Call me a liar, I really don't care.
I am VERY curious how so many people have trouble burning things with their oven when I don't and I've used mine a lot in the last 3.5 years especially in the winter when it's almost in daily use.
I did explain my oven was NOT assembled right when I bought my used RV. The oven had never been cooked in before. The insides were brand new looking. The parts were out of order. I removed them and put them back in the correct way. Matter of fact, I can't recall whether it's because I did burn the first thing I cooked or if I looked at the way the parts were in there and decided if I cooked in it, stuff would burn. But either way, it's a Magic Chef, it came to me all wrong, I fixed it right and since then nothing has burned.
I do make pizza often from scratch and I preheat the oven first. Trying to cook pizza without preheating the oven is pretty much guaranteeing you will burn it.
In my case, I am talking about home made pizza (well I often buy the dough premade but not frozen) but I have never made a premade frozen pizza in my RV oven, just the home made ones. It takes about 5 minutes to prep a home made pizza once the dough is ready and I've had frozen pizza before in the dark ages and it was horrible so I've never tried one since.
Also, I cook on the baking rack, not the metal bottom of the oven shelf which is right over the burner, which would surely burn everything.
Maybe the folks burning their stuff should look to see if their oven is put together correctly. Two if they are using the rack, and three if they are following the directions for whether their item needs preheating or not.
Most things baked in the oven do require that it be preheated. For some silly reason, a thermometer is not included with the oven. I bought one. It works. It tells me when the oven is preheated and it tells me the oven is cooking at the right temperature.
Maybe my oven isn't the only one that was installed with the oven parts all wrong. Maybe they had a batch of them assembled wrong. I thought it was really odd that mine was not assembled right.
