An unintended pun? One of the Oetker's was a prominent member of the Waffen SS. Multi-national industrial food should vanish in all its manifestations.
I have never tried a Dr O pizza. The picture puts me off and I'll eat almost anything (once) as long as its not still moving.
We need a new microwave and the model we have picked has a proofing setting so perfect for raising the pizza dough. If only I could crack the freeze/thaw cycle for excess dough.

We are moving again and the new house has a real refractory brick oven in the back yard that they can't move so they have to leave it, too bad. 🙂
I love a good hot dog, especially with sauerkraut and onions. This one reminds me of something though. My daughter was working in the kitchen of a local pizza place (considered by many the best in town). As well as excellent pizzas they sell heros, though you have to know and ask for them because they aren't on the menu (long story). They make one they call the Coney (as in Island) which contains a really good hot dog (I heard somewhere they are from Nathan's but I don't know that for sure), pizza sauce, cheese, etc, and it is really good. Now I'm hungry just thinking about it.
(They use a device called a Merrychef which I understand is a combination microwave and convection oven, which heats the sandwich in seconds while keeping the outside crispy.)
Scott,
You are well into thermocouple territory. Lots of choices. But of course as a true DIY'r you can make one yourself!
But PM me a current address and I'll look in my shop for one, should have a few.

Thanks Ed I have a cheap 900F thermocouple but I have to find a meter with the correct ice point compensation or DIY one. I would think the irradiance thermometers would work here.
Good luck with the move and it's nice to have things like that to take the edge off.
Some things you just have to do sometimes.
Our OTR unit is one of those. Handy if you remember to preheat it. No broil function though.
The IR guns are *just* fine for pizza making. Many a brick oven has been used for millenia without any sort of instrumentation beyond the color inside. 🙂
(Enjoy, I'm jealous!)
That would be Rudolf August Oetker who run the company from '44 to the '80s.
The denazification program in Germany was shockingly inept and lenient. There were a lot of people who spent months in prison when it should have been decades.
Agree on the food multinationals. The world would be a better and healthier place without them.
Not sure coal is a good option if you want to make pizza. I'm sure that would taste weird/wrong.
But once you've got it hot neapolitan pizza is truly fast food: They bake in under 2 minutes!
three pork Butt roasts rubbed with Brown Sugar, Salt, Cure #1, red pepper, Hot Hungarian Paprika, and garlic powder, in the refrigerator curing for a smoking session next week.
My son wants two to take to a birthday party for a childhood friend.
I figure I might as well smoke one for me too.
The total mass is over 12 Kg.

Go for an "N" type thermocouple. That is what I use in my heat treatment furnace I built. Good over 2200F (1200C).
Next time you are in NYC go to John's Pizza on Bleeker St. Fantastic pizza from coal fired oven.
Any of the platinum wire -based materials will be good, but 900F is still well within a K-type's range with a glass fiber overwrap.

But once you know the desired temperature you can just note the voltage.
A simple DIY would be to make a new scale for an old analog meter. Probably 15 minutes to print on any simple drawing software and including an eBay meter under $20.00.

We had coal-fired central heating when I was a kid. It stank and I'm not sure I'd wanna eat anything exposed to those fumes as it would be in a pizza oven.
I'm sure I'd find charcoal acceptable but coal?
Never been to NYC so there can't be a 'next time' and I highly doubt that there will be a first time! 🙂
