I’ve always considered pizza to be the perfect food; it’s economical, portable, delicious, and–properly prepared–contains all the food groups. If you file pizza under J for junk food, you’ve probably been buying those limp and greasy slices that sit under a heat lamp for hours. Homemade pizza allows you to control the ingredients, the temperature, and the cheesiness, and it’s definitely faster than ordering on a raining Friday night. Breadman’s 12-inch oven bakes a pizza that’s fully loaded with fresh ingredients in just 20 minutes, and heats a frozen pizza in only 15. The nonstick coating allows the pizza to slide out easily, and the patented heat distribution system prevents undercooked middles and burnt crust. The baking component is removable and dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning, although you should be careful not to clean with any abrasives that could damage the nonstick surface. The oven handles stay cool, so you can serve pizza right from the pizza oven. It comes with an instruction book that has recipes for both pizzas and calzones, although with pizza, you’re only limited by your imagination. –Laura Cuthbert
