Using this for over 8 years now. Made everything from pizza, breadsticks, garlic bread, fries, nuggets, quesadillas etc. NEVER once burned a thing, and you can literally plug it in right at yourfeet or on the coffee table. Easily my favorite cooking invention since the microwave. Only drawback is that I can't cook anything taller than a chicken leg. Bought my brother one years ago and both of ours still work perfectly. 10/10.
@@DannyboyProductions0 No, but you wouldn't want to. Weird as it sounds, it cooks equal time whether it's 1 or 4 sandwiches. The heat's intense enough that just a few passes per minute are equal to sitting in a 400° oven for a minute. Damn things like magic. If something says 15 minutes in the oven, then that's where I set this. If 350 for 15, I set it at 12 and just watch it.
Best feature for me is its portability. My kids and I plug it in by the couch so there's no pausing a movie or game. Another is removing things as they reach your liking where your kid wants crisper garlic bread for instance. And NOT recommended, but taking off the pan can be done with just a few napkins in each hand in under a second.
James was wrong about unplugging it in a way. I never unplug mine because I never need to. I store the pan with other pans so it takes up a smaller space on the shelf. Not a product out there I'd recommend higher. For singles I'd give it an 11/10. Like it better than my Foreman Grill even.
I'm on my third one of these in the last 17 years. I wear them out, not because they're cheaply made, but because they get used at least 200 days every year. this makes any size pizza that will fit, quicker, and better than ANY OTHER OVEN, PERIOD. the only drawback is it won't fit large pizzas or square ones. but if it fits, it's the best. especially for rising crust. stuffed crust is great. it's fast, cheap to run, and makes even cheap pizzas taste better than in the oven. plus it reheats pizza better than any other method. we have learned to use it to cook almost anything over these many years. simply the best invention for the money I have ever purchased in my entire life, bar none.
I bought one of these as an "extra" Christmas present for my then wife. When she opened it, her disappointment was mirrored by my step daughters look of disdain - they had seen it demo'd in the mall and thought it was a piece of junk! (Primary present was diamond earrings, so she wasn't upset for too long!) Following that, she tried it out, and suffice to say we had home-made pizza for years afterwards, all perfectly cooked, and the smell of cooking pizza is amazing!!
@@christopherpape4823 I'm talking 20 years ago when I bought it, but essentially you can cook a frozen pizza, or even make your own, for a fraction of what it would cost to heat a conventional oven up to the required temperature. Add to that that the smells wafting through the room make your mouth water. We loved it, as cheesy as it looks it does a fantastic job!
Even 3 years later it's still not a good idea to get women kitchen appliances as presents. It is just about as validating and appreciative as half a role of toilet paper.
@@charisma-hornum-fries But what if she likes cooking?...I'm getting my major in culinary arts and would love if my family gifted me kitchen appliances lol.
I'm a Chef by profession and people always insist on buying me kitchen gadgets for all gifts. I usually have it and don't need anymore. That being said when my kids were little maybe 9 & 10, they saw this at a store shopping with my mother and wanted to buy this for me as a Christmas gift. When I opened it of course I was very greatful that they picked it out on their own & for the gift itself. I couldn't conceive that this thing would work adequately at all. The next day we went and bought several different frozen pizzas and some refrigerated pizzas. This thing cooked EVERY PIZZA PERFECTLY. No matter the thickness, ingredients or refrigerated and frozen. In the regular oven you have to watch every pizza, every brand or it burns or you have to turn to get it to cook evenly, etc. * I have had this now going strong for 13 years and it's by far the best piece of equipment for cooking refrigerated & frozen pizzas of ALL kinds. Fresh handmade as well. You can't beat it. It also cooks many other things but I can't count how many pizzas this thing cooked in the last 13 years and not 1 disappointment.
@@9999plato I think it's a case by case basis. Of course it would be more valuable to the person who wants to save time by not pre-heating the oven, dorm room living, or (like in my family) the mom who doesn't cook dinner on Fridays so the kids have to cook for themselves. It's not a replacement for an oven but simply a quality of life type of machinery.
My dad eats a ton of frozen pizza for some reason. I had bought him the version of this that was out about 10 years ago and he adored it, he liked not heating up the entire oven just for a pizza
I also had the original. It took a great deal of practice to master the tray but I was very pleased. Packaged store pizza seemed to work better than homemade. But, to be honest, I tend to do very thick with toppings.
Lived in a house with 4 other guys for a summer during college and this little gadget was a staple, used every day and everything was way easier than getting the gas oven going. I used to wake up and see 6 poptarts with butter rotating on that thing while people got ready for school/work and then got home and saw pizza damn near every night.
We had one of these about 8 years ago, we got rid of everything when we moved. I have missed ours!! This is one the most convenient counter top products. Warms up many types of food, keeps things crispy when reheating also.. You are making me want to run out and buy another one!!!!
I love mine. Just to comment on your "cons": 1. The tray continues to spin after the timer dings so that you dont have one edge of the pizza that gets stuck under the residual heat from the heating elements and burns. It continues to rotate to keep the entire tray warm. 2. If you insert the tray all the way to the back, then lower it, then pull it forward, it grabs the metal lip below and aligns the tray perfect.
I’ve owned several of these over the years. Weirdly enough almost never made pizza on them. But they worked well. The reason I’ve had so many of them is because we wore them out from use.
Going on 5+ years with my Pizzazz and love it. Initially I was concerned it would waste electricity heating up my kitchen, but it turns out using a regular oven heats up the kitchen even more. Another advantage is no preheating is needed. That saves you 10 minutes over a regular oven!!
A great thing about cooking with the Pizzazz Plus is you see the food cooking. You can just look across the room and see "oh tater tots are done" or "pizza could go a tad longer to get cheese golden".
Cant use an oven for pizza after using this. Idk what the hell it is but pizza comes out way better. But in the summer it's back to grilling everything
@@KraljHD I didn't ask you why first off. Secondly I have a pizza stone. Generally I grill pizza I make. I was referring to frozen pizzas. Odd random video to get all uppity about.
