Does it crisp the crust like a pizza stone?

No. The non-stick plate bakes softer crusts than a stone or a high-heat oven. For crispness, pre-bake dough briefly or finish under a broiler.

Can I bake fresh dough in it?

Yes, but thin dough works best. Thick or wet dough can stay pale underneath, so par-bake it first or use a lower temperature for longer.

Does it have a timer or temperature display?

No. There is only an adjustable temperature dial, so you time the bake yourself and check the pizza as it cooks.

How big a pizza fits?

It is a 12.5-inch class maker, so a pizza up to roughly 12 inches fits on the plate. Larger pizzas need trimming or a full oven.

The non-stick plate wipes clean once cooled. Avoid metal utensils and abrasive pads, which can damage the coating.

Can it do anything besides pizza?

Yes. Owners use it for flatbreads, quesadillas, garlic bread and reheating leftovers.

Our take on the NutriChef 12.5" Countertop Pizza Maker

The NutriChef 12.5-inch countertop pizza maker is a plug-in electric oven that bakes a fresh or frozen pizza on a non-stick plate with a dial for adjustable temperature. It heats up fast and needs no oven preheat, so it suits small kitchens, dorms and anyone who wants a quick personal pizza without firing up the range. Against stone-based countertop ovens it is simpler and lighter, but it lacks a stone, a timer and a built-in temperature readout, and owners report uneven browning and a short-lived non-stick coating.
