TIPS FOR COOKING
Because this unit reaches very high temperatures, it can take
as lile as 60 seconds to 3 minutes for pizza to cook (it’s much
faster than tradional ovens). When rst using this oven, you will
need to check on the food frequently to ensure that it does not
overcook or burn. Opmal cooking mes and temperatures will
vary depending on the thickness, size, and recipe of dough.
1. When cooking pizza, it is advisable to use a long pizza peel.
Make sure your pizza has 50/50 our and semolina or
cornmeal under it so it will not sck to the pizza peel or the
pizza stone.
2. High heat cooks the best pizza. Please use PINNACOLO High
Temp Gloves that are made to withstand high temperatures.
When taking items such as hot pans out of the oven, the high
heat may damage the delicate material of normal oven gloves,
so make sure you have good quality insulated gloves like the
PINNACOLO High Temp Gloves (PPO-6-05).
3. When cooking meat, please place in cookware and/or
bakeware, that are made to withstand high temperatures (as
long as there is no plasc on handle or lid), before pung into
the oven and directly on the stone. Please note cookware or
bakeware with Bakelite or phenolic handles can melt.
4. As the oven gets very hot, it is a good idea when taking food
out to set it on an insulated table near the oven and allow it to
cool before bringing into the house.
5. The oven is also great for cooking; casseroles, sh, parmigiana,
vegetable dishes, friatas, meats, poultry and much more!
Virtually anything you cook in your home indoor oven you
can also cook in your PINNACOLO Thermal Clay Gas
Powered Oven.
IF THE OVEN COOLS DOWN TOO QUICKLY
1. The cause could be either from the rst starng or starng the
oven aer a long period of inacvity.
2. Avoid making a small or fast re that would not heat the oven
to capacity.
3. Verify that water and/or humidity have not inltrated the oven.
4. Verify that the burner is working.
IF THE OVEN DOES NOT COOK AS DESIRED
1. Check that the oven has reached the right temperature.
2. Make a re with approximately 15 to 20 minutes of high ame.
3. Ensure the oven maintains the desired temperature for the
duraon of the cooking me; use the door to adjust the heat
intensity as well as the ame adjuster: open and close the door
to raise or lower the temperature as necessary.