WARNING - DO NOT EVER USE THE PIZZA PIZZAZZ TO COOK HAMBURGER PATTIES!!!!! The grease from the hamburger splatters on to the upper heating coils and then it catches on fire and the fan blows the fire outward in every direction, to the front and the sides, turning the Pizza Pizzazz into a huge blowtorch.
umm... and your telling me NOT to do this? Then why did you use such awesome description of what happens?.. "heads for the store to get Presto Pizzazz cooker and hamburger patties" ...........
Wow! Haha! We have all exectued ideas that later sounded terrible from the start. You live you learn. This one brought me back to some of my amazing missteps! 😆
I first got one of these around 2001. My mom and sister got it for me for Christmas, I thought it was the stupidest thing when I opened the box and figured I’d never use it ever. Anyway, the year is now 2024 and I still own one. Cooks pizza great, chicken nuggets / strips / popcorn chicken, that is my primary use for it and it's so easy to keep an eye on how "done" I want the food. It typically cooks a frozen pizza in the time a regular oven finishes preheating (or close). It’s a great design and works well. I’ve had a couple get broken over the years, knocked over and the plastic busted which I glued back together, a relative leaned on one and busted the tray pivot, etc., but otherwise usually get 10 year or more out of them (repaired the damage and they kept on going). Have even made some fresh home made style pizzas, including french bread pizzas, but you do have to be very mindful of the height and not let anything too close to the top element.
I have one. It’s my 2nd, as I used my old one a LOT. 5 of us in this house, and making pizza was always a lot of food. Plus, i could oven some and pizzazz the others. Makes great homemade pizza, too.
I've had one of those and it only lasted me 2 and a half years and if that pizza tray gets knocked off the thing that holds it and turns will bend and you cant fix it and you cant put too much extra topping on your pizza either cause it'll burn into the heat light.
I’ve been making pizzas with a Pizzazz since I was a kid. I remember my dad bringing one home from an auction he got it from. I really loved using that device. I even got my own for Christmas when I first moved out of my parents’ house. I totally recommend owning one.
@@Biggest_Superhuman you'd probably like the Pizzazz too. a lot of unhealthy foods turn out really good on this thing. Pretty much anything with lots of fat and carbs cooks up wonderfully
@@adam100a8 We went to an auction that was mostly police cars and at the end they auction off lots of other stuff. I could totally see this in an auction.
I'm a year late to this party, but since UA-cam recommended it ... I've had one of these for about 5 years and I use the hell out of it. It's great. When it breaks, I'll order another one the same day. Can't recommend highly enough.
I've been debating on buying this for a long time, thank you so much for doing real world tests! Keep doing what you're doing, really like your videos.
@Marius Olsen This is for people that don't want to heat the house up when it is hot outside and air conditioning is on. Why work over your aIr conditioner.
I had one of these back in like 2007 and it was one my two essential kitchen appliances, next to the George Foreman grill. Perfectly cooked pizza, and great for reheating to nice and crispy as well. And for easier cleaning, just slap a bit of foil over the turn table
I saw this and I instantly had to come comment on how amazing these things are.. I’ve had one for the last 10+ years and it’s the best thing ever. You can almost literally cook anything on it. And there’s nothing better than a 12 minute Jacks pepperoni pizza! Buy one, you won’t regret it!
I've bought it a month ago..and I love it! I've made everything from pizza to bread to wings (even if in the instructions they say not too!).. I had many doubts about this oven,but boy it did impress me.. In the pro,add it consumes much less energy than your oven or any other gadgets you may own (and i own a lot of them).. A LITTLE ADVISE : don't thing you have to see your pizza,bread or sandwiches crust brown or super dark to consider it done! In fact,quite the opposite! Crusts are crunchy and tasty even if they look quite white still,so check them and just follow the time instructions,they are pretty good.. Believe me,you will love it!
Love that my kids could just take off their garlic bread as it got to their liking instead of repeatedly opening the oven and taking them out multiple times when they were little. My daughter's favorite new thing to make is quesadillas now. 2 big ones fit perfectly.
@@Doomfullord Air fryers are too cumbersome. And the clean up..... I have both, and air fryer is too much work! This Pizzaz is a simple, You can leave it on the counter (without the plate) and its ready to go in seconds.
I haven't cooked a pizza in the over in years ...love my pizzazz...I would recommend it to everyone....got mine as gift from my beloved grandma a few years ago she always gave the coolest gifts for Christmas!!! Pretty much any fried food comes out crispy and delicious
I Am also impressed Plus because of the lower wattage ( lower than an Oven ) It would be perfect for those with solar panels ! NO you place taquitos like the spokes on a bicycle tire.
I had 3 of these ovens the past 25 years. When my oldest child (34yrs old now) we used to have sleep overs with her friends, I would have 3 of these ovens cooking pizza, burritos, all kinds of food all night long. The kids would make custom pizzas "On Demand" , the cool thing you can do with this oven unlike your conventional oven, you can add ingredients as it cooks, no worries about opening a HOT oven. Now in 2021, I still have ONE left. Amazing product. Also great to use while camping, just use your Generator and plug this in. Hey, use at a tail-gate too. I`m going to buy another one again.
Connor Kenway homemade dough cooks perfectly on this thing. I let the dough spin and bubble a little and then pull it off and add toppings and throw it back on. I love my pizzazz and make all my pizzas from scratch! This is my favorite kitchen gadget!
@@Felisargyle This thing is surprisingly one of those weird kitchen gadgets that's worth having especially if you don't have a room for a normal oven. My housemate was given one for Christmas last year and it's got a permanent spot on our counter. We have people over pretty much every weekend for games and it's been used for most of them.
When you have trouble putting the tray on at 6:53 you don't need to look under it to line up the peg. Hook the tray over the two pegs at the back of the unit, then drop the front of the tray down. It will drop onto the peg without any hassle.
