6.6 General indications for good cooking
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 (chapter 3). 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.
6.7 Turning off
At the end of each work shift deactivate the heating elements by touching the
key
and switch off by pressing the switch
so that the writing "OFF"
appears on the display
.
If you want to use the programmed switching, deactivate the heating
elements by touching the key
, set the programmed switching and let the
oven on activity mode.
