Why traditional?
Masonry
Your Le Panyol oven has substantial tiles on its floor, tiles which absorb the heat from the fire laid right on them.
These hot “sole” bricks give spring to the breads and such a firmly cooked bottom to the pastry of pies and tarts. Baked on the hot hearth, your food neither sticks nor dries out.
The crown of the oven has also absorbed a great amount of heat, and it will radiate this great heat down from the top, with the result that your bread and any food will cook efficiently and swiftly, leaving moisture in the middle.
Wood-firing
In today’s world, firing with wood is a responsible approach to sustainability
Well-fermented dough for pizza, flatbreads, or loaves, is laid on hot tiles, giving exquisite flavours to the crust with just a hint of wood-ash.
Pro bakers
Ovens to attract the professional baker.
They are strong in the areas that make a beautifully well-baked loaf. They feature the highest grade of floor tiles that give off a robust, yet gentle, heat as well as being long-lasting.
The kit comes with superior layers of insulation, both under the sole tiles as well above the crown.
Retained heat
During the firing cycle, the refractory masonry absorbs the heat. With the flames inside the baking chamber each major firing lodges a heat that bakers call “solid” heat deep into the bricks.
Having been fired hot, the oven is given a settling down period during which the very hot areas transfer their excess heat to the cooler extremities. When the heat is even, the cooking cycle begins.
This vast thermal mass enables deep and penetrating heat to be radiated in a powerful way without being scorching or shallow in its effect. Masonry radiates heat which is firm yet gentle when compared with the harshness of heat radiated by metal.
