In this blog we’ll explain why cast iron pizza oven pans are the perfect cooking vessel for your winter warming dishes. As well as giving our top tips for prepping and cooking with cast iron. Let’s dive in!

Why Cast Iron is Perfect for Pizza Ovens

Igneus cast iron retains and distributes its heat effectively, and it can stand up to the intense heat of a pizza oven, whether that be a wood fired pizza oven, or a gas fired pizza oven. This ensures there’s absolutely no ‘hot spot’s which result in uneven cooking or browning. Cast iron is also super durable. It’s built to last. So, if you happen to have a ‘hand-me-down’ set of cast iron pans, use them! They’ll be just as good or even better than a brand-new set. That’s because they become more seasoned the more they’re used, meaning they develop a natural non-stick surface.

Finally, the versatility of cast iron is why they’re the true winner for use in pizza ovens. Whether you’re searing a steak, slow cooking a casserole, roasting a joint of meat or even baking bread, cast iron is the perfect material to use.

Tips for Prepping Your Cast Iron Pan

When you buy a new set of cast iron pans, it’s important to season them properly prior to using them for the first time. What seasoning essentially entails is curing a thin layer of oil onto the surface of the pan, ensuring your food doesn’t stick, and helping to prevent rust from forming. As the oil heats up, it bonds to the surface of the metal, a process called polymerisation. Here’s how to do it:

1. Wash and dry your pan
2. Rub it all over with oil and buff it out with kitchen roll or a t-towel (use unsaturated fats like vegetable oil)
3. Place your pan into a preheated pizza oven and leave for 30 minutes. The temperature of your oven should be around 250°C.
4. Take out of the oven and leave to cool
5. Repeat step 2 and 3, a few more times. We recommend 3-4 times.

Your cast iron pans are now ready to use!

What Can You Cook in Cast Iron Pans in a Pizza Oven?

We’ve already mentioned a few great options, and it’s true that the possibilities are endless, despite how cliché that sounds! From searing steaks and roasting vegetables to baking bread and frying eggs, cast iron’s excellent heat retention and even cooking make it a versatile tool for a variety of dishes. The high temperatures in a pizza oven allow you to achieve perfect caramelisation, crisp textures, and rich, deep flavours, and the cast iron’s durability means you don’t have to worry about damaging your cookware.

When searing or frying food using cast iron, it’s important to heat the pan before adding the food. That’s because it takes a while for the heat to permeate through the pan, and wouldn’t allow your food to develop a rich, caramelised crustation. When cooking stews and casseroles, you don’t need to worry about this, just add your ingredients to the casserole dish and place in a preheated oven. The long slow cooking will work its magic.

Maintaining and Caring for Cast Iron Pans After Use

In order to maintain the non-stick surface of your cast iron cookware, it’s important to season the pans after each use. Or at least every 2-3 uses. Once you’ve washed the pans after use, simply put them through one oil and heat cycle. This will ensure the pans constantly have a layer of curation and help to prevent them from rusting over time.

When cleaning cast iron, don’t use any harsh chemicals. Instead, use warm water with a little dish soap. Rather than using an abrasive brush, use a soft sponge. This will prevent the pans from losing their seasoning. Once you’ve washed your pans, always dry them using a t-towel straight away. Never leave them to dry naturally as this again can encourage them to rust.

When storing your cast iron cookware, choose a cool, dry place such as a cupboard inside your house. Try not to store them in an outdoor shed, as over winter when the weather is colder the moisture build up can lead to the pans rusting. If you stack your pans, it’s a good idea to put a cloth between them to prevent scratching the seasoned layer.

Final Thoughts

So, there we have it. All you need to know, and probably more, about cast iron pizza oven pans!

What’s the best kind of pizza oven for bread?

The good news is, any pizza oven, whether its wood fired, or gas fired is suitable for baking bread. The only exception to this would be a pizza oven fired using wood pellets such as the Ooni Fyra 12. This is because the heat is too inconsistent.

Making bread in a pizza oven is a fantastic way to achieve a crispy crust and a delicious, rustic flavour. Bread cooks at a lower temperature than is used for cooking pizzas, typically in the 200°C-250°C range rather than 450°C+. So, it’s ideal for when you’ve finished cooking your pizzas and the oven is cooling down. Or if you have a gas fired pizza oven, it’s easy enough to just set the temperature to the range you need right from the word go.

Top Tip

When you first launch the loaf into the oven, the temperature of the stone will drop slightly. It’s better to aim for a slightly higher temperature than your recipe states to account for this drop in temperature. To keep an accurate eye on the oven temperature we recommend using an Infrared Digital Thermometer Gun.

