General indications for good cooking
6.5
It is not possible to say exact times and temperatures for food products
in general given the enormous variations they are subject to.
As regards in particular pizzas and similar products, the cooking time
and the temperature depend on the shape and thickness of the dough and
the quantities of the ingredients added to it. We therefore advise that a few
test runs are made, especially if you have never worked with this model of
oven before, starting out with a temperature of 250-300°C and bearing in
mind the following points:
1. generally with lower temperatures a better quality and more digestible
product is obtained, the oven is not subjected to particular stresses and
lasts longer, though the cooking times become longer.
2. With higher temperatures it is more difficult to obtain even cooking but
the cooking times are reduced.
3. Just after loading the oven it is normal for there to be a fall in the
temperature of the oven of as much as 20-30 °C. This should not be
considered a limitation of the oven but as a useful indication that at the
beginning of cooking the water in the raw dough is evaporating and
taking up a large quantity of heat. It is, however, always possible to set
a higher temperature so that the oven reaches the desired temperature
on loading. In any case if the oven is used within the limits of its
maximum capacity, the temperature will start to rise again towards the
end of the cooking time.
4. The oven has a maximum production capacity expressed indicatively in
the characteristics in Kg off product per hour. If this production capacity
is exceeded, the temperature of the baking chamber will fall even
beyond 20-30°C. In such a case the excess quantity should be
removed and you should wait until the desired temperature has
returned before any further loading.
Switching off
6.6
At the end of each working day set again both the temperature
regulators at STOP position and turn off the switch ON/OFF.
During long periods of idleness (e.g. closures for holidays) it is advisable
to switch off the main switch on the electrical feed panel.