Heck, since they're par-cooked anyway, I would think you could load up the tray side by side, space them apart by maybe 1/2 inch. They're not going to spread out.
I like the idea you are doing this because it may not be brand new but I had no idea about it! Can you do some more popular ones that you find? I enjoy any video upload from you honestly.
Talking bout real TAQUITOS, homemade tacos dorados, o flautas de res, cause that shit it's similar to a Mexican food called flauta de res, so yeah it's culture
Putting the tray on is easy once you get the hang of it. Follow the instructions and tilt the tray, put the underside of the edge of it against the back of the burner coil and it should drop into place.
Best product for a college kid! I make pizza, chicken nuggets, taquitos, fries, hot dogs, pizza rolls, and even cinnamon rolls on mine! And to heck with cleaning it, that takes the baked in flavor away!
@@JellyDoesZombies 2 different processes but they are VERY similar end products. For some reason the pizzazz makes shit super crispy. Wonderful gadget.
Um no. They are not even close to the same products. An air fryer is really a mini convection oven that can cook almost anything that isnt liquid. It can cook liquid but you have to use cans or ramikans. They both have their place for simplicity but are very diff products.
That or if you're into DIY projects, it would be fairly easy to buy a switch and find an area with empty space inside to add the switch to the device itself.
You dont want to unplug and stop the tray while the element is still hot. It spins continuously to keep from burning. Whatever is under that element whether its food or just the pan will scorch if it doesnt continue spinning. When its cool, unplug it or remove the pan when youre done cooking
I feel really really stupid saying this, but I’ve had this for about 5 years and never once have I thought of using it for something other than pizza. Now I use it for all sorts of things, since watching this review. I found it more convenient for pizza rolls, considering there’s not as much clean up and the texture is way better than out of a microwave.
I've had my Pizzazz for a few years (The older model) I do love it, and use it a lot. You can take the tray off while it's still plugged in, and it will stop rotating. At least it does on the older model, and I found it easier to load the tray by sticking your two fingers around the prong of the tray, like if you were holding a cigarette, and guide the tray into the slot. But after watching your video, I may have to upgrade to the Plus model.
I have one and it does a great job. The little mini pizza's, hashbrowns, chicken nuggets, pizza's that fit, reheating pizza's that was baked at the store, the next day and it tasting like it was just as fresh as when I got it. Frozen french fries. Adding toppings to a frozen pizza and it coming out even better. Haven't try fresh pizza and toppings yet.. but it should come out just as awesome. And a little word of advice let the mini pizza's cool down first!!! and it also helps to balance the load on the tray.
I love when I’m looking at random crap I see on Facebook I know if I look it up on UA-cam I can find you reviewing it your reviews are always great and honest
It works but how's it better than a toaster oven? Wouldn't this need to run full power since everything's exposed and heat can't build? Like cooking with the oven door open? Seems inefficient.
Buy one and you'll see. It's honestly just more fun. Have had mine for a decade plus. Plug mine in on the coffee table and never have to pause a movie or game. ZERO trips to the kitchen, and my kids and nieces can remove their garlic bread when it's cooked to their liking. Haven't burnt a thing in 12 years. As weird as it looks, it's extremely efficient. I've cooked everything from pizza to fish sticks to tater tots. It doesn't look like it would work, but it does!!! My daughter hates when I buy "fat things" that won't fit on it😂😂😂I NEVER tell people how to spend their money, but I'm telling you to get one. Guarantee you'll love it. This is from a guy who hates cooking btw. Let me know if you try it out.
My experience with the toaster oven is that crumbs get in it, impossible to keep clean forever. Very easy to clean this pan, keeps the whole thing clean.
It cooks just like a toaster oven time-wise, but I've never used mine in the kitchen. It only weighs a few pounds, so my kids bring it into the living room while we're watching a game or whatever. Cleaning takes seconds, and the heat is intense enough that it mirrors a 400° oven. 1 or 4 grilled cheeses takes the same time. Get one and be amazed.
I remember about 10 years ago when I went over to my friends house and saw he had one of these. I doubted that it wouldn't cook the pizza fully like that in that time. I was absolutely blown away. Thanks for reminding me about these. I might just have to pick this up.
I got into your content cause, honestly, you do a better job at showing how to make stuff work than most instructions (personal issues, but still) Now I clicked on this because as insane as this gadget looked in the thumbnail, you posted it, so I know it's worth while content.
The pan gets really hot. Be careful if you are lifting the pan to turn it off. I wish it had a switch too but that would be one more thing to break. I love my pizzazz. We have had it for several years.
I got mine at the Base Exchange at Fairchild AFB in 2004 for use in the dorms. We didn't have ovens so this is all I had. I used it to make EVERYTHING. I even made brownies, pies and even made a small birthday cake. The coating on the tray will eventually flake off, so I just had to order a replacement... After almost 15 years! It is one of the few kitchen "gadgets" that is really worth it.
Oh man, I remember when I was a teen at home I cooked literally everything I wanted to eat on one of those and it always turned out better then if i had put it in the oven! I need to pick one up again for myself.
I have the original pizazz oven, I assume this one is the same. You put the tray on by angling the tray toward the back and pulling forward until it stops and then setting the tray down. It should be ready to fly after that.
This thing makes the best french fries ever- genuine restaurant quality out of the freezer! I started putting my fries I get from mcdonald's on there (especially when they are really soft or cold) and it makes them better than I receive from Mcdonald's 95% of the time. Also, if you've ever tried eating french fries out of the fridge from left overs or what-not, throwing them on the pizzaz ACTUALLY gets them back to their original glory. A must for french fry fans. My grandma got this for me as a gift a few years back, and I was very skeptical, but I can say it's one of the best as seen on TV items I've ever tried.
Butter the bread on the outside top and bottom of grilled cheese for better flavor. I got one of these for a wedding gift in 2003 and it worked and lasted great until 2018. The rotating pan would stick after a few minutes so I bought another one off Amazon for around 45.00 and still works great! I didn’t know about the no cutting pizzas on the actual pan so I’ve been doing something wrong 🤨 This thing works great with heating frozen chicken and buffalo strips and frozen fries and tator tots. Put on pan together and run for the full 20 mins on dual. This actually re heats leftover pizza or cold fries perfectly as well. Reheat for about 8 mins.
