One countertop plate that makes pizza, quesadillas, and omelettes
“Proven-seller pick. The real argument is not that it makes better pizza than an oven, it is that it makes a pizza in six minutes without turning your kitchen into a sauna in August.”

The Chefman Everything Maker is a 1440-watt countertop cooker with two 12-inch nonstick plates that close over the food and heat from both sides. It reaches pizza-oven-adjacent temperatures fast enough to cook a personal pizza in a handful of minutes without preheating a full oven, and because both plates heat, it also handles quesadillas, omelettes, flatbreads, and reheated leftover slices that would go soggy in a microwave. The clamshell design means it stores on end in a cabinet rather than eating a full shelf, and the nonstick surface wipes clean instead of needing a stone brushed out. Best fit: apartments and dorms where running the oven for one pizza is not worth heating the whole kitchen.
Pros
- Cooks a personal pizza in minutes with no oven preheat
- Both plates heat, so quesadillas and omelettes work as well as pizza
- Nonstick plates wipe clean rather than needing a stone scrubbed
- Stores upright on end instead of taking a full cabinet shelf
Cons
- The 12-inch plate caps you at personal-size pizzas, so it will not do a family pie in one go

Frequently asked questions
Can it cook a frozen pizza?
Yes, though thicker frozen pizzas take longer and can brown on the outside before the center is hot. Thin-crust frozen pizzas do best.
Does the crust actually crisp or does it steam?
Direct contact with the heated bottom plate crisps the base. It is closer to a pan-fried crust than a stone-baked one, which most people find is a fair trade for the speed.
What else can you actually make in it?
Quesadillas, omelettes, flatbread, naan, cinnamon rolls, and reheating leftover pizza slices are the most common uses beyond fresh pizza.
Are the plates removable for cleaning?
The plates are fixed nonstick surfaces that you wipe down after they cool, rather than removable dishwasher-safe inserts.
