In recent years, the use and purchase of outdoor gas pizza ovens by professional and hobby pizza makers has gained increasing popularity due to the advantages these products offer over classic wood-fired ovens.
One of the reasons for the popularity lies in the fact that today's gas oven models are designed to meet the need of some users to place the oven on less-practical and non-functional spaces, such as balconies and patios.
A gas-fired oven can be the ideal solution for ease of assembly and set-up and practicality of use.
But is the taste of food different compared to wood-fired ovens?
A question most users ask before purchasing: the answer is no, or at least not for short cooking times such as those for pizza.
In fact, that typical wood-scented aroma can only be released during long and prolonged cooking.
Gas ovens offer numerous benefits over wood-fired models due to their ease of use and efficiency. In addition, gas-fuelled ovens allows for more precise and accurate temperature control thanks to the heat valves which adjust the amount of gas supplied to heat the baking chamber.
The strengths of the gas-fuelled type are undoubtedly its cost effectiveness, user-friendliness and speed in reaching high temperatures.
In general, it is fair to say that this appliance is ideal for cooking pizza and baked goods that require cooking temperatures of above 220°C, whereas for the preparation of leavened pastries, cakes, biscuits, but also soufflés and cream puffs, an electric oven is better suited.
The stainless steel body construction of gas ovens makes them extremely durable, as well as undoubtedly aesthetically pleasing.
The cordierite baking board (refractory brick) provides even heat distribution, for optimised pizza cooking. The stainless steel grid and tray for grease recovery also make it possible to also cook meat, vegetables and sweet baked products. They can be installed both outdoors and indoors, making them extremely versatile.
