Gozney Roccbox: Commercial-Grade, Portable Pizza Oven

By
gozney roccbox pizza oven

Having your own pizza oven typically involves a large kitchen or outdoor space that most people don’t have. However, Gozney Roccbox has found a way to shrink the pizza oven to a portable size while still delivering a commercial-grade appliance.

Here’s my review of the Gozney Roccbox portable pizza oven, which I’m happy to say involved a lot of pizza nights in our house to see how it worked.

About the Company

Tom Gozney designed the pizza oven and started the company nearly 10 years ago. His goal was to create the perfect home-cooked pizza. Since then, he has developed many different products to help consumers enjoy restaurant pizzas at home.

Portable Pizza Oven Features

Available in gray or bright green, the restaurant-grade portable pizza has a long list of features. The company came up with the design based on what restaurants use, including adding professional-grade materials.

The pizza oven has a built-in thermometer, retractable legs, and detachable burner system. You can choose to use the standard gas burner or add a detachable wood burner that comes as an accessory to purchase separately.

Pros and Cons

The pros with this portable pizza oven are that fresh, homemade pizza is cooked nicely in just one to three minutes. The built-in thermometer helps to know exactly when the pizza is done. Plus, the oven is solid and durable, offering good heat distribution for even cooking. It’s also easy to set up and offers a cool look as cooking appliances go.

Another standout feature was that the outer silicone skin and dense body insulation helped reduce the risk of skin burns. Of course, to be safe, I still kept the kids far away from being able to touch it.

However, no matter how much I love cooking homemade pizza this fast with this portable pizza oven, there are some cons to address.  Despite the “portable” in its name, it’s heavy. The pizza oven comes in at 40 pounds, and that’s before adding the propane attachment. We also couldn’t really use the wood-burning attachment feature.

Finally, it’s on the expensive side at $500 albeit that is less than building a pizza oven in the backyard. There are competitors to compare, although I have yet to try the other options because I’m fully vested in this one after the sizable investment.

What’s in the Box?

Along with the oven, you get a professional-grade pizza peel, detachable gas burner, bottle opener, and manual. The pizza oven also comes with a five-year warranty.

While it’s not in the box, you can find tutorials on how to use the pizza oven and delicious recipes on their website. We took advantage of both these options and found it useful to get us started with our pizza-making.

Where to Buy

You can buy the pizza oven through the Gozney website for $499 with free shipping and free returns. Along with the wood-burning attachment, their website has other accessories like a cover and other pizza tools for purchase. Amazon and Williams-Sonoma also carry the pizza oven.

Overall Thoughts

This Gozney Roccbox pizza oven is a fun and delicious tool to enjoy restaurant-quality pizza at home in just minutes. There is so little fuss or effort. The only downside is that we will have to make a lot of pizzas to get the return on the $500 price tag. I really love this oven and it’s nice to have if it’s in the budget.

The Nintendo Switch has been the US’s bestselling console for 23 straight months

By
Photo by James Bareham / The Verge It’s been a good two years for the Nintendo Switch. According to Nintendo, the gaming tablet has been the bestselling console in the US for 23 straight months. And according to data from the NPD Group, it just had its best October ever, moving 735,926 units of both the Switch and Switch Lite in the US. The company says that represents a 136 percent increase compared to last year. To date, the Switch has sold 22.5 million units in the US, and last week Nintendo revealed that more than 68 million units have been sold globally . “We’re excited about our momentum,” says Nick Chavez, Nintendo of America’s SVP of sales and marketing. Chavez puts the company’s big October down to two main factors. One is a better supply of stock; this year in particular, it’s often been hard to find a Switch on store shelves. This has only been exacerbated by increased demand due to a combination of the pandemic and the breakout success of Animal Crossing: New Horizons . ...

Instagram accidentally reinstated Pornhub’s banned account

By
After years of on-and-off temporary suspensions, Instagram permanently banned Pornhub’s account in September. Then, for a short period of time this weekend, the account was reinstated. By Tuesday, it was permanently banned again. “This was done in error,” an Instagram spokesperson told TechCrunch. “As we’ve said previously, we permanently disabled this Instagram account for repeatedly violating our policies.” Instagram’s content guidelines prohibit  nudity and sexual solicitation . A Pornhub spokesperson told TechCrunch, though, that they believe the adult streaming platform’s account did not violate any guidelines. Instagram has not commented on the exact reasoning for the ban, or which policies the account violated. It’s worrying from a moderation perspective if a permanently banned Instagram account can accidentally get switched back on. Pornhub told TechCrunch that its account even received a notice from Instagram, stating that its ban had been a mistake (that message itse...

MVP versus EVP: Is it time to introduce ethics into the agile startup model?

By
Anand Rao Contributor Share on Twitter Anand Rao is global head of AI at PwC . The rocket ship trajectory of a startup is well known: Get an idea, build a team and slap together a minimum viable product (MVP) that you can get in front of users. However, today’s startups need to reconsider the MVP model as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) become ubiquitous in tech products and the market grows increasingly conscious of the ethical implications of AI augmenting or replacing humans in the decision-making process. An MVP allows you to collect critical feedback from your target market that then informs the minimum development required to launch a product — creating a powerful feedback loop that drives today’s customer-led business. This lean, agile model has been extremely successful over the past two decades — launching thousands of successful startups, some of which have grown into billion-dollar companies. However, building high-performing product...
