        Yeah but it’s the half that doesn’t need their instruction manual to tell them to not dry their cat in the microwave, I think it’s ok

          Dont know what that is in Celcius off the top of my head, BUT if its a wood fired Napolitano style pizza they may be fine at that temp. 800-900°F for like 2-3 minutes is 🤌

        I would be rather surprised to find an oven going to 400*C though, thats quite hot lol

        I’d say ovens here in EU usually go to 200-250 degrees.

          What oven only goes to 200C? I live in Canada (where we use C for everything except cooking, which we use F for) and pretty much everything I cook in the oven is at 218C or above. 200C isn’t even hot enough to bake frozen French fries properly without drying them out.

            Most common oven temperatures:

            325°F/160°C, 350°F/175°C, 375°F/190°C, 400°F/205°C, 425°F/220°C

            So functional range of temps for most baking is 160-220°C with 175°C being the most common for most standard dinner recipes. Every non-commercial oven I’ve ever used defaults to 350/175 unless you set it otherwise, and I’ve used a lot of ovens. Commercial ovens are a bit different, most don’t have a default or if they do they have memory built in to default to your last temp used, but in my experience the most common temp for commercial baking is more often 375/190.

            Though obviously individual recipes vary, that’s just averages across the many recipes I’ve made in both home kitchens and commercial kitchens. I’ve used 425/220 many, many times, as have I used 325/160 many, many times. I’ve also used outside that range but it’s far rarer. That’s mostly for specialized techniques or a very specific ingredient, or slow cooking and broiling obviously.

              My oven goes to 500F/260C. The previous one I had went to 550F/288C, but it didn’t have convection (unlike my current one).

              I actually use 500/260 on my oven quite frequently, using the “convection roast” feature. It’s excellent for roasting veggies and reheating pizza!

            Cheap ones and airfryers. Normal cooking temperatures are 170-200, I only go above that for pizzas. No idea what you do with 218, I would only expect burnt ousides and gooey uncooked insides.

              Never cook frozen French fries or fish sticks or chicken fingers in your oven? They pretty much always recommend 450F/232C. Lower temps don’t give you enough crisping/browning without drying out the interior.

            Yea, but they usually lock the hatch during the cycle and I don’t think any pizza needs 500’C for a couple of hours 😅

              Jeff Varasano explains how you can defeat the lock on your self clean oven and gain the ability to use that high temperature for baking pizza. He got so good at baking pizza this way that he opened his own pizza restaurant! He also wrote a book on speedcubing. Interesting guy!

          My small pizza oven goes to 400C. Everything else is not enough for good pizza. Cooking time for a pizza is 2 to 3 minutes. With that I’ll get a nice leopard pattern on the dough.

          My household oven goes up to 300C but just because it supports pyrolysis. (Best thing, I bought it used from Kleinanzeigen for Eur 50 after about a year of searching for a pyrolysis oven that was sold for cheap). Running Pyrolysis about 4 times a year, so the cost is reasonable but the oven still is CLEAN.

            It’s a good thing you only spent 50 euros on your pyrolysis oven. I used to use that feature on my old oven until it was destroyed by it.

            I believe the excessive heat from the cleaning cycle rapidly accelerates the ageing of the electronic components on the oven’s main circuit board. Electrolytic capacitors in particular are susceptible to failure from heat exposure.

      My wife from Mexico once decided she’d make a cake (here in Los Angeles). After several hours she couldn’t figure out why nothing was cooking. It turned out, she was cooking at ~200°F if I remember correctly.
