Until recently, pizza restaurants were absolutely the go-to places for eating a tasty, delicious pizza, but in recent years a growing number of gourmet lovers have decided to try their hand at home baking pizza, thanks to the higher quality of the ovens available on the market.
Therefore, outdoor ovens have become increasingly popular, as they are able to achieve the closest baking results to heavy-duty ovens.
Gas ovens in particular are easy to ignite and control, require less monitoring, and are also increasingly spreading in the catering world.
These types of ovens are usually small-sized enough to be placed on a small table, a balcony, or even brought on a day out at the campsite.
They are usually mounted on a three- or four-legged support frame, so that they can be secured on any raised surface. They feature a single oven chamber, where both combustion and baking take place.
The chamber vault structure is dome-shaped, while the metal baking board assembly consists of square or rectangular stone, made of refractory material to retain heat.
An outdoor pizza oven requires a lot of maintenance, from cleaning to protection from the elements.
The main elements that need to be cleaned regularly are the oven chamber and the baking stone in refractory, the latter in particular can be conveniently removed to make cleaning even easier.
Another important element to consider for maintenance will be to find a place for storage where the oven does not get ruined, since it is a product whose use is not done on a daily basis.
The best temperature and weather resistant material is stainless steel, although the best choice for product protection is to store it indoors.
Gas ovens for a single pizza serving are also suitable for achieving excellent baking results when preparing other foods besides pizza: bread, potatoes, biscuits and roasted meat. This is why it is always recommended to use pots and pans built from cast iron which can resist very high temperatures.
