You’ve observed wood-fired ovens whilst enjoying your travels in Europe and you may even relish the food theatre that grilling with a solid wood oven creates in your nearby pizzeria,but how does a hardwood fired pizza oven function? Talk to us at -
Cooking with a wood-fired pizza oven is essentially much simpler than you may imagine. All you really need to do is to light a very good fire in the centre of the oven and then let it to heat up both the hearth of the oven and the inner dome. The heat you create from your fire will be absorbed by the oven and that heat will then be radiated or convected,to allow food to cook.
Once you have your oven dome and floor up to temperature,you simply push the fire to one side,applying a metal peel,and start to cook,using real wood as the heat source,rather than the gas or electricity you may usually rely on. Of course,there are no temperature dials or controls,other than the fire,so the addition of real wood is the equivalent of whacking up the temperature dial. If you don’t feed the fire,you let the temperature to drop.
