Pizza-free cooking in pizza ovens from Witt?

Award-winning Scandinavian Witt’s Pizza Oven range has been impressing customers and publications like BBC Good Food, Ideal Home, and Independent since its launch earlier this year. 

With its stylish design and ultra-fast heating technology, the Etna Fermo Pizza Oven does more than render perfect pizzas. It does so much more, besides!

Geoff Johnson Sales Director and Pizza Guru at Witt UK & Ireland said: "The Etna Fermo Pizza Oven is fast heating and has a large cooking space meaning that not only can it produce perfect pizzas, it’s also great for roasting or searing meats, fish, vegetables as well as baking bread or delicious desserts.” 

“Firstly, I really recommend that you invest in a good quality cast-iron skillet, it can handle intense heat and will work perfectly for many dishes. But you should never food directly onto your pizza stone, or it could become saturated with meat fats and also smaller foods like vegetables need to be contained during the cooking process.”

Geoff’s favourite things to cook in a pizza oven other than pizzas?

Roast Chicken with Lemon, Garlic, and Herb Butter 

“My go-to for roast chicken is always lemon, garlic and herb butter - spatchcocking is a great way to reduce cooking time, and it’ll fit on a cast-iron pan in your Witt pizza oven.” 

Focaccia 

“Using pizza dough, garlic, Rosemary, salt, pepper and plenty of olive oil, you will have delicious homemade Focaccia in 30 minutes.”

Vegetables

“Even delicate vegetables such as tender stem broccoli can be cooked in your pizza oven. Most vegetables will benefit from a light coating of oil, salt, and pepper before you add them to the hot skillet. Keep an eye on them and make sure to turn them regularly. They really don't take too long to cook.”

(EDITOR: I feel turkey (perhaps breasts or wings?) and Christmas dinner vegetables would cook up nicely in a Witt pizza oven.)

Witt's Pizza expert reveals his top cleaning tips

The award-winning Scandinavian Witt’s Pizza Oven range has been wowing reviewers and customers with its ultra-fast heating and rotating technology since its launch earlier this year. And as the weather heats up, it’s a good time to give your pizza oven a clean so you can continue serving delicious homemade pizza all summer long.

Witt’s pizza expert has revealed his top pizza oven cleaning tips for pizza aficionados. Info below for editorial consideration.

“A quick brush down after every use to remove food scraps is usually enough, but after a busy summer season of pizza parties, a deep clean might be required,” says Geoff Johnson, who is the Sales Director, and Pizza Guru at Witt UK & Ireland.

“When you leave remnants of dough, cheese, and sauce behind on your pizza oven, your oven will be less effective the next time you use it, the dough is more likely to stick, and the result won’t be quite so good. I recommend keeping your oven clean so it’s always ready to go, perfect for those spontaneous pizza nights with family and friends!”

Step 1. Turn it up

“Once you have cooked your pizzas, keep the oven burning at full temperature for 30 minutes. This will turn any leftover food to ashes.”

Step 2. Allow to cool 

"Once your oven is fully cooled, you can use a brush, like the special, dedicated Witt Pizza Oven Brush, to sweep any ash from the oven. Then wipe out any remaining ash with a soft, dry cloth.” 

Step 3. Wipe the oven exterior 

"Use a soft damp cloth to clean your oven's exterior. Mildly soapy warm water will do but do take care to dry it immediately and avoid paint diluters, abrasive cleaning products or any harsh chemicals, and remember, if you leave your oven wet, it can result in rust developing.

Top tip: If you want to keep your pizza oven clean for longer, I suggest that you should invest in a Witt Pizza Oven Cover.”

Step 4. Cleaning the pizza stone

“The pizza stone must only be cleaned with water; soap will leave soap residue in the joints of the stone. Remember you must never try to cool the stone down with water when the stone is hot as it can cause cracks and breakage.”

Step 5. Enjoy perfectly cooked pizza every single time!

Making Pizza A British Dish With The Stone Bake Oven Company

With the recession hitting UK manufacturing hard, it’s more important than ever to buy British and support UK manufacturing.

The Stone Bake Oven Company, who have held their own amongst the recession, tell how wood fired pizza ovens made in the UK, are proving to be an investment during the current economic climate.

