The Fulham Group, the exclusive Cuisinart brand licensee for outdoor grilling products, has debuted the 3-in-1 Pizza Oven Plus.
This unit combines three cooking functions into one portable appliance: pizza oven, griddle and grill. When not in use, the exchangeable cooking surfaces can be stored on an integrated shelf. The 3-in-1 Pizza Oven Plus is equipped with a gas hose for a 20-pound propane tank.
As a pizza oven, the unit features a 13-inch cordierite pizza stone, designed to retain and distribute heat evenly. The cordierite pizza stone is secured by pegs on the bottom of the grill grate, which keeps it centered in the oven while slightly raising the surface to allow for natural convection heat surrounding the pizza. The oven reaches 700° F and cooks a full-sized pizza in six to eight minutes, according to the company.
The dual-hinged lid design features a drop-down pizza oven door designed for easy access into the oven with minimal heat loss. The lid also acts as a standard grill lid, flipping up and down, allowing for greater cooking versatility while griddling and grilling.
Made from 100% cast iron for maximum heat retention and long last durability, the griddle plate and grill grate feature 230 and 260 square inches of cooking space. To reduce flare-ups, grease is routed from the cooking surface to the collection cup.
The Cuisinart 3-in-1 Pizza Oven Plus retails at $299.99.
