Question of temperature

Wood-fired ovens are equipped with insulated lids that allow for both rapid heating and long-term heat retention. Their air ventilation system can be opened or closed at will by operating the chimney or oven door.

Quick cooking

Fast cooking in a wood-fired oven is made possible by its ability to reach very high temperatures, up to 350ºC. This allows you to put dishes in it for cooking in a very short time. Ideal for preparing a pizza recipe or cooking salmon and crozet gratin , meat...

Chef's tip:

Be careful to leave the oven open to let the smoke escape but also to better monitor the cooking.

Slow cooking

Slow cooking is ideal after making a quick recipe with a high temperature. It allows you to take advantage of this heat to let it cool down and then bake bread, sweet pies , and casseroles. Grandma's recipes are yours!

Chef's tip:

Most slow-cooking recipes are made with the door closed.

Smoking in a wood oven

Smoking food in a wood-fired oven is possible, and it's very easy. Here too, you'll need to take your time—up to 3 hours to prepare a smoked pork tenderloin , for example. Then 3 weeks before eating it. But it's worth the effort.

Chef's tip:

For smoking it will be necessary to make the flames disappear and close the door while leaving the gaps open.
