If you have a good-quality pizza oven, you can use this equipment to prepare not only high-quality pizzas but also a variety of other dishes, including desserts, meats, and other food items. 

In this post, we will explore a few oven uses you may not have considered before. With this expertise, you can not only please your family members but also invite your friends for a party.

However, if you select any of the Gozney Pizza Ovens available in the BBQs2u store in the UK, you can get the best out of it very easily and conveniently.

Bake Decadent Desserts

The high heat and even cooking of a pizza oven make it ideal for baking:

• Cast Iron Skillet Treats – Bake apple crisps, cobblers, or even Basque cheesecake for a smoky, caramelized finish.
• S’mores Dip – You can melt your chocolate and toast your marshmallows to make a dessert that you can share with your family.
• Bananas Foster – You can avoid the risks of stovetop cooking and use your oven to caramelize bananas by mixing them with sugar and rum, creating a flambe-style treat for your family.

Cook Restaurant-Quality Proteins

You can also achieve excellent sears and smoky taste on your meats:

• Steak & Lamb Chops – You can achieve a crispy crust and, at the same time, maintain the interior juiciness at a temperature of 500-900°F.
• Chicken Wings – To achieve a crispy, wood-fired flavour in your chicken, try tossing the wings in sauce after roasting.
• Thanksgiving Turkey – You can also spatchcock a small turkey or roast a chicken during the Christmas party and place it at the centre.

Whip Up Artisan Breads

• Focaccia – You can try using the leftover pizza dough, seasoning it with herbs, and baking it in a skillet.
• Naan & Flatbreads – Also, can cook your bread for a few minutes over high heat till it turns blistered and fluffy.

Roast & Char Vegetables

• Corn on the Cob – Char kernels to get a smoky elote-style corn.
• Eggplant & Peppers – Roast them until they are soft enough to serve with dips and sandwiches.
• Caramelized Onions – Slowly cook in your skillet to get a rich, sweet flavour.

Melt & Brown Cheeses

• Baked Brie – For your beautiful appetizer, try to drizzle it with honey or top it with nuts.
• Meatball Subs – Simmer the meatballs in the sauce, then try to melt the cheese in the oven.

Bonus: Breakfast & Brunch

• Frittatas – Cook your eggs and vegetables by using a cast-iron pan.
• Dutch Baby Pancakes – Pour the batter into your hot skillet to achieve a fluffy, golden finish.

Final Tips
