Thank you Clive! Your videos have been a huge inspiration to so many in the Wood Fired Oven community, us included!

What a wonderful presentation. Demonstrating the whole oven life-cycle and the different cooks that can be done was fascinating. Great production values too! Really looking forward to more of these in the future.

The beauty of this video is in the relaxed, encouraging way you share the potential of the oven beyond pizza (and round pizza at that!). Ben's questions were our questions and really grateful you asked them! It makes me feel like I can do this!!! I"m on the last few courses of a brick oven not unlike what your design is and I'm excited - even more now - to get cooking!! Thank you for this!!

Well done you two. Beautiful steak and this is probably a little late but to leave the steak until room temperature is: 1 - So the meat can spring back from the cold. Putting in the fridge/freeze will contract everything and make everything tight, so cooking at room temp allows the meat to come back to full body and get that juicy tender texture back. 2 - Imagine how much water has gathered and compacted on and in the steak while frozen, you don't want that so allowing time will help evaporate some of the frozen water, then at room temp you can dry off or blotting the steak before cooking. No2 is the more important one of the two. Again, great video.

If I may make a suggestion,I put my chicken breast side down for the first 20 minutes and then turn. It usually comes out really moist and doesn’t dry out. Please bear in mind I’m Michelin chef. This was the way my mum used to do it. You are both very inspiring people and you impart your knowledge in a casual but effective way. Thanks Chris.

Oooh sounds delicious! Will be something I try next time for sure!

When doing a bulk pizza night i have found that putting each pizza on baking paper works better than using semolina. That allows you to prepare all of the pizza's in advance each on a sheet of baking paper. When cooking just slide the baking paper on to the paddle and it slides off easy into the oven. After 20 seconds cooking the pizza base has firmed enough where it separates easy from the baking paper. Simply take the pizza off the baking paper and then put the baking paper in the fire.

@TheFireBrickCo

Great tip! I've seen that done before and it works well - the paper burns around the pizza but not under it. We will be doing a video soon on various ideas to make life easier when you're having a big pizza party, thanks for the input!

Great fun watching you two cooking, the only thing I would say is not to wash your chicken, it's not necessary and actually it increases the risk of cross contamination by splashing other surfaces with contaminated water so you would need to make sure you wash everything down afterwards, also remember that almost all poultry will be contaminated with campylobacter and or salmonella so please make sure you wash your hands thoroughly after prepping your chicken. The reason chefs take their meat out of the refrigerator before cooking is so that its not really cold when you start the cooking process otherwise the outside will cook and the inner core will still be raw which will result in a dry piece of meat and the risk of harmful bacteria may still be present and viable. I was actually considering buying and shipping one of your ovens over to Kalkan in Turkey but unfortunately the shipping costs make it too expensive for me. I have worked as z chef for the last forty odd years and now I'm looking forward to retirement in Turkey with my wife but I plan to have my own wood fired oven and learn a new method of cooking so please keep the videos coming.

Hi Tim! Thankyou for the very thoughtful and well written response, that is much appreciated! Very good advice on the chicken - don't worry we definitely washed our hands.

I think he meant infused. Impregnate is what I did to my wife and now she is a headache. 😆 Great video guys. I love the design of the ovens! I've had to settle for a Matador oven for cost reasons but it doesn't offer retained heat as these ones would and so I miss out on some of the other dishes that are possible. As for steaks or meat being brought to room temperature, this is really just for a more even cook. With a hot grill, the outer will obviously cook quicker and possibly burn the meat without the internal part coming up to desired temp.
