Hello Mijomici It gets hot enough to bake a pizza. I have used our Pizzarette once. If you want you can buy it from me for half the price, it's still like new.
Unfortunately, I can't answer this because it is not possible to set the temperature. You plug the appliance in and it heats up because it has no switch. I have never measured the temperature and cannot find any information on this either in the instructions or on the Internet (only that the outside temperature does not exceed a certain value). But for us the temperature is OK, set 15 minutes in advance, then the first ones are ready to eat after maybe 8-9 minutes.
