Astagfirallah. But the infidel's temptation is strong and it is sweet (er...salty).

Just watching a piece on the news about Brits and their obesity. These people have got to be the most clueless, tasteless, impoverished people in the world when it comes to topic of food. Let them have their sausages :face:

This looks wonderful. I've been thinking of the Ooni for a while now - do you need loads of space?

They're really good. The heat output is probably marginally less than a traditional brick built oven, which my bro has. But it's negligible and the brick ovens take a good hour to get up to the required temp, where as the Ooni takes about 15 minutes. Plus the Ooni is fairly compact - photo below - and the feet fold away, etc so you could take it on holiday with you if you were going camping.

I want to see what Taz eats in a typical week.

It's always been a bit of a tribal affair since I've had to fend for myself but particularly now with the COVID effects on my senses pushing me ever further away from acceptable social norms.

1pm - Don's Trademark Greek Yoghurt Special Bowl (see previous conversations for details)

8pm - Enough pasta to feed a family of 4.

9pm - Fruit plate equivalent to what must be about 10 fruit portions.

Ultimately, the fundamental theory is simple; keep it natural. Anything with an ingredient a child can't identify can be regarded as toxic. I think my chilli sauces with their Xanthan Gums and what not are the only notable exception but even they're being phased out. Lemon juice and herbs for flavouring.

It's less cultured than a stag-do in Benidorm and I'm fully aware the world isn't ready for it yet but let me tell you, I'm OD-ing off the endorphin hit like it's a Big Mac meal and the energy and after-effects of it all is not up for debate. L337 bodyhacking.

A normal oven cannot get to the high temperatures (circa 450c) that a pizza oven will. Plus you don't get the woodfire flavour.

I have done them in the oven before and they're ok, but nowhere near as good.

I'm sure they're good and all, but those pizza ovens always look a right faff to me. Small pizzas, having them probably stick to the peel as you try to put them in, one at a time cooking even if it's rapid. No thanks. A conventional oven dialled up to 11 still makes a good pizza and can be done indoors.

We make pizzas in the home oven quite a bit. Mate has just bought a pizza oven second hand off one of the companies that does pizzas at food festivals and stuff. We went round for one the other night and there's really no contest, they are so much better.

I don't doubt it but where is this commercial oven living, how easy/affordable is it to run and, if it's outside, what do you do when you want a pizza during the 11 months of the year it's cold and raining?

Sure, build your house around one if you get the chance, but fuck having to build a(nother) kitchen outside.

Dquincy
28-07-2020, 12:56 PM
Just 1 month where it's acceptable to cook outside? :saywhat: Madness.

It takes about 60 seconds to cook a pizza once the pizza oven is upto temperature. No great hardship really.

I must admit, I'd need some convincing on the merits of spending hundreds of pounds on a pizza oven to sit outside in the English rain for most of the year while I have a perfectly functioning oven in the kitchen already.

Luca

Cooking pizza at 450-500c makes a world of difference vs. a conventional oven. Where I’m waffling a bit is along the lines of the first part of Yev’s post. Am I going to want to eat enough pizza to justify the price, given Canada’s allotment of 3 weeks of summer?

Ah, fuck, the answer is probably yes.

Dquincy is the opening big enough to fit a pan or cast-iron skillet? If it’s multi-purpose I could be further tempted.

Cooking it is the wrong approach. Fresh, skinless, crushed tomatoes from a jar/can is the right approach.

niko_cee
28-07-2020, 06:36 PM
Tried that, watery as fuck. What process do you have to put them through to remove the excess moisture? I want a smooth, thick(ish) sauce. Even draining them of what they are in and mushing them up doesn't really seem to work (and often the run off ends up being about the same consistency as the mushed stuff :cab: ).

These are the tomatoes I have been using (I'll spoiler it as the image is bigger than the can):

Can't you strain the tomatoes?

Giggles
28-07-2020, 06:43 PM
They’re plum aren’t they?

Either way though, blitz them.