My parents bought one of these a number of years back. I wasn't much into pizzas (and these days I rarely do) but back then this was one of the best ways to make frozen pizzas. And I guess it could also make fresh ones but we never really did that. Also cooked cookies on it a few times too. Seems kinda weird in how it looks and kinda takes up space but it really does seem to work. I think we ended up buying a second one for another room in the house to make pizzas instead of having to go really far to use the other one.
Thank you for this review i`m in the market for a portable pizza cooker and I wasn't convinced with the design but now this will be added to my list of potentials thanks again
The reason there is no power switch is for safety. The tray needs to keep spinning until the coils cool down. It is meant to keep a single spot from burning up for being stationairy between the coils too long. Also it is a warning to those around that it was recently used and may still be hot. I let mine spin for about 5 minutes even after i take the stuff off the tray. I love making seasoned fries on it.
What most people are forgetting is that there is a bottom element heating the pan. It gets very hot and continues to heat and cook from the bottom up as it is always exposed to the heat. It's why you flip the sandwich because the bottom is cooking faster. Also when cooking pizza you can control the crispiness of the crust by switching off the bottom a few minutes early for a softer crust. Just experiment, the thing just works.
A friend of mine amazed me years ago with this machine. Best pizza ever! And you can add extra toppings or seasonings thoughout the cooking process all to your liking.
My wife and I received a Pizzaz about 13yrs ago as a Christmas gift. At first we thought it was a cheap gimmick that wouldn’t last. Surprise! It’s awesome and we use it all the time.
The description on Amazon lists energy usage as a selling point, claiming up to 60% less power consumption compared to a conventional oven. 120 volts, 60 hz only, 1235 watts.
It's comparable to a toaster oven. It's probably technically not as efficient as a full oven... however if all you're cooking is one frozen pizza, the pizzazz would likely be more economical. The pizzazz doesn't need to heat a large volume of air to work effectively.
Oh my god....I remember my family having one like this when I was a child. It was fun to watch the pizza get cooked as it spins. I would like to have one of these again but I've moved on to use a pizza stone so i don't need it that much.
I got a pizza stone for Christmas but I havent had much luck with it. I only buy frozen pizzas and they don't seem to do very well on it. Not sure if I'm just not using it right or what. And they say you aren't supposed to pre heat it either with frozen pizzas due to it cracking from thermal shock. The crust ends up coming out too doughy for my liking
@@KowboyUSA I've got really good NY style pizza shop just down the road from me that I go to when I want to splurge on a good pizza, but when I'm at home and I want something quick and easy, frozen pizza gets the job done. There are honestly some pretty good frozen pizzas out there if you know what to look for.
Got one as a gift over 5 years ago. Use it weekly to this day. Stays on the counter 24/7. Not sure why but it makes pizza better. We have a large family and have to use the oven alongside the pizza spinner. The pizza spinner always produces far above average frozen pizza.
Hey, I just bought the Maxi-Matic Elite Gourmet Multicooker and it has a 12 inch diameter hotplate under the 12" pan and a halogen air fryer/convection unit on top. Luvin' it.
Been using mine for several years now. It was purchased specifically for the pizza function after getting crappy pizza from the local Dummyo's pizza joint way too many times. Love, love, love it!!! Perfect pizza every time.
Straight up have had one for like 7 to 8 years now and still have the same one works fine to this day. Great reliable product, and very convenient. 10/10
yikes dont listen to wetkid. he mustve eaten paint chips as a child. you can go to any thrift store and find tons of kitchen gadgets like this for only $5 to $15 bucks.

A family member got us this as a “joke” wedding gift, but the joke was on them because we love it 😂

I also had the original. It took a great deal of practice to master the tray but I was very pleased. Packaged store pizza seemed to work better than homemade. But, to be honest, I tend to do very thick with toppings.
Who the hell has the time to preheat the oven? Just set the heat and whack the pizza in at the same time. Add 2-3 mins cooking time. Done.
I still have mine from @ 10 years ago and use it at least weekly. Works great!
I've had mine for 10 years and it still works great. Just used it today for a small frozen pizza.
Lived in a house with 4 other guys for a summer during college and this little gadget was a staple, used every day and everything was way easier than getting the gas oven going. I used to wake up and see 6 poptarts with butter rotating on that thing while people got ready for school/work and then got home and saw pizza damn near every night.
My uncle had one of these, I inherited it now. It's over 40 years old and still working amazing. One of the best products we have.
Wait you have had a pizza pizazz plus for 40 years?
Watching pizza while eating pizza.I had pizza last night too.Tomorrow..pizza
Same though! Had to jump on an Aldi take and bake that was on sale and saw this video pop up.
murdock babcock which Ninja turtle are you?
Let’s just say..You can call me Digiorno!
I support your lifestyle
I hate you so much right now eating this Ramen noodle.
We had one of these about 8 years ago, we got rid of everything when we moved. I have missed ours!! This is one the most convenient counter top products. Warms up many types of food, keeps things crispy when reheating also.. You are making me want to run out and buy another one!!!!
I love mine.
Just to comment on your "cons":
1. The tray continues to spin after the timer dings so that you dont have one edge of the pizza that gets stuck under the residual heat from the heating elements and burns. It continues to rotate to keep the entire tray warm.
2. If you insert the tray all the way to the back, then lower it, then pull it forward, it grabs the metal lip below and aligns the tray perfect.
Thank you
This is so weird, these things where out in the late 90's early 2000's and now all of a sudden they popping up like new
Polishing old turds.
Today is the first time I've ever seen or heard of this.
We're lazier than ever I guess
I’ve owned several of these over the years. Weirdly enough almost never made pizza on them. But they worked well. The reason I’ve had so many of them is because we wore them out from use.
