When I think of pizza, I don’t always think of pizza bought from the frozen food section of the supermarket. I think of freshly baked pizza, preferably wood-fired. Sometimes time and budget constraints don’t allow for that. What if an AI-enabled pellet grill changed that?
I’m in the process of moving, so every night is filled with packing and hauling everything back to my house. Looking for meals that are a little more convenient than a basic sandwich, frozen pizza can be a great option for a busy family. Whether it was an epiphany or a belated realization, I decided to stop using the oven to heat the house during these extreme temperatures and use my pellet grill instead.
Wood-smoked pizza wins
Brisk It’s AI-powered pellet grill is perfect for quickly cooking burgers and steaks, but Vera, your AI assistant, can help you with all your cooking needs.
This cooking requires one of the best pellet grills on the market today. Briskit Origin 580On the surface, there’s not much that stands out about the grill: It has good build quality, an easy-to-use 580 square inches of cooking area, and comes with a digital control panel and a 22-pound pellet hopper. Where this grill differs is in its software.
Yes, we said the software is what sets this grill apart. So can you use the Brisk It Origin 580 to cook without any special software? It does a great job. Instead of using trial and error to find the right temperature and cook time to melt a frozen pizza to perfection, we decided to leave it to the Vera AI system.
Brisk It offers an AI assistant called Vera that can help you cook just about any dish on your pellet grill.
The idea behind Vera is to have an inside-out resource for the Brisk It Origin 580, with recipes and instructions on how to cook different dishes on the pellet grill. I asked the Vera AI to help me grill a frozen pizza, and as you can see in the screenshot above, I got some easy-to-follow instructions for baking the pizza.
I followed all the instructions except for using a pizza stone because I had already packed my pizza stone and didn’t have one on hand. Walmart’s Marketside Ultimate Meat Pizza And then placed it directly on the grill. Note that these pizzas are not frozen, but I did put mine in the freezer after purchasing them.
I omitted the pizza stone part of the instructions and placed the pizza directly on the grate, and the results were delicious.
I’ll never bake a pizza in the oven again
The end result was a perfectly cooked pizza with a crispy crust that was soft and chewy in the middle, the toppings were nicely melted, and the cheese edges closest to the crust were crispy. Of course, all of these results can be achieved in a conventional oven. The added smoky flavor makes this pizza so much better than those made with that method.
I considered putting the pizza on earlier in the grill startup process, which would create a lot of smoke as the grill starts to spin up to temperature, but I decided not to for a couple of reasons. First, I wanted to follow Bella’s instructions and get a taste, and second, I was pretty busy and wanted to keep things minimal. If I put the pizza on first, I’d have to remove it when the smoke cleared.
Pellet grills can cook frozen pizza to perfection and add a smoky flavor that can elevate even the most basic store-bought pie.
I don’t know why it took me so long to realize that you can cook frozen pizza on a pellet grill, but I’m bummed at myself because I did! Not only did I love the way the pizza turned out, but my family loved it too! So the next time you want a quick meal with a little more flavor than a basic sandwich or oven-baked pizza, fire up the grill and give it a try.
