A pizza oven for a boat expands the possibilities of a small galley without the need to retrofit a built-in oven. The new attachment from Omnia makes use of the existing hob. The matching scissors from Asdirne are then designed to help where a standard pizza cutter reaches its limits on small baking trays.
Further Recipes for sailors to cook on board provide ideas for dishes that can be prepared even with limited worktop space and basic equipment.
A gas hob becomes a pizza oven
The new Omnia Stovetop Pizza Oven brings top and bottom heat to the gas hob. Measuring 25 centimetres in diameter and weighing 1.85 kilograms, the appliance is designed for crews of small boats whose galleys do not have an oven. The attachment works with all types of hobs except induction. Price: 99 euros. Further information: Omniasweden.com
Pizza scissors
Cutting pizza with scissors. To avoid having to open the storage box, there are special scissors designed specifically for this purpose. With conventional pizza cutters, it’s difficult to reach the corners on small baking trays. This is where the scissors have a clear advantage. The Asdirne model also comes with a triangular extension designed for serving individual slices of pizza. The angled handles prevent your hand from coming into contact with the hot cheese whilst cutting. The scissors can be separated into two parts for easier cleaning. As well as pizza, they’re also ideal for chopping herbs or leeks. Price: 15 euros. Further information: asdirne.com
Book recommendation
5 ingredients is aimed at crews who cook in a small galley with just a few hobs, pans and ingredients. Ira König combines recipes with a shopping list, storage tips, alternative ingredients and ideas for one-pot meals or cold dishes. This complements the two pizza guides perfectly: the book provides practical, everyday meals for days when neither an oven nor a large worktop is available.
