Safety guidelines
Combusble guidelines
Pls keep children and pets at a safe distant at all mes. While operang your oven will
reach very high temperatures.
Always use protecve heat resistant gloves to handle tools and pots.
Never put your hand or arm into the oven when lit, unless you are wearing adequate heat
resistant gloves.
Beware of flying sparks from the mouth of the oven. Ensure that no combusble materials
are within range of your oven at any me.
Do not close the oven’s door while there is fire with flames inside the oven. Closing the
door will cut off oxygen to the fire, eventually causing a sudden fire erupon when the door
is removed and oxygen flows into the oven again.
Do not alter the oven in any way, it has been designed in order to opmize its safety and
funconality.
Do not burn rubbish or flammable fluids in your oven.
Always use natural untreated firewood, never pressure treated or painted wood such as old
fence posts. We advise that you try to use silver birch.
Do not use charcoal, pellets, chipped wood products or sappy wood such as pine within your
oven.
Never use any type of accelerant, such as petrol, paraffin or similar products. These are extremely
dangerous and can lead to explosions within your oven.
Benefits of cooking with fire
When cooking with fire is essenal to start by making a fire that allow the oven to reach high
temperature. Once the oven is heated the refractory brick floor becomes a radiator for the heat,
enabling food to cook from underneath as well as from above.
In your oven the fire and smoke will be drawn through the oven and across the food as it cooks,
adding an incredible flavour to your cooking. This is something impossible to achieve when cook-
ing by other means.
Heat will allow food to cook, while flames will roast it. The balance between the heat within the
oven and the flames present is the key to a perfect result.
Wood fired pizzas have a characterisc crispy base and slightly roasted toppings. This happens as
the refractory brick floor is very hot and flames are present within the oven. Carawela’s ovens
achieve very high temperatures easily (usually within 15 minutes), so you’ll be able to cook pizzas
extremely quickly (2-3 minutes), which means you can cater for a lot of people in a short period
and at a fracon of the cost of a barbeque.
Cooking meat, fish, vegetables or bread becomes easy once you mastered the balance between
heat generated by embers (allow for slow cooking) and flames (more intense heat that roasts).
Food suscepble of liberang juices (fish, meat, etc.) should be cook in deep ns.
