How to bake a pizza cooked to perfection? The secret is all in the oven.<\/strong><\/p>\n At one point or another you probably kneaded flour, water and yeast, waited patiently for the dough to rise overnight, seasoned it with excellent quality ingredients and then baked a disappointing pizza, perhaps because it burned at the base and hardly cooked inside.<\/p>\n In these cases it\u2019s the pizza oven that makes the difference.<\/strong><\/p>\n In just a few minutes of cooking, the dough must be able to become crispy on the outside and soft and moist at the right point on the inside; without forgetting that the condiment must be ready in the same period of time that it takes to cook the base.<\/p>\n In order to allow you to prepare a pizza at home as good as that of your favourite restaurant, Alfa researchers have designed the Heat Genius\u2122 technology<\/strong> thanks to which the sauce cooks at one temperature, the dough at another, with the result that each pizza is cooked to perfection.<\/p>\n And since there isn\u2019t ever enough good beer to save a burnt pizza, let\u2019s learn more about how it works and all the benefits of using Alfa home ovens with Heat Genius\u2122 technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n In this article we will look in detail at:<\/p>\n Even if at first glance they may look similar, pizza ovens are not all the same.<\/p>\n Often domestic ovens, especially inexpensive ones, are nothing more than poorly insulated metal boxes made of low-quality materials, that have a hard time keeping the heat inside the cooking chamber<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This results in burnt doughs, undercooked condiments, and ovens that don\u2019t allow you to bake more pizzas in succession, where the outside parts tend to overheat during cooking.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This doesn\u2019t happen with Alfa ovens: the extensive artisan experience in processing and high quality raw materials used, combined with the most innovative technology, give rise to domestic pizza ovens<\/a><\/b><\/strong> that are not only well-designed, but also capable of providing professional results even at home.<\/p>\n Alfa, in fact, provides technological solutions for the home environment which up until recently were reserved exclusively for the world of restaurants and pizzerias.<\/p>\n In particular, Heat Genius\u2122 technology allows you to cook the pizza base and condiments at different temperatures<\/strong> to make pizzas that are always tasty and fragrant.<\/p>\n This is because the heat is slowly released from the refractory stone and irradiated evenly throughout the curved walls of the oven<\/strong> making the dough crisp without burning; while the condiments cook faster releasing part of their moisture, thus reaching the perfect balance.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In particular, there are three elements that make the Heat Genius\u2122 technology so powerful:<\/strong><\/p>\n Let\u2019s look at these elements in detail.<\/p>\n HeatKeeper\u2122 refractory stone embodies all the craftsmanship and experience of the finest Italian workmanship.<\/p>\n Made in the Alfa factory in Anagni, this particular refractory stone absorbs and stores heat much better than lava stone or ceramics, materials usually used in common pizza ovens found on the market.<\/p>\n Thanks to the HeatKeeper\u2122 refractory stone, the base of Alfa ovens quickly cooks your pizzas making them crisp and soft at the right point.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> A good pizza oven to be defined as such must be well insulated and must not disperse heat externally.<\/strong><\/p>\n In Alfa ovens, the space between the stainless steel walls is filled with a special insulating material: the<\/strong> DoubleDown Ceramic Superwool\u00ae.<\/strong><\/p>\n This ceramic fibre offers twice the heat resistance<\/strong> provided by common stone wool, which is normally used for domestic pizza ovens.<\/p>\n This type of insulation allows Alfa ovens to better maintain the heat inside the cooking chamber<\/strong>, thus enabling you to have consistently well-cooked pizzas with considerable fuel savings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Domestic pizza ovens typically release the heat accumulated inside the cooking chamber through the flue above the oven dome.<\/p>\n This means that a large part of the heat generated by the combustion is dispersed outside through the hole of the flue with an \u201cup and out\u201d mechanism.<\/p>\n This is not the case with Alfa ovens, thanks to the patented Full Effect Full Circulation Flue System\u00ae.<\/strong><\/p>\n This technology means that the hot air circulates in the cooking chamber and is pushed down by a special conveyor so as to further heat the refractory stone and cook the pizza better.<\/strong><\/p>\n The device that pushes the heat \u201caround and down\u201d ensures that the oven consistently maintains the right temperature so as to be able to cook in a perfect and homogeneous way, both the pizza base and its condiments.<\/strong><\/p>\n The heat will only come out of the cooking chamber when you decide to open the oven door.<\/p>\n When opening the door, in fact, a special deflector will convey the heat upwards towards the flue<\/strong>, and not towards the pizza maker, so as to be released outwards.<\/p>\n Alfa pizza ovens combine technology, performance and aesthetics.<\/strong><\/p>\n Even the smallest component is made to consistently offer you the best cooking results and maximum safety<\/strong>, with a keen eye on design.