The patent expired so now everyone can make them
Going on 5+ years with my Pizzazz and love it. Initially I was concerned it would waste electricity heating up my kitchen, but it turns out using a regular oven heats up the kitchen even more. Another advantage is no preheating is needed. That saves you 10 minutes over a regular oven!!
A great thing about cooking with the Pizzazz Plus is you see the food cooking. You can just look across the room and see "oh tater tots are done" or "pizza could go a tad longer to get cheese golden".
Sure if you like to stay in your kitchen while the food is cooking. But then you also could use the glas window of a regular oven to check that.
There is no cover for your food so the house is going to smell super chronic, and you're forced to watch it spin until you die of starvation
Cant use an oven for pizza after using this. Idk what the hell it is but pizza comes out way better. But in the summer it's back to grilling everything
I agree. Even the cheapest frozen pizza taste really good. Lol
I love mine! I will literally cry when mine breaks..
I can tell you why. Your dough is probably shit, you dont use a pizza stone/steel but a tray of some kind and you use the wrong temperature.
@boco yeah my oven went out and I used it a bit to get thru before I could get a new delievered
@@KraljHD I didn't ask you why first off. Secondly I have a pizza stone. Generally I grill pizza I make. I was referring to frozen pizzas. Odd random video to get all uppity about.
WARNING - DO NOT EVER USE THE PIZZA PIZZAZZ TO COOK HAMBURGER PATTIES!!!!!
The grease from the hamburger splatters on to the upper heating coils and then it catches on fire and the fan blows the fire outward in every direction, to the front and the sides, turning the Pizza Pizzazz into a huge blowtorch.
umm... and your telling me NOT to do this? Then why did you use such awesome description of what happens?.. "heads for the store to get Presto Pizzazz cooker and hamburger patties" ...........
thats the burger king limited edition.

@@crazyivan512 LOL, I should have added do not try this at home.
Wow! Haha! We have all exectued ideas that later sounded terrible from the start. You live you learn. This one brought me back to some of my amazing missteps! 😆
He said... No Raw Meat... So yeah, that would include hamburger
I first got one of these around 2001. My mom and sister got it for me for Christmas, I thought it was the stupidest thing when I opened the box and figured I’d never use it ever. Anyway, the year is now 2024 and I still own one. Cooks pizza great, chicken nuggets / strips / popcorn chicken, that is my primary use for it and it's so easy to keep an eye on how "done" I want the food. It typically cooks a frozen pizza in the time a regular oven finishes preheating (or close). It’s a great design and works well. I’ve had a couple get broken over the years, knocked over and the plastic busted which I glued back together, a relative leaned on one and busted the tray pivot, etc., but otherwise usually get 10 year or more out of them (repaired the damage and they kept on going). Have even made some fresh home made style pizzas, including french bread pizzas, but you do have to be very mindful of the height and not let anything too close to the top element.
Definitely thinking about getting one.👍

2¢ Chicks are you going to get one Cathy? You should get John in on the taste test! He cracks me up!!!
I have one. It’s my 2nd, as I used my old one a LOT. 5 of us in this house, and making pizza was always a lot of food. Plus, i could oven some and pizzazz the others. Makes great homemade pizza, too.
ditto
I used to have one of these, and it worked great. It is also quite the novelty item.
I've had one of those and it only lasted me 2 and a half years and if that pizza tray gets knocked off the thing that holds it and turns will bend and you cant fix it and you cant put too much extra topping on your pizza either cause it'll burn into the heat light.
Should have a non rotate button for sandwiches
It needs rotate because it needs some time for the cheese to melt and because it makes the sandwich less burnt
What if this meant to make not only one sandwich at a time, but full tray of sandwiches?
Nah

I’ve been making pizzas with a Pizzazz since I was a kid. I remember my dad bringing one home from an auction he got it from. I really loved using that device. I even got my own for Christmas when I first moved out of my parents’ house. I totally recommend owning one.

@@Biggest_Superhuman you'd probably like the Pizzazz too. a lot of unhealthy foods turn out really good on this thing. Pretty much anything with lots of fat and carbs cooks up wonderfully

This 100%
No, that would could them unevenly. They need to be staggered diagonally.
I'm a year late to this party, but since UA-cam recommended it ... I've had one of these for about 5 years and I use the hell out of it. It's great. When it breaks, I'll order another one the same day. Can't recommend highly enough.
I've been debating on buying this for a long time, thank you so much for doing real world tests! Keep doing what you're doing, really like your videos.

That was the most useless comment lol
“im not a human pig, i have an oven, why would i use this? I have an oven”
I had one of these back in like 2007 and it was one my two essential kitchen appliances, next to the George Foreman grill. Perfectly cooked pizza, and great for reheating to nice and crispy as well. And for easier cleaning, just slap a bit of foil over the turn table
I saw this and I instantly had to come comment on how amazing these things are.. I’ve had one for the last 10+ years and it’s the best thing ever. You can almost literally cook anything on it. And there’s nothing better than a 12 minute Jacks pepperoni pizza!
Buy one, you won’t regret it!
I've bought it a month ago..and I love it!
I've made everything from pizza to bread to wings (even if in the instructions they say not too!)..
I had many doubts about this oven,but boy it did impress me..
In the pro,add it consumes much less energy than your oven or any other gadgets you may own (and i own a lot of them)..
A LITTLE ADVISE : don't thing you have to see your pizza,bread or sandwiches crust brown or super dark to consider it done!
In fact,quite the opposite!
Crusts are crunchy and tasty even if they look quite white still,so check them and just follow the time instructions,they are pretty good..
Believe me,you will love it!
Love that my kids could just take off their garlic bread as it got to their liking instead of repeatedly opening the oven and taking them out multiple times when they were little. My daughter's favorite new thing to make is quesadillas now. 2 big ones fit perfectly.
One of the best things about the Pizza Pizzazz is that you can use it to reheat food, It even makes cold french fries nice and crunchy again.
