliminates the guesswork of cooking pizzas. The oven includes a 13-inch round cordierite pizza stone to create perfectly cooked crusts by distributing and retaining heat evenly across the surface. The 15,000 BTU burner heats the stone from the bottom, allowing the heat to flow evenly around the stone, preventing hot spots and burning that can ruin your pizza. The pizza preset temperature zone lets you dial the perfect cooking temperature easily. Simply preheat the oven on high, and once the lid thermometer reaches the PIZZA zone, turn the knob to the corresponding setting on the dial, and you're ready to cook. This helps to match the oven temperature with the stone temperature, ensuring your pizza cooks evenly on the top and bottom. The dual-hinged lid is a patent pending design with a front-access pizza door to easily add and remove your masterpiece with minimal heat loss. When you're done cooking pizzas, flip the lid open for easy, full-access cleaning inside the oven. The domed lid is double walled for better insulation, allowing for faster preheating and a cooking time of 4 to 6 minutes. With Cuisinart, the key to pizza perfection in your own backyard awaits!
