Black & Decker gets into the pizza oven game
Spectrum Brands is unleashing a new pizza oven bearing the Black & Decker brand at this year's International Home + Housewares Show in Chicago.
The 5 Minute Pizza Oven and Snack Maker uses high heat to crisp and cook pizza quickly while sealing in moisture.
The oven is capable of preheating and cooking 2 to 3 pizzas in the time it takes to preheat a conventional oven, the company said.
Spectrum Brands is unleashing a new pizza oven bearing the Black & Decker brand at this year's International Home + Housewares Show in Chicago.
The 5 Minute Pizza Oven and Snack Maker uses high heat to crisp and cook pizza quickly while sealing in moisture.
The oven is capable of preheating and cooking 2 to 3 pizzas in the time it takes to preheat a conventional oven, the company said.
“There are two major issues with cooking pizzas at home,” said Karen Baer, director of home appliances product marketing for Spectrum Brands. “The first is the time it takes to preheat a standard oven and the second is taste. While frozen pizzas can be a convenient dinner option, many times they don’t taste as good as pizzas from restaurants.”
Its capacity is large enough for a 12" pizza, and it also features a separate snack setting for heating frozen snacks, as well as a baking function for cookies.
It also features a ceramic coated tray that helps crisp crusts like a pizza stone.
“With the Black+Decker 5 Minute Pizza Oven and Snack Maker, we set out to create a product that cooked a better pizza similar to those traditional Italian pizzeria ovens and did it faster,” Baer said. “We focused on pizza, because who doesn’t love pizza, and now more than ever people are choosing to make their own at home. With the 5 Minute Pizza Oven and Snack Maker, they can now cook restaurant-quality pizza from frozen or fresh at home in less time.”
At the Home + Housewares show, where Spectrum and Black & Decker will be unveiling the oven, Top Chef alum and owner of Good Stuff Eatery, Spike Mendelsohn, will be in attendance. Mendelsohn will be demonstrating Pizza Oven-friendly recipes at the Spectrum Brands booth each day.