With hard times making everyone, regardless of income, reassess the way they spend their pennies, more attention than ever, is being paid to the origins and the quality of products on the UK market.

The Stone Bake Oven Company, who hand cast a range of wood burning pizza ovens in England, use a modern aggregate, sourced within the UK which utilises reclaimed materials. The result is a technically efficient wood fired oven, which heats up quickly and retains its heat for hours. A wood fired oven can be used to cook authentic Italian Pizza, specialty roasts, desserts, breads and just about anything else.

“It’s often a misconception buying quality means spending more money “, says Tom Gozney the company founder, “our ovens are some of the most competitively priced on the market, and we are proud to support UK manufacturing and labour.”

The Stone Bake Oven Company Dish Up FREE Wood Fired Food Recipes

As the wood fired cooking trend gathers momentum in the UK, some wonder if it’s a trend that is set to stay. The growing interest in wood fired cooking has seen The Stone Bake Oven Company, manufacturers of wood fired pizza ovens, dish out all the guidance you could need to make an informed decision when deciding whether or not to purchase your own wood fired oven.

Once being a ‘specialist’ method of cooking, reserved for Italian families and pizzeria restaurants, the wood fired oven industry experienced the ‘celeb effect’, with many celebrities purchasing wood fired ovens for themselves. This was mostly due to the authentic cooking flavours only a wood fired oven could achieve, and partially related to the excessive price-tag and prestige associated with such ovens, making them a ‘must have’ in the celebrity realms.

What subsequently followed was a new found interest in these wood burning products by the public, and so as the demand grew, the Stone Bake Oven Company catered to it with a range of high quality yet affordable wood fired ovens for the home and garden.

So is this new market trend a fad on its way through the market? Or is it set to stay?

Unlike other craze products to have come to market, which seem like a great idea at the time (cue yogurt makers, for example?) and ends up gathering dust in your home or kitchen, or cobwebs in the garden, a wood fired oven revives the oldest and most traditional method of cooking there could ever be, cooking on an open fire.

After all, cooking in this way dates right back to beginning of civilisation! So I suppose wood fired cooking isn’t a fad at all, it just seems to have been revitalised with some good TV promotion and some guidance and re-invention by companies such as the Stone Bake Oven Company.

If you’ve ever tried authentic wood fired food yourself, it seems you’ll know what the fuss is about, with the ability to roast, grill, bake and sear a wood fired oven can cook virtually anything, as well as original Neapolitan pizza in less than 90 seconds.

For everything you need to know about wood fired cooking, including some tasty FREE recipes, The Stone Bake oven Company have taken wood fired ovens from a ‘must have’ to a CAN have, with a range of affordable indoor and outdoor pizza ovens.

Is this the future of barbecuing in the UK?

(That's Food and Drink continues its Barbecue Week feature with this story from the Stone Bake Oven Company. Has the traditional barbecue had its day? Read on. And please let other readers know your opinion by commenting on the story.)

‘Out with the old BBQ and in with a wood fired oven!' Say many lifestyle magazines, and why not? With the ability to grill, roast, sear, bake and more, it seems the BBQ might be losing its charm as outdoor pizza ovens start to replace them in the market place for the ultimate al fresco dining experience. 

With the Stone Bake Oven Company proving how easy wood fired cooking can be, with online recipes, cook along videos, hints, tips and more, the fan base of pizza ovens seems to be growing.

Once seen as an expensive Italian luxury, the Stone Bake Oven Company feels it has now made these as affordable for every budget, with a range of stone bake ovens for sale, varying in size and for outdoor and indoor installation. The Stone Bake Oven Company are proving to be a one-stop-shop for ovens, wood fired accessories, advice, and stocks a range of iron cookware.

Thinking of junking the BBQ? The Stone Bake Oven Company feels this makes sense, a wood fired oven can cook a broader range of food items, act as an outdoor heater, meet the grilling demands of a BBQ and what's more, exceed them with exceptional flavours, too.

Tom Gozney is the company founder and expresses himself to be amazed at the popularity of their most affordable oven, the Primo, “it seems everyone wants one! They are taking the market by storm as they are both affordable and compact enough to fit virtually every outdoor space.”

By burning only wood, wood fired ovens are seen as a greener alternative to conventional cooking means, and appear to be a natural progression for alfresco dining in an increasingly green conscious world.
