It's actually insane how much pizza oven technology has advanced in the last five years to the point where people like you and me, regular home cooks, can bang out incredible restaurant style dishes at home. Although one of these pizza ovens is going to be a fraction of the cost of an actual wood fired brick oven, it's still an investment no matter how you cut it. So the goal of today is to really see how far we can push a pizza oven. I'm going to be testing its limits but trying out seven different recipes, all of which are not pizza! Fun recipes like ribeye, honey roasted carrots, apple and oat crumble, and tandoori inspired chicken skewers! Click here to see the full video!
