The Numerous Purposes Of A Wood Fired Pizza Oven Investing in a wood fired pizza oven can transform your backyard into an inviting outdoor dining area, whether you like smoking meats, baking traditional breads or serving up yummy pizzas. These specially-designed electricity-free outdoor ovens doesn't just look beautiful, they are capable of producing the long-lasting, intense-but-even heat needed for authentic breads, crispychewy pizza crusts, flame-seared steaks, and slow-cooked BBQ. Although standard electric or gas ovens most often use convection heating (ambient hot air), the earthen or brick oven use a combination of effective convective chamber with hot stone walls and floors that offer the radiant and conductive heat that will be needed to get your food just how you want it. Even, Long-Lasting Radiant Heat As the name suggests, wood-fired ovens begin with a small fire that is allowed to burn for two to three hours before cooking begins. Heat from the fire is distributed around the walls and hearth of the oven. After the oven's interior has gotten to the temperature you want, the coals are going to be taken out and the oven's floor will be cleared of any debris, allowing the temperature of the oven to stabilize, before you placing anything in the chamber. In a well-built oven that utilizes heatabsorbent materials the radiant heat must be produced evenly from all directions. A wood-fired oven that's dome or arch-shaped within the chamber is built to get rid of any cool air pockets and guarantees uniform temperatures, along with an increase of the overall efficiency of the oven. As you learn how to use your outdoor oven you will find that by building up heat slowly you will be able to take advantage of the radiant heat stored within the oven walls for long periods of time. After your bread or pizza is done you should still have hours of heat for cooking anything from vegetables, meats, or casseroles, to cookies, pies, or puddings. The remaining heat can be used to dry out the wood that will be needed for your next cookout, once the oven is too cool for cooking but still contains a bit of heat. Use Direct Conduction For Crispy Crusts The hot floor of the wood fired pizza oven will provide different advantages compared to the wire racks of your kitchen oven: intense direct conductive heat. The fire that warms the walls of the outdoor oven to create radiant heat also warms the floor or hearth. When you place things directly on this hot surface, you'll produce instant conductive transfer. This is great for searing meats to seal in flavor or getting a golden crust on the fire-baked pizzas. Breads generally fare very well in fired ovens since instant heat transfer creates an airier, lighter loaf and intense temperatures drive moisture from the crust. The superheated steam released in the dough is then circulated in the oven, which caramelizes the sugars in the crust and creates the unique texture and flavor of authentic hearth-baked bread. Plus, you will be able to bake numerous loaves as thoroughly as one since the oven walls will radiate heat uniformly throughout the oven. DIY Charm You will notice that there's a huge selection of pre-built oven on the market, but there are also many retailers that specialize in providing easy-to-follow DYI kits. This type of kit will take a lot of the guess-work out of building the oven while providing you and the rest of your family to add personalized elements like local stonework, mosaic tiles or some other meaningful pieces.
