BUILDING THE ITALFORNI PIZZA OVEN

BUILDING THE ITALFORNI PIZZA OVEN

Italforni have been manufacturing commercial pizza ovens for over 30 years, employing craftsmen and the latest technology to supply pizza ovens from single deck to multiple deck in both gas and electric.

 Italforni pizza ovens are manufactured to exacting standards providing a highly reliable pizza oven for a very competitive price.  When you are looking to buy catering equipment such as  a pizza oven you need to make sure that it will give you years of reliable service, that the pizza oven will be easy to maintain and service and that you are able to get spare parts for your pizza oven if required.  It’s a false economy to buy a commercial pizza oven from a non established supplier as you may well find it’s impossible to get any technical support or after sales service if you buy from a less reliable pizza oven supplier.

Ask anyone who has bought an Italforni pizza oven – they won’t buy another brand, they know that this oven is one of the best pizza ovens money can buy.  Not only are they excellent value pizza ovens but they also are very stylish pizza ovens – ideal for open kitchens where the smell of freshly baked pizza comes wafting into the restaurant!  Take a look at the selection on the chefsrange website -  http://www.chefsrange.co.uk/shop-by-brand-italforni-italian-made-pizza-ovens-c-760_776.html

First American broiler supplied to Gordon Ramsays the Maze

December 1st, 2009

We are proud to have supplied the first American over fired broiler in the UK to Gordon Ramsays Maze Restaurant in London.

AMERICAN OVER FIRED BROILER

AMERICAN OVER FIRED BROILER

Whilst Gordon was filming the American version of Kitchen Nightmares, he encountered the ‘hotter than hell’ American over fired broiler which cooks steaks at 650 celsius! The intense heat sears the meat and is ideal for quick service restaurants.

The Maze was the first Uk restaurant to have an over fired broiler – since then broilers have been supplied to the O2 arena, ready for the ill-fated Michael Jackson tour. As well as cooking Gordon’s famous Kobe steak, it can also be used for ribs, chops and shellfish.

Best pizza oven for a commercial kitchen

October 26th, 2009
TKA2I TWIN DECK ELECTRIC PIZZA OVEN BY ITALFORNI

TKA2I TWIN DECK ELECTRIC PIZZA OVEN BY ITALFORNI

What type of commercial pizza oven should I buy ?

First and foremost if you buy anything …make sure it’s an Italian pizza oven (some manufacturers claim Italian design  – but they are made in China!!)

You’ll only get the true taste of pizza by buying one with a refractory stone base, this allows you to cook the pizza directly on the base – some people prefer to use pizza pans but the true pizza maker will always cook directly on the base.

Next you need to think about power – gas or electric?  The electric pizza ovens are the best sellers as they are competitively priced and you don’t have to worry about costly extraction systems.  It’s illegal to install a gas pizza oven without the full extract and safety cut out system, so factor this into your budget !!

If you’re starting off with pizza as a trial you may want to go for a small counter top pizza oven, but the most popular sellers are the twin deck electric ovens which cook 8  x 12” pizzas.
