I decided to make a home made pizza tonight since I really fancied something with mozzarella.

I bought lovely ham and pepperoni and lots of mozzarella to top it off with and was really excited.

I read earlier that electric ovens which heat from underneath are better for cooking pizzas than a fan oven, which we have. So I waited til the little oven reached 220C and within 10 minutes the base was BLACK and stuck to the tray! The whole underneath was burned, very burned, and the toppings weren't cooked enouugh.

I almost cried because I was so looking forward to it. I scraped some of the charcoal off but it didn't really taste good :(

I blame my old oven for getting too hot. Can you get oven thermometers?

No fmales. It's electric. I've done them twice before in the fan oven but only this time tried the top bottom heating one.

They are indeed lovely and I would highly recommend making one whenever you can. I wish mine hadn't messed up. I did eat as much as I could but I am still a bit hungry.

I might put one of those on my Christmas list.

Other things I would like to get:
Oven thermometer
Sugar thermometer

Can't think of the others right now.

So you don't trust electrons rushing around (hardly moving actually) a heating element but you are happy using electromagnetic waves flying through the air at 2.45GHz?

How can you not like lasagne? It's scrumptious! Yummytastic. Do you like bolognese? Although you're not really a meat eater are you?

Fake heating?

Do you use a kettle? a toaster? do you have a gas or electric hob?
