Itβs in my DNA to be a pizza fanatic (yes Iβm quarter Italian canβt you tell from my ghostly white olive skin?!) so when Breville asked me if Iβd like to get βhot & crispy with Pete Evansβ (their words not mine), I wasnβt going to say no.
What βhot and crispyβ turned out to mean was cooking pizza withΒ Brevilleβs Crispy Crust stone baked pizza oven. First, My Kitchen Rules judge Pete demonstrated, then we attempted to copy. All up we made two pizzas: a chilli prawn, then the more indulgent pear and frangipane.
Using the Crispy Crust we were able to cook our pizza at a whopping 350 degrees, meaning you could get the crispy crusts that are impossible to achieve in a regular household oven where the maximum temperature is in the 200s.
The Crispy Crust also features a viewing window, which allows you to monitor the pizza without opening the lid and losing heat. It also automatically adjusts the temperature of the oven, depending on your pizza base’s thickness.
The Crispy Crust is a 12-inch ceramic pizza stone that has dual heating elements, top and bottom.
