Do you know why so many people can’t make their own pizzas? It’s not so much the materials (as they are not hard to find) and there are many good recipes available. It’s the cooking method which separates good pizza from mediocre and terrible tasting pies. In other words, like most things in life, you need the proper tools and this is why a wood fired pizza oven may be your best choice.
The Importance of Proper Temperature
Suppose you whip up a quick pizza recipe and shove it in your main oven in the kitchen. Even if you pre-heat the oven to as hot as it can go, it still won’t be the right temperature to make great pizza. When you buy pizza at a pizzeria, it is cooked at about 800 degrees Fahrenheit and the average home oven is capable of heating at around 500 degrees. This is only the beginning when it comes to problems with standard home cooked pizza.
Turning Up Your Heat
A wood fired pizza oven is designed to operate at very high temperatures. In fact, these ovens will give you the kind of heat you need to “wow” everyone when they bite into your fresh hot pizza. How is this possible? These ovens are specifically designed for burning wood and retaining and distributing the heat in the most efficient manner. In addition, they can give you the authentic taste of pizza cooked in an oven made from brick.
Portable ovens specially designed for pizza are not made out of brick. Instead, they have special ceramic material in the oven to give you all the benefits of brick ovens. Your new wood fired pizza oven is very easy to use and in no time at all, you can be creating some of the finest pizza in the neighborhood.
