HawkinsDiecast 30 cm Nonstick Pizza Maker and Cake Baker with Glass Lid, Gas Oven, Pizza Oven Toaster Griller Tandoor Barbecue, Cake Baking Pan, Red (PIZZA)

This is not a replacement for a regular electric oven, OTG etc. This comes under the category of stove top gas ovens like the omnia, or wonderchef gas oven. So keep that in mind before ordering.Also, keep in mind that unlike an electric stove there is no thermostat to control the temperature. This has to be done by observing the baking or cooking and the temperature regulation is to be done by reducing or increasing the gas flame, just like you would do when cooking with a pot or pan. There is really no rocket science involved in understanding the concept, if you know how to cook in a kadhai on a gas stove. It's just common sense.Excellent stove top oven for a family of 3 to 5.The oven is made from 4 to 5 mm thick material that gets VERH HOT and remains VERY HOT for long time even after the stove has been switched off. I have checked the internal temperature with two different oven thermometers placed inside the baking dish for about 30 mins and the temperature inside stays steady between 125 degrees Celsius upto 180 degrees Celsius. Baking cakes, Pizza and even roasting chicken legs in it are quite easy to do, because of the thick glass cover that traps the heat inside yet allows one to visually see the food getting cooked.I highly recommend this oven to all who wish to buy a stove top gas oven.BUT ALSO BEWARE: MOST OF US ARE USED TO PLASTIC OR BACKLITE HANDLES THAT REMAIN COOL TO TOUCH. I ABSENTMINDEDLY TOUCHED THE HANDLES AFTER THE COOKING WAS DONE AND BURNT MY FINGERTIPS.THIS WAS MY MISTAKE AND NOT THAT OF THE PRODUCT.Edited on 23/11/23: Today I baked makhaniya biscuits (jeera butter biscuit). They turned out very nice. Attached are the photos and videos of the same.

Firstly this product doesn't depend upon electricity. So no issues with power cuts. Secondly, personally I find it convenient to work with gas than with electronics.If you can understand and manipulate the heat of your gas stove as per the recipe, this is especially for you.

Very new concept and useful 😄

Bought this to bypass electrical wiring problems that I was having in my kitchen, that will take a long time to repair.Follow the recipe book provided along with it and the cakes should turn out okay, as these recipes are optimised to make up for the unimpressive heat distribution found inside the pizza maker.Temperature control is shady, bottom of everything will burn more often than not. The top is glass, so expect stuff to be undercooked from the top.But do not experiment with recipes like you would in a normal electric OTG! For example, my foolproof banana bread recipe came out dense because this product cannot deal with heavy batter, denser grain based batter or recipes that are not made especially for light fluffy cakes. The product relies more on leavening and raising agents than good old fashioned heating.I wish I had settled for a simple, low tech setup to bake cakes- a deep Kadai with grill stand in it. This setup can do everything this product does, in a more reliable way, without the temperature control hassle :/It’s irritating how it does nothing else. Since the bottom has holes to let in the flames you can’t do anything else with it.Cookies turn out really good, but again, you can use the aforementioned jugaad for it without throwing your money away !

Great product,
