What should you pay attention to when buying a pizza oven?

Buying a pizza oven can be a challenge. This is because there are many factors to consider. It is important to choose a pizza oven that fits your specific needs.

Een houtgestookte of gasgestookte pizzaoven is alleen voor buitengebruik. Binnen ontstaat er koolmonoxide.

Why a pizza oven?

A pizza oven can be a valuable addition to your culinary arsenal.

Tasty Results:

A pizza oven, especially those fired by wood or gas, gives your pizza that distinctive flavor and crispy crust that is difficult to replicate in a regular kitchen oven.

Quick Preparation:

Pizza ovens reach much higher temperatures than conventional ovens, allowing pizza to be cooked in minutes. Ideal for quick meals or when you have guests over.

Versatility:

Not limited to just pizza. Many pizza ovens are capable of preparing other dishes such as bread, meat, vegetables and even desserts.

Conviviality:

Preparing pizza in a pizza oven is often a social activity. It creates a cozy atmosphere and provides a fun way to cook and enjoy together.

Outdoor Cooking:

Many pizza ovens are designed for outdoor use, allowing you to enjoy the nice weather while you cook. Perfect for summer gatherings.

Creative Freedom:

With a pizza oven, you have complete control over your ingredients and toppings. Experiment with flavors and create personalized pizzas to your liking.

Add Value to Events:

Whether you give a party, have a family meeting or just a pleasant evening at home, a pizza oven can become a central point and add an extra dimension to your event.

In essence, a pizza oven not only brings tasteful results, but also pleasure, creativity and a touch of Italian culinary tradition to your kitchen or outdoor space. It is not just a cooking instrument; It is a way of enjoying and sharing with friends and family.

Type of Pizza Oven

Wood -fired: Gives an authentic taste to the pizza, but requires more dedication and attention.

Gas fired: Easy to use with consistent results, but lacks the smoky taste of wood.

Electric: Easy to use and clean, ideal for use inside, but sometimes less crispy results.

Indoor vs. Outdoor Pizza Ovens

What suits you?

Within pizza ovens:

Compact and handy:
Temperature control:
Year -round use:

Outside pizza ovens:

Authentic taste experience:
Atmosphere and cosiness:
Fast baking results:

Ultimately, the choice between an indoor or outdoor pizza oven depends on your personal preferences, available space and the atmosphere that you want to create. Both options have their own unique benefits and contribute to the art of baking pizza in their own way.

Gas or wood?

Kies je voor een buitenoven, dan is de keuze tussen hout en gas vooral een kwestie van gemak tegenover beleving. Let daarnaast op een paar kenmerken. Het formaat bepaalt hoe groot je pizza kan zijn: 30 cm is gebruikelijk, grotere ovens bakken pizza’s tot 40 cm. Een draaiende pizzasteen zorgt dat de pizza gelijkmatig bakt zonder dat je hem met een schep hoeft te draaien. Een ingebouwde thermometer geeft de temperatuur van de lucht aan; de steen meet je met een infraroodthermometer. Een goed geïsoleerde oven is sneller heet en gebruikt minder brandstof.

Pizza oven brands

Een pizzaoven gebruik je jarenlang, en daarom is het goed om verder te kijken dan de prijs. Kijk hoe lang de garantie is en of er losse onderdelen te koop zijn, zoals een nieuwe pizzasteen, een brander of een beschermhoes. Een pizzasteen kan na veel gebruik barsten, en dan wil je niet de hele oven vervangen. Lees ook in de handleiding hoe je de oven schoonmaakt en of er onderhoud nodig is, bijvoorbeeld het bijstellen van de gasbrander. Zo weet je vooraf wat je kunt verwachten.

How do you fire up a wood-fired pizza oven properly?

A wood-fired pizza oven is a fantastic thing — but only if you fire it up correctly. Get it wrong, and an hour later you're still waiting for it to reach temperature, your first pizza is burnt on the bottom, and the top is still raw. That's not enjoyment, that's frustration. The good news: firing it up isn't an art form, it's simply a matter of doing things in the right order with a little patience. I'll walk you through it step by step.

Een pizzaoven kopen begint met de vraag hoe vaak en voor hoeveel mensen je pizza bakt. Voor af en toe een pizza voor twee is een compacte oven voor pizza’s van 30 cm genoeg. Bak je regelmatig voor een groep, dan loont een grotere oven of een oven die snel weer op temperatuur is. Let daarnaast op de brandstof, de opwarmtijd en of de oven een thermometer en een draaiende steen heeft.

Naast de oven zelf heb je een paar accessoires nodig: een pizzaschep om de pizza in en uit de oven te halen, een infraroodthermometer om de temperatuur van de steen te meten en een borstel om de steen schoon te vegen. Een beschermhoes houdt de oven droog als hij buiten staat. Zo gaat je pizzaoven jarenlang mee.