See, now you've intrigued me with it making cold fries crunchy...
I never knew about the fries, thank you for sharing that!
Also tortilla chips brought home from a Mexican restaurant
I personally prefer an airfryer for reheating fried stuff.
@@Doomfullord Air fryers are too cumbersome. And the clean up..... I have both, and air fryer is too much work!
This Pizzaz is a simple, You can leave it on the counter (without the plate) and its ready to go in seconds.
I haven't cooked a pizza in the over in years ...love my pizzazz...I would recommend it to everyone....got mine as gift from my beloved grandma a few years ago she always gave the coolest gifts for Christmas!!! Pretty much any fried food comes out crispy and delicious
I got mine from my grandma as well
Grandma's are the best
But what about the center
MIKE D FOR DEPLORABLE you edited the comment but the whole first sentence still makes no sense
I Am also impressed Plus because of the lower wattage ( lower than an Oven ) It would be perfect for those with solar panels ! NO you place taquitos like the spokes on a bicycle tire.
I had 3 of these ovens the past 25 years. When my oldest child (34yrs old now) we used to have sleep overs with her friends, I would have 3 of these ovens cooking pizza, burritos, all kinds of food all night long. The kids would make custom pizzas "On Demand" , the cool thing you can do with this oven unlike your conventional oven, you can add ingredients as it cooks, no worries about opening a HOT oven. Now in 2021, I still have ONE left. Amazing product. Also great to use while camping, just use your Generator and plug this in. Hey, use at a tail-gate too. I`m going to buy another one again.
I use mine 2-3 times a week , and have been for over 4 years , still works perfect . Love this thing
Multiple sandwiches seems like a good idea, like as finger food for a small party or something
@Marius Olsen Yeah, no. Not everyone gets shitfaced at a party and nearly everyone who _doesn't_ cares about the food.
Yeah...for a party. No way I would eat all of the sandwiches myself...That would be crazy.
I wish you had tried a homemade dough pizza on it
Connor Kenway homemade dough cooks perfectly on this thing. I let the dough spin and bubble a little and then pull it off and add toppings and throw it back on. I love my pizzazz and make all my pizzas from scratch! This is my favorite kitchen gadget!
Cheri Louise that’s crazy I thought it wouldn’t work thanks for the comment
@@Felisargyle This thing is surprisingly one of those weird kitchen gadgets that's worth having especially if you don't have a room for a normal oven.

When you have trouble putting the tray on at 6:53 you don't need to look under it to line up the peg. Hook the tray over the two pegs at the back of the unit, then drop the front of the tray down. It will drop onto the peg without any hassle.
I'am on my second Pizzaa and have used it for a variety of frozen foods fries , chicken nuggets , pizza bread etc.... love it !
I think that you should have placed the taquitos radially.
Yeah, that may have been more aesthetically pleasing.
that's the word I was trying to think of!
@@Freakinreviews It may have cooked them more evenly, too.
Heck, since they're par-cooked anyway, I would think you could load up the tray side by side, space them apart by maybe 1/2 inch. They're not going to spread out.
LOL
When my dude brought out the taquitos, it was all over for me. I knew I had to go out and buy one of these.
Haha them mfs are fireeee
i know, my mom just bought an air fryer and i made taquitos in it, crispy and hot in 10 or so minutes, gotta love it.
I like the idea you are doing this because it may not be brand new but I had no idea about it! Can you do some more popular ones that you find? I enjoy any video upload from you honestly.
Watching this video made me want to eat pizza, a grilled cheese , cookies and watever that last thing was

I literally cook everything on it!! I hardly ever use my regular oven anymore...really love this product!!
This is the best kitchen appliance I have ever owned. I've had mine for about 10 years and it still works perfectly. 5 stars!
Putting the tray on is easy once you get the hang of it. Follow the instructions and tilt the tray, put the underside of the edge of it against the back of the burner coil and it should drop into place.
Best product for a college kid! I make pizza, chicken nuggets, taquitos, fries, hot dogs, pizza rolls, and even cinnamon rolls on mine! And to heck with cleaning it, that takes the baked in flavor away!

Curious which one would win if it were Pizzazz Plus vs Air Fryer making the same foods. Maybe a comparison video/taste test is in order?
lightfusegetaway why they’re literally 2 completely different product
@@JellyDoesZombies 2 different processes but they are VERY similar end products. For some reason the pizzazz makes shit super crispy. Wonderful gadget.
Um no. They are not even close to the same products. An air fryer is really a mini convection oven that can cook almost anything that isnt liquid. It can cook liquid but you have to use cans or ramikans. They both have their place for simplicity but are very diff products.
Joe Bob thank u joe bob
Yea the air fryer can cook more things the pizzazz is good for fried foods and the like so I guess its all in the use also no pizza in the air frier
Buy an appliance switch (cord switch) and add it to the cord. That will solve your plug issue
That or if you're into DIY projects, it would be fairly easy to buy a switch and find an area with empty space inside to add the switch to the device itself.
Or you can just accept that the on and off switch is the knob on top and not worry about it.
@@kingpickle3712 The tray rotates when the alliance is plugged in, only stops when unplugged. Maybe you should pay attention to the video.
@@bldrummer8287 Yes, but it stops eventually and the knob is still a power switch so my comment still stands.
You dont want to unplug and stop the tray while the element is still hot. It spins continuously to keep from burning. Whatever is under that element whether its food or just the pan will scorch if it doesnt continue spinning. When its cool, unplug it or remove the pan when youre done cooking
I feel really really stupid saying this, but I’ve had this for about 5 years and never once have I thought of using it for something other than pizza. Now I use it for all sorts of things, since watching this review. I found it more convenient for pizza rolls, considering there’s not as much clean up and the texture is way better than out of a microwave.
I love mine. Handy and little clean up. I’ve done wings covered in foil as well
I’ve never seen a product on this channel where he constantly praises it like this
Cuz this product freaking rocks. Trust me and get one.
I'm really curious about the engineering decision to not include a power switch.
