Accepted Answer

Alfa ovens come in various sizes, with options to cook anywhere from one to five pizzas at a time.

Question 4

Are wood-burning ovens simple to use?

Accepted Answer

Alfa steel ovens are simpler to use than traditional refractory ones as you can manage fire more easily thanks to their compact structure that allows hot air to circulate inside them and to maximise heat while baking. In addition, the low weight makes them suitable for a variety of uses.

Question 5

Where can I install the Alfa outdoor ovens?

Accepted Answer

Virtually anywhere. The steel ovens come in a mobile version with casters for using them on the terrace, in the garden, then putting them indoors during the winter months. Our range also features small-sized models for smaller spaces, or to take along on your next holiday.

Question 6

What dishes can I make with an Alfa oven?

Accepted Answer

You can cook almost anything! Alfa ovens are perfect for Neapolitan pizzas, baking in just one minute at 450°C. They’re also great for bread, roasts, fish, veggies, and even desserts like puddings.

Question 7

How do I clean my oven?

Accepted Answer

Keeping your oven clean guarantees safety and better performances. Between two baking sessions just scrub the oven floor with a brush to remove food residue and burnt flour; for a deeper cleaning, let the oven cool and use a damp cloth to wipe burnt food away. Remove the ashes with a metal shovel when the oven has completely cooled down.

Place the base of the structure.

Question 9

How do I get my wood-fired oven ready for its first use?

Accepted Answer

To prepare your wood-fired oven for its first use, gradually heat it up to around 300°C. This helps to dry out any moisture and gently seasons the oven's refractory materials, ensuring top-notch cooking results.

Question 10

How can I light my Alfa oven?

Accepted Answer

Build a fire in the centre of the oven using some sticks of dry kindling then add some pieces of hardwood as the fire gets going. Then add some logs of about 5–10 cm in diameter to form enough embers.
Of course, the bigger the oven, the more firewood you will need to reach the cooking temperature. In the larger models, we recommend moving the fire all over the oven floor to heat it evenly. Use dry, seasoned hardwoods to avoid dense, black smoke that could ruin your dishes.