Types of Bread

To be honest, a pizza oven can pretty much simulate any kind of oven you’d normally use to bake bread. Of course, traditionally, bread is baked in a wood-fired oven. If you have a wood-fired pizza oven such as the Gozney Dome, Clementi, DeliVita or any of the Igneus range, your bread will be as traditional as it gets!

Bread that requires a higher heat such as Ciabatta, Sourdough and Baguettes are perfect for making in a pizza oven. This is because the intense open flames help the bread develop a crispy, golden crust while keeping the inside soft, light and flavourful. The consistent, radiant heat in a pizza oven also helps with the even rise and baking of the loaf. Even breads such as Naan and Flatbreads are great options as the pizza oven can mimic the intense heat of a tandoori oven which would be traditionally used for a bread such as a Naan. These types of bread cook incredibly quickly and often have a charred, crisp finish to them, much like a good pizza crust.

For bread that requires a lower temperature such as Whole Wheat Bread, Brioche or even sweeter alternatives like Banana bread, it’s important to cool the oven to the correct window first before launching the dough, as mentioned earlier. This is really easy but does require you to monitor the temperature gauge closely!

Adding Moisture

Adding moisture to the oven while your loaf is cooking helps develop a crisp crust by preventing the outer layer of bread from drying out too quickly. It also improves the springiness of the loaf as the steam allows the dough to rise quickly in the initial stages of the bake. Steam also helps to create that golden, almost glossy appearance to your loaf, rather than a dull and matt appearance if moisture wasn’t added.

There’s loads of ways to add steam into the oven. If you’re the proud owner of a Gozney Dome, you’re able to purchase the Gozney Dome Steam Injector. It is a black anodized aluminium funnel with a cork top, engineered to inject just the right amount of water into the oven and create steam. If you have a pizza oven other than a Dome, you will have to take a more manual approach!

For example, you can add a tray of water to the oven just before you launch the dough. Or add a few ice cubes into the oven on a tray if your recipe calls for a longer bake. This will prevent the water from evaporating too quickly. It’s important have the door of your pizza oven in place when using this method. Not only retain the heat of the oven more effectively, but also to lock in the steam.

Final thoughts

So, there we have it, baking bread in your pizza oven couldn’t be easier. Using the simple tips and tricks we’ve highlighting in this article will help you turn out world class loaves!

And of course, if you’d like to talk to any of our expert team, they’re on hand to offer advice every step of the way. You can get in touch on 01423 608648 or email in a question on sales@thepizzaovenshop.com. If you want to see our pizza ovens in action take a look at our YouTube channel.

Summer is just around the corner which means hopefully we will all be out in the garden making the most of the weather with our pizza ovens! Aside from getting your garden ready to enjoy, we’ve come up with some extra ways you can get the most out of your pizza oven this summer. When it comes to making pizza, some people believe that you only need a pizza oven, and you can make do with the utensils you have at home. We’re here to tell you those people are wrong! So, here’s our 5 must have pizza accessories to level up your pizza making game!

Perforated Placement Peel

The best placement peels have perforations designed in them. This is so the flour falls through the holes and aids in the pizza sliding off effortlessly into the oven. One of the downsides of not using a perforated peel, other than sticking dough, is that the excess flour used when stretching the dough can burn on the base of the pizza. Resulting in an acrid taste to your finished pizza.

Traditionally, pizza peels used to be constructed from wood which is often heavier and far more difficult to manoeuvre. Here at the Pizza Oven Shop we provide stainless steel and anodised aluminium placement pizza peels from a range of brands such as Gozney, Igneus and Ooni either individually or as part of a range of accessory bundles. You can find our range of placement peels here, but read on to discover what else you can find in our accessory bundles…

Buy Pizza Peel

Turning Peel

Turning pizza peels are ideal for turning a pizza around in a tight space, something which is incredibly difficult if using a placement peel to turn your pizza, especially in a smaller portable pizza oven. Round and small in diameter, turning peels are ideal for quickly reaching into turn a pizza cooking in high temperatures. As all of our pizza ovens cook at over 400°C, a turning peel is a must for safety reasons, but also to help ensure the finished pizza is the best quality it possibly can be.

Pizzas cook in as little as 60 seconds at these high temperatures, so having the ability to effortlessly turn the pizza as it cooks, ensures you don’t have one edge burnt and the other edge undercooked. Also made with stainless steel, your accessories can blend into any colour décor making it a must have addition to your outdoor kitchen.

Buy Turning Peel

Infrared Digital Thermometer

Depending on whether your pizza oven is wood or gas fired, your pizza oven can typically expect to exceed 350°C as an absolute minimum. More often, pizza ovens can reach temperature capacities of 500°C and over. Because of this extreme level of heat, many of our pizza ovens have inbuilt thermometers for you to measure the internal air temperature of the oven. For our more precise pizza aficionados, we don’t like to leave anything to chance. Introducing the infrared digital thermometer!