Maybe for safety reasons? That's the only thing I can come up with.
Probably because of the toxins on/off buttons let out..
Guessing they don't want you to leave it plugged in all the time.
Maybe because some people see on/off switch offensive.
no one when the timer is on 0 it’s off, so I guess it’s kinda an off/on switch
I've had my Pizzazz for a few years (The older model) I do love it, and use it a lot. You can take the tray off while it's still plugged in, and it will stop rotating. At least it does on the older model, and I found it easier to load the tray by sticking your two fingers around the prong of the tray, like if you were holding a cigarette, and guide the tray into the slot. But after watching your video, I may have to upgrade to the Plus model.
How is this one different from the older one?
@@queerdor The instructions on the older one says not to expose the tray to direct heat, so I'm guessing it would ruin the teflon coating on the tray.
I have one and it does a great job. The little mini pizza's, hashbrowns, chicken nuggets, pizza's that fit, reheating pizza's that was baked at the store, the next day and it tasting like it was just as fresh as when I got it. Frozen french fries. Adding toppings to a frozen pizza and it coming out even better. Haven't try fresh pizza and toppings yet.. but it should come out just as awesome. And a little word of advice let the mini pizza's cool down first!!! and it also helps to balance the load on the tray.
I love when I’m looking at random crap I see on Facebook I know if I look it up on UA-cam I can find you reviewing it your reviews are always great and honest
Man I still get amgry at myself for not buying this on Amazon for $20. It was an insane deal and I haven't seen it for that price again ever.
Man the price doesn't matter. It's worth every penny.
Just buy it me and my bro have one and cook all kinds of stuff on it had mine for 3 years still hasnt messed up on me
Used to use one of these in the break room at work when I was on overnights and all the restaurants were closed. It was a lifesaver.
It works but how's it better than a toaster oven? Wouldn't this need to run full power since everything's exposed and heat can't build? Like cooking with the oven door open? Seems inefficient.
Buy one and you'll see. It's honestly just more fun. Have had mine for a decade plus. Plug mine in on the coffee table and never have to pause a movie or game. ZERO trips to the kitchen, and my kids and nieces can remove their garlic bread when it's cooked to their liking. Haven't burnt a thing in 12 years. As weird as it looks, it's extremely efficient. I've cooked everything from pizza to fish sticks to tater tots. It doesn't look like it would work, but it does!!! My daughter hates when I buy "fat things" that won't fit on it😂😂😂I NEVER tell people how to spend their money, but I'm telling you to get one. Guarantee you'll love it. This is from a guy who hates cooking btw. Let me know if you try it out.
My experience with the toaster oven is that crumbs get in it, impossible to keep clean forever. Very easy to clean this pan, keeps the whole thing clean.
You have no clue son!!! Best invention of the 21st century!!!!!!!!
It cooks just like a toaster oven time-wise, but I've never used mine in the kitchen. It only weighs a few pounds, so my kids bring it into the living room while we're watching a game or whatever. Cleaning takes seconds, and the heat is intense enough that it mirrors a 400° oven. 1 or 4 grilled cheeses takes the same time. Get one and be amazed.
I remember about 10 years ago when I went over to my friends house and saw he had one of these. I doubted that it wouldn't cook the pizza fully like that in that time. I was absolutely blown away. Thanks for reminding me about these. I might just have to pick this up.
I got into your content cause, honestly, you do a better job at showing how to make stuff work than most instructions (personal issues, but still)
Now I clicked on this because as insane as this gadget looked in the thumbnail, you posted it, so I know it's worth while content.
If you lift the pan while it's spinning it turns off. If you drop the pan while it's plugged in it turns on.
No need to keep unplugging it c:
The pan gets really hot. Be careful if you are lifting the pan to turn it off. I wish it had a switch too but that would be one more thing to break. I love my pizzazz. We have had it for several years.
Mine doesn't do that; plus the instructions say to keep it plugged in for 2 minutes after the timer pings.
this is the best appliance i have ever bought. I use it constantly. I highly recommend it.
I’ve been using a pizzazz for like 10 years and I’d never go without one now. Best way to make or reheat pizza as well as tons of other grub.
Well go marry it.
I received one for Christmas, you gave a great review! I can’t wait to try it.
I got mine at the Base Exchange at Fairchild AFB in 2004 for use in the dorms. We didn't have ovens so this is all I had. I used it to make EVERYTHING. I even made brownies, pies and even made a small birthday cake. The coating on the tray will eventually flake off, so I just had to order a replacement... After almost 15 years! It is one of the few kitchen "gadgets" that is really worth it.
Oh man, I remember when I was a teen at home I cooked literally everything I wanted to eat on one of those and it always turned out better then if i had put it in the oven!
I need to pick one up again for myself.
AirFryer vs. Pizzazz Plus?
I have the original pizazz oven, I assume this one is the same. You put the tray on by angling the tray toward the back and pulling forward until it stops and then setting the tray down. It should be ready to fly after that.
This thing makes the best french fries ever- genuine restaurant quality out of the freezer! I started putting my fries I get from mcdonald's on there (especially when they are really soft or cold) and it makes them better than I receive from Mcdonald's 95% of the time. Also, if you've ever tried eating french fries out of the fridge from left overs or what-not, throwing them on the pizzaz ACTUALLY gets them back to their original glory. A must for french fry fans.
My grandma got this for me as a gift a few years back, and I was very skeptical, but I can say it's one of the best as seen on TV items I've ever tried.
Butter the bread on the outside top and bottom of grilled cheese for better flavor.
I got one of these for a wedding gift in 2003 and it worked and lasted great until 2018. The rotating pan would stick after a few minutes so I bought another one off Amazon for around 45.00 and still works great!
I didn’t know about the no cutting pizzas on the actual pan so I’ve been doing something wrong 🤨
This thing works great with heating frozen chicken and buffalo strips and frozen fries and tator tots. Put on pan together and run for the full 20 mins on dual. This actually re heats leftover pizza or cold fries perfectly as well. Reheat for about 8 mins.