Luca
28-07-2020, 06:51 PM
Yeah, if they're the pelati (full tomatoes in liquid), blitzing them should be good. You also might be overestimating the amount of sauce you need as well - a half cup is plenty for a normal sized pizza.

If you truly want a thicker sauce, cook the blitzed mixture down over medium-low heat for 30m-1h - this will remove some of the moisture.

Spikey M
28-07-2020, 06:57 PM
Tomato. Puree.

You could fit a pan in it, just not a large one. But there are plenty of non-pizza recipes which the Ooni can do such, such as lamb cutlets, steaks, etc. But anything that needs cooking time over say 10 mins, I'd recommend getting the gas appliance.

I mean, I’m just referencing the brand he’s familiar with and what it’s likely to say on the tin.

28-07-2020, 08:08 PM
I feel using pre-made passata is defeatist.

Or would that be more authentic? :henn0rz:

Luca
28-07-2020, 08:23 PM
Nah, authentically the sauce is never cooked, but in a pinch passata works just fine and gets at the consistency you’re after.

But like I said, with crushed tomatoes you probably just want to use less than you think you need. Doesn’t need to be overflowing. 100-120g (half a cup) should do. If you’re blitzing the pelati I’d put the whole tomatoes in and about 1/3 of the liquid, then use the rest of the liquid to adjust the consistency vs. blitzing the whole thing at once.

I bought a big tin of San Marzano tomatoes in juice, blited the whole tin with some salt and basil and froze it into portions. It's great.

Yes, tomato puree is MUCH more concentrated.

Mine is. Puree is concentrated tomato sauce, Passata is plain tomato sauce.

Yeah so puree as a pizza sauce is mental and Giggles is wrong about "a different word for everything".

It's fine. You just use a light covering. In most recipes I've seen they just mix it with olive oil.

Luca
28-07-2020, 08:46 PM
Passata is different from puree, no?

Eh, it depends on where you are. Usually they're interchangeable, but some people call tomato paste (highly concentrated) "puree," and that's obviously a different thing.

Giggles
28-07-2020, 08:50 PM

I stick with Morrison’s spicy chicken pizza.

£2 and it’s great. Recently discovered if you add a bit of chorizo to the top of it, you’ve evolved into charizard and smash the elite 4.

Had a large deep pan ASDA one with the 6 most spicy toppings and chilli oil to finish the other night. Flew a bit too close to the sun with that and rode the ring of fire for a good 12 hours after.

We're trying to give the take aways a bit of a break at the moment, but also trying to keep the weekends interesting. Charles Bigham's ready meals are top quality. We had his Tikka Masala last week and his Thai Curry tonight. The Masala was better (Take away quality) but the Thai was pretty great too. I think we're going to work our way through them all.

I found a slimming world tikka masala sauce in a tub in the back of the freezer the other day. I’d say it’s there years, would have came from Iceland I think, but it was surprisingly nice.

They're great, especially the Tikka Masala which is seriously creamy.

M&S pizzas are truly pathetic. No wonder they're throwing all manner of sides in the deal.

They used to do dirty fries with them that saved the day, but they've decided to chuck a tomato sauce all over them now which kills any hope of crispy chip, bacon or cheese. The dickheads.

The main problem we had with the pizza it's self is the crust : pizza ratio is an absolute mess. It's not a crust if it's half the pizza.

I'm getting angry just thinking about it. Shaking.

Still a regular ASDA pizza fan, even though my local doesn't do it so I have to drive to Chorley. I can't believe people pick the pre-made stuff instead of getting one made up fresh.

There must be a good reason you've not ostracised them, but you should probably do it anyway. As if going to Shoebury wasn't bad enough without throwing overcooked beef and undercooked potatoes into the mix.

I had one of the new Franco Manca supermarket pizzas, and it wasn't particularly great for £4.50. And that was with the Tesco Clubcard. They wanted £5.70 otherwise and lol mate no. My only previous experience of the company was in Brighton the day the Chinese first got everything shut down, so I had to eat it in the street out of the box like a cretin, and that was better.

At risk of being a bit of a basic bitch, salted caramel was an on trend thing which is actually good and has cemented it's place in the world IMO.
