Cleaning the pizza oven - how to do it quickly and effectively?
It is worth remembering that it is not only the purchase and operation of the oven that is important, but also how we look after and clean it. Maintaining a pizza oven is a series of procedures that aim to keep it in the best possible condition for many, many years. So what should you do and what products should you use to make cleaning your pizza oven effective?
Which pizza oven to choose?
Purchasing a pizza oven is a priority if you have decided to set up your own catering establishment to serve this Italian speciality. When deciding on a particular appliance, various aspects must be taken into account to ensure that the oven meets all our expectations during operation. It is a key, most important piece of equipment for any pizzeria, thanks to which you will satisfy the taste buds of your guests. There are many types of ovens available on the market - single chamber ovens, double chamber ovens and through ovens, also known as tunnel ovens. So which type should you opt for?
Single chamber ovens are those that are great for establishments with smaller floor space, as they will not take up as much free space. These types of ovens are most commonly used in small pubs where pizza is one of many dishes and not a key item on the menu. They can also be found in holiday places, i.e. small bars that serve frozen pizzas and casseroles to their guests.
Two-chamber ovens are already suitable for slightly larger establishments, as they can bake up to a dozen or so pizzas at the same time. It is advisable to buy one with a transparent glass door for even better control of the baked pizza. This is a great solution for establishments that specialise in baking pizza and this is their main dish. The size of the oven allows pizzas of different diameters and shapes to be baked.
The last type, tunnel ovens, are made for large restaurants that want to bake their pizzas very quickly and in large quantities at the same time. They are very efficient, fast and, on top of that, allow food to be prepared at different temperatures during one baking session. They are great for large pizzerias that prepare hundreds of pizzas a day for their customers.
What to consider when deciding to buy a pizza oven?
Pay attention to how much space you can allocate to erect this equipment. If your premises are small, then unfortunately, purchasing a two-chamber or tunnel oven may not be possible due to lack of the necessary space. How it is built is also an important consideration - the construction should be durable and robust, made of high-quality materials that will withstand the elements. To ensure that your appliance will serve you for many years, it is worth ensuring that the maintenance of the pizza oven is carried out regularly and thoroughly.
How do you clean a pizza oven?
You should clean your pizza oven regularly, after each day's work, so that no malfunctions occur and the baked pizza is always of the highest standard. For cleaning, it is advisable to use high-quality detergents that will allow you to clean even the dirtiest areas and at the same time remove grease and crumb residues. Be sure to use safe and professional catering detergents to be guaranteed the highest quality and safety.
