COOKING ON A PIZZARO PIZZA OVEN
Special care and attention is necessary when cooking on a Pizza Oven to avoid contamination by smoke or soot.
All cooking accessories MUST BE THOROUGHLY CLEANED BEFORE USE.
·
Peels and Raking Tools are coated with vegetable oil during manufacture but may have gathered dirt and
dust therefore must be thoroughly washed in hot water and detergent, check all dirt is removed.
·
After cleaning and drying, pizza oven accessories are best lightly coated with vegetable cooking oil before
use. After use, they must washed clean with hot water and detergent and coated with vegetable cooking
oil before storing. NEVER USE MINERAL OIL.
·
If you do not coat with oil cooking accessories they will rust, this could happen after first use. If you wash
pizza oven accessories with water and don’t coat with cooking oil rust can occur in a matter of hours.
·
After use the surfaces of the cooking accessories in direct contact with the fire will be covered in black
carbon soot. Soot can be washed off with hot water and household detergent or washing up liquid. Be care
ful because black soot residues will mark surfaces, tea towels or washing up cloths. All soot must be re
moved before oiling and storage.
