The Ninja Artisan electric outdoor pizza oven, model MO201UK, is a modern cooking appliance that aims to make outdoor cooking easier. Unlike traditional gas or wood-fired ovens, it doesn’t require fuel, a flame, or rotating the pizza during cooking. The oven features four preset cooking modes—Artisan, Thin Crust, New York, and Pan—as well as a custom setting for personalized cooking. It can also function as an air fryer, capable of cooking up to 1.3kg of french fries or baking six chicken breasts. It reaches a maximum temperature of 370°C in 14–15 minutes, with pizzas typically cooked in just two minutes. Priced at £314.99, it may be available for less, and it uses less than 1kWh of electricity after an hour at full temperature, making it more cost-effective than a compact gas oven. Designed for ease of use, the Ninja Artisan uses a plug-and-play system, allowing users to cook spontaneously without the hassle of setting up fuel sources. However, the lack of a flame and even heat distribution means the pizza doesn’t need to be rotated. The oven’s tightly sealed door helps retain heat but can be difficult to open with one hand, making it challenging to place or remove the pizza. This can affect timing and may lead to overcooking or burning the food. Temperature control is another area where users may need to be careful. After cooking at high temperatures like 370°C, switching to a lower setting such as 220°C may not allow the oven to cool enough, risking overcooking. An infrared (IR) thermometer is recommended to ensure the oven is at the correct temperature before adding food. Additionally, the tightly sealed door can cause food to stick to the pizza stone, emphasizing the need for careful temperature management. The Ninja Artisan comes with a one-year warranty, which can be extended to two years with registration. Spare parts like the base unit, pizza stone, and air-fry basket are available. The manufacturer recommends using a cover for protection and provides detailed cleaning and care instructions to help extend the oven's lifespan. While praised for its convenience, versatility, and quick heating, the Ninja Artisan lacks the high temperatures of traditional gas ovens, which can affect the texture and appearance of the pizza crust. For those who want an electric oven that can handle various cooking tasks, it’s a strong option. However, for those who prefer the traditional method of cooking with a live flame and the authentic texture of a wood or gas-fired pizza, a gas oven might still be the preferred choice.
