Cooking Temperatures in a Wood-Fired Oven
Whether wood or gas-fired doesn't really matter; what's important is knowing at which temperatures various dishes succeed. Those who have the time and desire can harness the full energy of their oven, from 450 degrees to 100 degrees, every temperature can create a delicious dish. We have created a graphic for you on this.
Pizza in the evening, braided sweet bread in the morning
Your wood or gas oven is a versatile tool. From meat, fish, vegetables, cakes, bread to dried fruits, you can create anything you like with it. It all depends solely on the right temperature and timing to catch it. For this, you need to know your oven well and understand how much temperature it loses per hour. A Valoriani Baby, for example, loses only 10 degrees per hour on a mild summer night. So if you baked pizza in the evening, you'll easily have enough temperature left the next morning for rolls or a braided sweet bread for breakfast.
Feast from the Outdoor Kitchen
When you know your oven well, you know exactly which dishes turn out well, which roasters and pans are easy to handle and how long, for example, your roulades take. When to put in the vegetables and how long your chocolate soufflé needs. Once you have tried all of this over the course of the year, you can prepare your entire feast for Christmas, a birthday, or another occasion in your oven and have more time for your guests, as the oven takes a lot of work off your hands and does it quietly for you. Our blog offers you some recipes that will all succeed in your outdoor ovens, wood-fired ovens, or gas ovens. Feel free to send us your ideas.
