IN THE OVEN
Pizza ovens are becoming more popular for home entertainment areas and
Italoven offers a great range of pizza ovens to fit any entertainment area
or restaurant. A traditional wood burning oven can be used for cooking
pizza, vegetables, meat and fish dishes, and is the perfect substitute for your
conventional kitchen oven.
H
igh quality refractory material is used to construct these oven which can
reach a cooking temperature of 400-600°C, while keeping the external
walls cool to the touch.
The company was established in 1984, and is now building ovens for all the
major franchise groups, hotels and on behalf of catering companies. They
manufacture and install domestic and restaurant pizza ovens and design
domestic ovens, mainly for home use, but which can also be used in small
businesses as well. Industrial ovens are designed to operate 24 hours a day,
365 days a year.
Although they specialise in wood burning ovens, these can be converted to gas. Looking at
South Africa’s current electrical power situation, your business or home can have no power
on a critical period. With one of Italoven’s ovens you will always be capable to continue
running your business or prepare a hot meal for family and friends. Entertaining around
the oven is a great atmosphere, and because the cooking period in the oven is relativly fast,
it is very easy to control the time you want to eat.
The restaurant ovens are hand built on site, while the domestic ovens are supplied in a
DIY format. Installing one of the DIY units entails a little building work, but the necessary
installation instructions are supplied with the kit.
For peace of mind installation, Italoven can be contracted to install the oven. With offices
in the Western Cape and Gauteng, they service their clients across South Africa and its
neighbouring states. AD
