How can I burn in the Valoriani Baby? Is it important?
Yes, this is quite important. We will explain how you can do it easily:
- Prepare a few small pieces of wood with a length of 20 cm and about 4cm in diameter.
- When the stove is fired for the first time, it should be around 100 degrees. For this, a small fire is enough. Let the fire burn at a moderate flame for a few hours.
- When only embers are left, close the oven door. The baby still keeps the heat until the next day.
- There will be condensation dripping from the dome. This is quite normal. On day three, four or five, it will stop dripping.
- The next day, start a small fire again and start at 150 degrees. After some time, put in a little more wood so that you reach around 200 degrees and hold for a few hours.
- Then increase another 50 degrees to 250 degrees and again hold the temperature. There will again be small drops of condensation dripping out of the dome.
- Also on the second day, after a few hours, when there are only embers in the oven, close the door. The heat dries the oven.
- On the third day, fire again to 200-250 degrees for a few hours. After some time, push in more wood again and heat up to 300 degrees.
- After the stove stops dripping it is ready for temperatures above 300 degrees. You will notice that as soon as the residual moisture has escaped, the baby's heat will increase again.
- So when water stops dripping, you're ready to go with Neapolitan Pizza.