No longer will you have to worry about whether your pizza oven is ready to perfectly cook your pizza as you can simply point the gun towards the pizza oven and pull the trigger. We find this works best by pointing the laser at the pizza stone rather than the oven itself. This will advise you on whether you need to crank up the fuel and give your pizza oven longer to heat, particularly where wood fired pizza ovens are concerned. Nobody loves pizzas with a soggy bottom! As the digital thermometer can detect heat ranges between -50°C to 750°C you will know precisely the right time to launch your prepared pizza. This can be measured in Celsius or Fahrenheit depending on your preference.

What Is a Wireless Meat Thermometer?

A wireless meat thermometer is a gadget that has revolutionised the way we monitor the internal temperature of meat and fish. Unlike traditional thermometers that require you to constantly check the temperature manually, a wireless meat thermometer frees you from this tedious task. This is by providing real-time temperature readings remotely. It consists of two main components. A probe that you insert into the meat and a digital display or smartphone app that communicates wirelessly with the probe. This allows you to monitor the internal temperature of your meat from a distance. Giving you the flexibility to attend to other tasks or socialise with your guests without worrying about overcooking or undercooking your food.

With a wireless meat thermometer, precision cooking becomes effortless. You can set custom temperature alerts to notify you when your meat reaches the desired level of cooking, whether it’s rare, medium, or well-done. This ensures consistent results every time, whether you’re roasting a prime rib or whole seabass in your pizza oven. All you have to do is insert the thermometer into your food, set the temperature in the app on your phone, and then sit back and relax! It really couldn’t be easier.

What are the Main Differences from a Traditional Meat Thermometer

When comparing wireless meat thermometers to traditional alternatives, several key differences emerge. Each of which contribute to a more seamless cooking experience.

Freedom of Movement

Unlike traditional meat thermometers that require you to stay close to the oven or grill to monitor the temperature manually, wireless thermometers provide freedom of movement. With a wireless thermometer, you can step away from the heat source and engage in other tasks. All the while still keeping an eye on the cooking progress.

Remote Monitoring

Traditional meat thermometers typically feature a dial or digital display attached to a probe. This requires you to physically check the temperature. In contrast, wireless thermometers offer remote monitoring capabilities. By connecting to a smartphone app, you can monitor the temperature of your meat from a distance. Particularly useful for outdoor cooking, especially in the colder months when you might want the wood fired taste on your roast meat and fish, but don’t want to have to spend too much time outside in the cold.

Precision and Consistency

Wireless meat thermometers often boast advanced features such as pre-set cooking temperatures and customisable alerts. These features enhance precision and consistency in cooking. Ensuring that your meats and fish are cooked to perfection every time. By eliminating guesswork and providing real-time temperature readings, wireless thermometers allow home cooks to achieve restaurant quality results with ease. When cooking with high temperatures that can be achieved in a pizza oven, it’s all too easy to overcook meat. Especially fish making it dry and often tough. With a wireless meat thermometer this is seldom the case.

Cooking Guide & Key Temperatures

To ensure accurate readings and optimal cooking results, follow these simple steps for inserting the probe into the meat or fish:

1. Insert the probe into the thickest part of the meat or fish. Do this away from bones, fat, or gristle, as these can affect the accuracy of the temperature reading.

2. Insert the probe into the meat at a slight angle to ensure it reaches the centre while still leaving enough space for juices to flow around it.

3. Make sure the probe is securely inserted. However, avoid pushing it too far as this can affect the accuracy of the reading.

Beef or Lamb

Pork

Chicken

Fish

It’s important to rest both meat and fish once you’ve taken it out of the oven. This allows the protein to relax, and continue cooking residually. This resting time varies depending on what you’re cooking. Around 10 minutes for fish is fine, and 15-20 minutes for most meat is ideal. However, for larger joints, resting for 30+ minutes is also perfectly acceptable.

Our Recommendation

So, with all this talk of Wireless Meat Thermometers, which do we at The Pizza Oven Shop actually advocate and recommend you buy? The simple answer is the Meater 2 Plus Wireless Smart Meat Thermometer. It’s equipped with Bluetooth 5.2 Coded PHY Long Range and can monitor temperatures of up to 550°C. This is particularly useful for use with pizza ovens as it can be left in the meat/fish over an open flame while cooking and searing.

Conclusion

We hope you found this article useful! A wireless meat thermometer is the ultimate accessory, especially alongside your beloved pizza oven. With precise temperature control, it ensures perfectly cooked meat and fish, every time. So say goodbye to guesswork and hello to culinary perfection!
