Accessories: take a look at which accessories your chosen pizza oven comes with. In our eyes, a pizza peel is an essential, but some brands don't provide these as standard, and this will be an additional cost. If you’re a foodie, we’d recommend the Cobb Premier barbecue – and if you’re a foodie for whom money is no object then the Big Green Egg MiniMax is an even better option. And if you’re simply after a good, techie barbecue then you should consider the fan-assisted Lotus Grill. Verdict Hinged press/grill – with no-squish adjustable height settings; 3 one-touch presets for Panini, Burger and Steak; independent heating dials for top and bottom plates, and brushed stainless steel finish.

It also has a brushed stainless-steel finish, which is a magnet for fingerprints even before you start cooking with it. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ Storage: consider the space you have available. The smallest pizza ovens we've tested are the BBQ-top models, which thanks to their small, boxy size, can easily be stored in a garage, shed or even inside somewhere. A number of the models on this list have easy foldaway legs, meaning they too will take up very little room when not in use. Some of the larger models we've tested will need to be kept outside in all weathers, in this case, a cover is an absolute must.

Safety: Pizzas require incredibly high temperatures to cook so we looked for excellent insulation and safety features to make using the pizza oven easy to use. The electronic temperature control allows you to be charged, allowing you to adjust the heat of the high-quality ceramic plates separately to make sure that whatever you are cooking can be cooked evenly and to your liking. You can also adjust the angle of the plates allowing you to make sure that you have a perfectly flat, even covering of your decided food. SpecificationsThe simple control panel has three one-touch presets – Panini, Burger and Steak – that give you perfect results at the touch of a button. There are also two temperature dials, each controlling one of the plates, so you can turn up the heat of each plate independently to suit whatever you’re cooking. Apart from that, there’s just a power button and two lights that show you if it’s heating up and when it’s ready to cook, so it really couldn’t be simpler to use. Fancy a perfectly pressed panini, complete with griddle lines, at the touch of a button? Mmm, melty cheese… How about a delicious juicy burger, cooked just the way you like it, or a seared steak? Sage’s The BBQ & Press Grill gives you all of these at the touch of a button, and that’s just the start of its powers. With two reversible flat/griddle plates, each with an independent temperature control, two modes – panini press and open barbecue – and three one-touch presets, this versatile machine puts precision grilling at your fingertips.
