Pyrometer Thermostat 500°C for Wood-Fired Oven Alfonso Forni

Pyrometer for wood-fired oven - calibrated at 500°, an ally in baking your pizzas

The Pyrometer Thermostat 500°C for Alfonso Forni' s Wood-burning Oven is an essential tool, designed specifically for fans of traditional cooking with a wood-burning oven. This bimetal device transcends the simple function of a thermometer; it is a true ally for the precise management of the temperature inside the oven cooking chamber. Its importance is not merely incidental, but is rooted in its ability to transform the art of wood-burning cooking from an activity based on intuition to a controlled and reproducible process.

In the context of a wood or gas oven, where temperatures can fluctuate widely and heat management is crucial, accurate control is what distinguishes a mediocre result from a 'perfect bake'. Without reliable measurement, the cook would be operating blindly, with the risk of getting food burnt on the outside and raw on the inside, or wasting wood due to too much or too little heating. The ability to constantly monitor temperature allows you to make informed decisions, such as adding wood, adjusting the oven mouth opening or positioning the food, thus ensuring uniformity and quality in every preparation. This tool, therefore, not only provides data, but also enables the user to master the cooking environment, raising the level of their culinary creations and ensuring consistently excellent results.

Key Features

Reliable Bimetallic Technology

This pyrometer is distinguished by its bimetallic construction, a proven technology that guarantees accurate and reliable temperature measurements. The operating principle, based on the differential expansion of two joined metals, gives the device inherent robustness and remarkable durability, particularly suited to the demanding environment of a wood-fired oven.

The bimetallic nature of the pyrometer implies complete independence from external power sources. Unlike digital or electronic solutions that may require batteries or electrical connections, the mechanical design ensures continuous and uninterrupted operation. This is of paramount importance for an accessory intended for an oven, which is often used outdoors or where access to electricity may be limited or inconvenient. The absence of electrical components also makes it less susceptible to failure due to changes in temperature or humidity, offering peace of mind and the knowledge that the measuring instrument will always be operational and accurate, without the need for maintenance or recharging.

Optimal calibration at 500°C

Specifically calibrated up to 500°C, this pyrometer is perfectly suited to monitor the high temperatures required for baking pizzas, bread and other delicacies in your wood or gas oven. This targeted calibration ensures that the ideal conditions for perfect baking can be precisely achieved and maintained.

The calibration at 500°C is a clear indicator of this pyrometer's specialisation for the high temperature baking typical of wood-fired ovens. For preparations such as authentic Neapolitan pizza, for example, temperatures of up to 450-500°C are required to achieve the desired crispy crust and soft interior. This pyrometer designed and calibrated for this specific range ensures that readings are extremely accurate in the most critical temperature range for the user. This accuracy allows you to optimise the heating and baking process, ensuring that the oven is always at the ideal temperature for each type of food, thus avoiding under- or overcooking and contributing significantly to the final product quality.
