Domestic conventional (non-fan) oven
Without a fan, heat is often less even than in a fan oven, and the maximum temperature is far below a pizza oven's; pan and tray styles adapt to it more easily than high-heat round styles.

Heat behaviour
Often uneven, with pronounced hot spots depending on element placement
Preheat: 45-60 minutes recommended with a stone or steel

Required adaptations
- A preheated stone or steel adds the stored bottom heat the oven itself cannot provide
Safety
- A preheated steel is very heavy and retains heat for a long time after use
