Maestro: Small but Mighty!

Fontana Forni has added a new member to its product family. Maestro is the name of the little one with great inner values. It is a portable gas-operated pizza oven. It makes a good impression everywhere, on the balcony, the terrace, and even while camping. To bake the perfect pizza with the Maestro, all you need is a gas bottle and you're ready to go. The Maestro heats up to over 400 degrees. The pizza can then be baked in two and a half minutes with the door closed. It can fit two pizzas side by side. If it remains in use for longer and several pizzas are baked, it stabilizes between 340 and 400 degrees. This makes it an absolute top model in its class. Even over a longer period, such as a cozy evening with friends, many pizzas can be baked in succession, and the Maestro retains the heat so that even a delicious dessert can be cooked in the oven. 

The Maestro can do more than just pizza. Essentially, it is an all-rounder. The temperature can be adjusted so that dishes that require less heat, like casseroles, antipasti, vegetables, or desserts, can also be prepared. We would only recommend a different oven for passionate bread bakers. It also serves as a great outdoor addition to the electric household oven. Sometimes you don't want food smells in your house or apartment.  With the regulator for the gas flame, it is child's play to find the right temperature. Outside, the oven reaches about 60 degrees when the inside temperature is 400 degrees. The excellent insulation made of ceramic fiber and the high-quality lacquered steel cladding make the Maestro superior to its competitors in this respect as well, as they get hot on the outside. The 2cm thick fireclay stones that fill the bottom of the Maestro are made in Italy, food-grade, and guaranteed free of toxins, unlike some products from the Far East. The fireclay stores the heat and releases it constantly. The bottom of the pizza also turns out crispy and crunchy without burning.

The Maestro is available in two sizes: 40 cm x 60 cm and 60 cm x 60 cm. For our videos, we used the larger version. To provide detailed information about the little high performer, we familiarized ourselves with it during a team lunch break. It heated up quickly, reaching 350 degrees in about 35 minutes, the pizza had a proper edge thanks to the high temperature, and the base looked good. We are thrilled and can highly recommend this great oven to anyone looking for an excellent entry-level model and those who value mobility and good quality.

We recommend working in rotation, meaning you place the first pizza more to the right on the stone. When you open the oven to turn the first pizza, place the second pizza to the left, and then the third pizza again to the right. This optimizes the heat distribution of the fireclay stone, as a pizza always brings some cold into the oven.
