    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.
