Many people are using ovens of a non-traditional design made from steel or cast iron. Just like traditional masonry oven they are incredibly versatile but require different handling. This class explores the differences and demonstrates how to get the best from these modern designs.
This class is suitable for owners or prospective owners of Morso, Alfa, Maximus and Clementi ovens amongst lots of other brands.
We’ll use an Alfa 4 Pizze and a Morso Forno to demonstrate the full versatility of these contemporary wood-fired ovens and to give you as complete a picture as possible of how to get the best from your own oven and enjoy it fully at home.
What one of our students had to say about coming on the course –
“Thank you for a great day on Saturday. I learned so much. I am actually firing my Morso up as I email you with the intention of cooking our dinner tonight and try a loaf for the first time. As I mentioned to Holly, I truly believe the course is invaluable for anyone who has a wood fired oven.”
Wood fired ovens are perfect for pizza but can also do so much more. We’ll show you how to use them in many ways –
- Flatbreads – pizza and more; making dough, shaping, topping and baking
- Fish -hot-smoked salmon, scallops roast in their shells
- Meat – grilled lamb, chicken breast with Parma ham & basil
- Vegetarian – vegetable curry, roast potatoes, grilled vegetables.
- Pastry – Spiced Apple Empanadas
- Bread – Burger rolls
Using your oven to maximum effect takes a little getting used to and we’ll discuss many aspects of use:
- How the oven works
- Siting your oven
- Wood selection
- Lighting and heating the oven.
- Measuring and controlling temperatures
- Cooking utensils and other equipment