<\/p>\n Thanks to continuous innovation processes<\/strong>, Alfa home pizza ovens offer professional performance such as lighting speed and precision in the various cooking processes.<\/p>\n One need only think that 500\u00b0C can be reached in just 10 minutes and 2 can cook a pizza<\/strong>, thus reducing fuel costs and your guests\u2019 waiting time.<\/p>\n But what differentiates Alfa Heat Genius\u2122 ovens<\/strong> from the many commercially available models?<\/p>\n Let\u2019s have a look at each one.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In order to cook a pizza in a few seconds, the oven must be capable of reaching very high temperatures, even up to 500\u00b0C.<\/p>\n This means that the oven must be able to withstand the heat produced during combustion<\/strong> without being damaged in any way.<\/p>\n This is why the cooking chamber of an Alfa pizza oven is made with two different types of steel with a high thermal resistance:<\/strong><\/p>\n In this way, the Alfa oven cooking chamber exploits all the advantages of the dome\u2019s stainless steel and the refractory stones by better retaining the heat. Thus giving its maximum potential during the cooking of the pizza, or other dishes, and lasting longer over time.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is no coincidence that the top part of wood burning ovens has always been made in a spherical way. <\/strong><\/p>\n The particular shape of the dome, in fact, enables optimal movement of the air so as to distribute the heat<\/strong> inside the cooking chamber, allowing it to reach high temperatures and keep them constant during cooking.<\/p>\n The Alfa Research and Development team has studied this particular characteristic of wood burning ovens with the aim of improving it and bringing it to a higher level of efficiency.<\/p>\n This is how the OptiDome dome was created. A flattened semi-sphere design capable of maximising circulation and heat flow<\/strong> inside the cooking chamber.<\/p>\n Its particular shape allows the Alfa pizza oven to heat up quickly and to maintain constant temperatures for consistent<\/strong> cooking.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Alfa Heat Genius\u2122 pizza ovens are built with two layers of powder coating,<\/strong> made in seven stages in order to reach the final result.<\/p>\n This allows Alfa ovens to better withstand weathering, last over time and offer maximum functionality and ease of cleaning.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thanks to the \u201cReady Already\u201d technology, Alfa ovens are able to reach the right temperature so as to cook the pizza even faster<\/strong>, thus also reducing the time required to warm up again between pizzas.<\/p>\n In this way, all your guests can eat together, avoiding embarrassing waiting time between one pizza and the next.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Alfa gas ovens are equipped with Heat Genius\u2122 technology<\/strong>, nothing is left to chance<\/strong>, not even the smallest detail.<\/p>\n This is why they have a special Sidefire system so that the Alfa burner<\/a><\/b> is found on the side of the oven<\/strong> and never on the bottom, as is the case with most ovens on the market<\/p>\n If the burner is located in the innermost part of the oven, in fact, part of the heat would be released from the mouth, thus greatly reducing the thermal efficiency of the instrument.<\/p>\n Thanks to Alfa\u2019s Sidefire system, the heat is free to flow throughout the combustion chamber<\/strong>, circulating freely to offer you a better performance in terms of pizza cooking.<\/p>\n This translates into high performance and lower consumption<\/strong>, proving to be a concrete solution also for the protection of the environment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> The constant research and development work to excel in both functional and aesthetic design of all components has led Alfa to create pizza ovens capable of responding to any need<\/strong> regarding size, fuel and style.<\/p>\n In fact, all Alfa ovens have in common the Heat Genius\u2122 technology<\/strong>, but you can choose between wood, gas or hybrid power, different sizes based on the space available and the number of pizzas to be cooked and 3 well-defined stylistic lines:<\/p>\n All three lines allow you to furnish outdoor spaces with style to be shared with friends; experiencing gardens, terraces and balconies in a new manner. Let\u2019s have a look at them together!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Characterized by a refined and timeless design, this line manages to combine traditional lines and technological innovation.<\/strong><\/p>\n The rounded dome and the stainless steel front are the ideal combination in environments dominated by a classic style, yet where you don\u2019t want to give up the high cooking performance.<\/p>\n The \u201cClassic Line\u201d includes the following Alfa pizza ovens: 5 Minuti<\/a><\/b><\/strong>, 4 Pizze<\/a><\/b><\/strong> and Dolce Vita<\/a><\/b><\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The choice of colour and the high quality of the internal components ensure functionality, robustness and aesthetics without compromise.<\/strong><\/p>\n Smoother lines, contemporary Italian design and all the Heat Genius\u2122 technology lend themselves to characterize younger and more dynamic spaces thanks to the following Alfa ovens Nano<\/a><\/b><\/strong>, Ciao<\/a><\/b><\/strong>, \n