Wish I had the counter space for that.
I'm thinking the same thing. I would love to Pizzazz Plus, just don't have the counter space.
Same as I have no room either in my kitchen.
I have mine on the counter with the pan standing up behind it until I use it.
I wish that I had counters.
When I moved into this apartment I bought a small folding table for my Pizzazz. Worth it.
Had this for years and love it
My parents bought one of these a number of years back. I wasn't much into pizzas (and these days I rarely do) but back then this was one of the best ways to make frozen pizzas. And I guess it could also make fresh ones but we never really did that. Also cooked cookies on it a few times too. Seems kinda weird in how it looks and kinda takes up space but it really does seem to work. I think we ended up buying a second one for another room in the house to make pizzas instead of having to go really far to use the other one.
Thank you for this review i`m in the market for a portable pizza cooker and I wasn't convinced with the design but now this will be added to my list of potentials thanks again
The reason there is no power switch is for safety. The tray needs to keep spinning until the coils cool down. It is meant to keep a single spot from burning up for being stationairy between the coils too long. Also it is a warning to those around that it was recently used and may still be hot. I let mine spin for about 5 minutes even after i take the stuff off the tray. I love making seasoned fries on it.
Good answer !
I’ve had my pizzazz for years now and it has always been my go to for ZAS
Grilled cheese is usufil if you're making multiple all the way around 🤔
Yes you're right
What most people are forgetting is that there is a bottom element heating the pan. It gets very hot and continues to heat and cook from the bottom up as it is always exposed to the heat. It's why you flip the sandwich because the bottom is cooking faster.
Also when cooking pizza you can control the crispiness of the crust by switching off the bottom a few minutes early for a softer crust.
Just experiment, the thing just works.
Yeah otherwise way to slow.
A friend of mine amazed me years ago with this machine. Best pizza ever! And you can add extra toppings or seasonings thoughout the cooking process all to your liking.
My wife and I received a Pizzaz about 13yrs ago as a Christmas gift. At first we thought it was a cheap gimmick that wouldn’t last. Surprise! It’s awesome and we use it all the time.
I’ve had one of these things for over 10 years... and you can literally cook anything that will fit on it. It’s amazing.
We have one of these and we love it! We even gave them out as Christmas gifts one year!
Did you measure actual energy consumption? I'd assume such a open system to waste a lot of energy.
The description on Amazon lists energy usage as a selling point, claiming up to 60% less power consumption compared to a conventional oven. 120 volts, 60 hz only, 1235 watts.
what about compared to a toaster oven. this doesn't exactly cook as much food as a full regular oven
It's comparable to a toaster oven. It's probably technically not as efficient as a full oven... however if all you're cooking is one frozen pizza, the pizzazz would likely be more economical. The pizzazz doesn't need to heat a large volume of air to work effectively.
Oh my god....I remember my family having one like this when I was a child. It was fun to watch the pizza get cooked as it spins. I would like to have one of these again but I've moved on to use a pizza stone so i don't need it that much.
I got a pizza stone for Christmas but I havent had much luck with it. I only buy frozen pizzas and they don't seem to do very well on it. Not sure if I'm just not using it right or what. And they say you aren't supposed to pre heat it either with frozen pizzas due to it cracking from thermal shock. The crust ends up coming out too doughy for my liking
@@92ASC maybe you should take up making pizza dough so you can make real pizza.
@@KowboyUSA I've got really good NY style pizza shop just down the road from me that I go to when I want to splurge on a good pizza, but when I'm at home and I want something quick and easy, frozen pizza gets the job done. There are honestly some pretty good frozen pizzas out there if you know what to look for.
Got one as a gift over 5 years ago. Use it weekly to this day. Stays on the counter 24/7. Not sure why but it makes pizza better. We have a large family and have to use the oven alongside the pizza spinner. The pizza spinner always produces far above average frozen pizza.
Hey, I just bought the Maxi-Matic Elite Gourmet Multicooker and it has a 12 inch diameter hotplate under the 12" pan and a halogen air fryer/convection unit on top. Luvin' it.
did it work with selfmade pizza with your own dough
Good question. Maybe if you cook the pizza dough at least 1/2 way. Then put on toppings.
Instead of plugging and unplugging with every use, get an extension cord/power strip with an on/off switch
Or just using the on/off switch on the wall.
Or do it the intended way by removing the pan. This device switches on/off when removing the pan.

Been using mine for several years now. It was purchased specifically for the pizza function after getting crappy pizza from the local Dummyo's pizza joint way too many times. Love, love, love it!!! Perfect pizza every time.
Straight up have had one for like 7 to 8 years now and still have the same one works fine to this day. Great reliable product, and very convenient. 10/10
Americans have so many weird products! I want to live there!
u will never live here we dont want more immigrants
yikes dont listen to wetkid. he mustve eaten paint chips as a child. you can go to any thrift store and find tons of kitchen gadgets like this for only $5 to $15 bucks. I have gotten ice cream makers, steamers, blenders, coffee makers, tons of george foreman grills, toaster ovens, and many many other kitchen items for next to nothing.
If you're looking for weird inventions, Japan is the home of wacky and often pointless inventions. It's actually something of an art form, they've got a name for it but I don't remember what it is.
@@lihyaman why would anyone want to live in that shithole? Don't worry, in my country we don't accept uneducated people like you. On the other hand with my MSc I can make it there Ezpz
Cut out the middle man and live in China, that’s where all this crap comes from.
I never heard of this before, I think it would be perfect for me who lives alone.
Got one of these years ago when they first came out. My family loves it. You should try corn dogs on it they come out amazing.
been using one of these for decades! it's a little bulkier than your average toaster oven but i can't imagine life without it now, it heats food like nothing else. it's best at reviving soggy leftovers to their full former crispiness, it's insanely convenient for bachelor life, but i'd recommend it to anyone haha
Had one of these for years, and it works great. Really great for college students, takes up little space.
