OPEN DOOR COOKING
Open door cooking with a fire and flame is the most common method of cooking.
Fire needs oxygen to burn well. Cooking with the oven door open ensures the fire
will continue to burn well. Use this method for dishes that require higher cooking
temperatures, such as pizza.
CLOSED DOOR COOKING
Closed door cooking is used when cooking with lower temperatures such as bak
ing and roasting. Closing or partially closing the oven door helps regulate temper
ature.
For baking, allow the fire to die down and keep the door slightly open by approxi
mately 1-2” (3-5cm).
This will allow the embers to continue to glow and help maintain the temperature.
Avoid large flames when baking or roasting as a small flame with a good bed of
embers is preferred. For baking it is also recommended to place a small container
of water inside the oven to maintain the humidity.
Ensure this container is stainless steel, cast iron, terracotta or some other material
that is suitable for the high temperatures of the oven.

Wood fired ovens combine three different methods of cooking due to the design
and shape of the oven.
COOKING IN YOUR CLEMENTI WOOD FIRED OVEN
1. CONVECTION COOKING
As the roof is curved and the fire is on the left side of the oven, the flames curl up
and across the top of the chamber creating a convection-cooking environment.
Like most convection ovens this can result in reduced cooking times.
2. RADIANT COOKING
During the process of pre-heating your oven, heat is stored in the refractory bricks
of the oven. During cooking this heat is radiated back to the food cooking in the
oven.
3. CONDUCTIVE COOKING
Heat that is stored in the refractory bricks during the pre-heating process is trans
ferred to the food or dish during cooking. Pizza and bread are cooked from under
neath by sitting on the hot hearth. Other dishes cooked in a cast iron pan, skillet,
or terracotta pot are cooked from the heat transferred to the pan or pot, similar to
cooking on a stove.
