What is the pizza function and why should you use it?
As the name suggests, this function is optimised to get perfect results for homemade pizza. High circulation of hot air and heat from above, combined with bottom heat, are crucial for getting a bubbling cheese and sauce topping, along with the crispiest crust. When using the pizza function, the fan and the top-and bottom heat work together to evenly bake your pizza. You can also use this function to bake perfectly crisp crusts for your tart, quiche, pie or bread.

2. Preheat the oven tray before placing your pizza on it for best results
