4.2 COOKING WITH RETAINED HEAT
The Hark Pizzeria can maintain high temperatures for long periods after cooking. It is always
advisable to take advantage of this retained heat, by utilising the oven to bake bread or cook
slow roasted meats. It may take some time for the oven temperature to drop to the optimal
level for baking or roasting. After which you may then be able to bake or slow cook for long
periods of time. To maintain the desired temperature once you have commenced baking or
roasting, add more wood one piece at a time, in order to avoid over heating the oven.
