pizzazz pizza oven

2010-03-12 by Henry Liu

Has anyone tried a Presto Pizza Maker for reflowing:

It seems like a good possibility for something would work for pcbs.

My serious gripe has always been the preheat time and cool down time.
Commercial ovens use infrared which is a lot more efficient than
waiting for coils to heat up in an oven.  The presto unit claims no
preheat.

I think this pizza maker thing has a good chance at working out
because I really like the top open view.  You can just see when the
solder has reflowed and stop the motion.

Walmart sells them for $45 so I bought one and will try it out.  If it
doesn't work out, easy returns.
