When your looking for a unique cooking experience consider the options offerred by Wood Stone oven company. Just like the name says, the ovens are available in a wood burning model that is mainly used in high end cuisine that requires an authentic smoked taste and in old style pizzeria’s. There are two things about Wood Stone Ovens that stand out to me as unique in my experience running kitchens and as a San Diego personal chef prepping and cooking in other’s kitchens. First is the ability to cook on a true stone surface, the entire oven is made of a cast porcelein stone that retains a nice even temperature and allows the cook to use different area’s of the oven for different periods of the cooking process. Second is the option to have these ovens installed with gas heat. This gives the cook a truly authentic look with the flexibility and control of gas heat. The cooking surface is still a stone material and this gives the chef a broad range of options when preparing everything from breads, meats, quiches or pizza. The only issue for a caterer is space that one of these ovens consumes. While the cooking surface is larger than most any oven the additional space taken up by the porcelein dome and gas equipment may not work for larger volume events. I personally prefer a viking range and a few bakers pride ovens but am consistently impressed by the authentic look and hearth baked taste associated with a well tamed Wood stone.
