What Important Safety Features do Commercial Pizza Ovens have?
By Winnie September 21st, 2024

The oven is a high-temperature device, so you must pay great attention to safety protection when using it. Commercial pizza ovens are typically designed with several important safety features to ensure that the equipment operates safely and efficiently, as well as to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of users. In this article, we’ll go over the basic safety features you should consider when choosing a commercial pizza oven. Here are some of the most important safety features you should focus on.

1.Durable Structure

The first consideration when purchasing commercial equipment is their build quality. It should have a durable construction and design that can withstand normal wear and tear. Its functions should also be versatile, capable of making different recipes, and easy to operate.

As a piece of food equipment, it should be made of non-toxic, food-grade safe materials. And its cooking surface will not be damaged at high temperatures. In addition, the external handles and buttons should be resistant to high temperatures to avoid burning the user during use.

 

2.Temperature Control

Commercial pizza ovens typically have precise temperature controls that allow the user to set and maintain the desired cooking temperature and monitor the oven's temperature to achieve desired recipe results. This feature helps prevent overheating and ensures recipes cook consistently every time. It is also important to ensure that the oven does not overheat and cause a fire.

 

3. Timers and Alarms

Many commercial pizza ovens are equipped with timers and alarms to alert the operator when the cooking time is up. This helps prevent the pizza from overcooking or burning, reducing the risk of fire or other safety hazards.

Usually it is paired with an automatic shut-off feature, which allows you to automatically turn off the oven when you are doing other things or not in the kitchen to prevent food from overcooking or burning.

 

4.Automatic Shutdown

Some commercial pizza ovens are equipped with an automatic shut-off function, which will automatically turn off the oven if the oven overheats or is left on for a long time. It is very friendly to eliminate people who forget to turn off the oven in time due to other things, and can reduce some potential fire hazards. This feature is very helpful for seniors who live independently. It also prevents food from being grilled for too long or burning.

 

5. Internal Lighting

Many commercial pizza ovens have internal lighting that allows users to see the pizza being cooked inside the oven at all times, reducing the risk of burns and other accidents.

 

6. Insulated Exterior

Commercial pizza ovens are typically designed with an insulated outer surface to prevent excessive external surface temperatures during operation. This reduces the risk of burns or other injury to the operator or anyone who comes into contact with the oven.

 

7. Ventilation and Exhaust System

Proper ventilation and exhaust systems are basic safety features of commercial pizza ovens. They help expel smoke, soot and excess heat from the oven, improving air quality and preventing the risk of fire or combustion-related accidents.

 

8.Safety Switch

Some commercial pizza ovens are equipped with a safety switch, a feature that prevents the oven from operating if the oven door is not closed tightly or if there is a problem with the oven's electrical system.

 

9.Safety Valve

Ovens should be equipped with safety valves to control the flow of gas or electricity and shut off the power if a problem occurs.

 

10. Self-cleaning

Some ovens have a self-cleaning feature that reduces the risk of fires caused by grease or food residue buildup.

 

11. Fire Extinguishing System

Some commercial pizza ovens may also have fire suppression systems installed, such as fire extinguishing agents or fireproofing materials, to quickly extinguish fires and prevent them from spreading.

 

Final Thoughts

In summary, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines for the safe operation of your commercial pizza oven, and to ensure that your oven is inspected and maintained regularly to keep all safety features in proper working order. Proper operator training and supervision is also critical to ensuring safe operation of commercial pizza ovens.

 

FAQs

Why is a pizza oven better than a regular oven?

Pizza ovens produce more heat and at higher temperatures than home ovens, and the pizza oven's cooking chamber has a stone platform that retains heat well. The high heat of a pizza oven can cause the oven to spring back quickly. (Oven springback is when bread dough is placed in a high-temperature oven, the dough rises rapidly initially. The high temperature puts the yeast into overdrive and multiplies rapidly. The dough expands rapidly as a result). The rapid fermentation in the oven will result in a soft and fluffy crust. The stone slab crisps the bottom of the pizza and prevents the sauce on top from making it soggy.

You can bake pizza in your oven at home. It might even be good, even delicious. But great pizza comes from the pizza oven. It's the best tool for the job.

 

Can you use a pizza stone in an electric oven?

Yes of course. The working principle of the pizza stone is to transfer the heat it possesses to the food to achieve the purpose of baking food - you put the unbaked pizza on it, and the preheated pizza stone itself can provide enough heat energy to baking the pizza crust. Not all the energy comes from the air in the oven or the heat radiated from the heating element or flame. But the important thing is that the oven stone must be heated before the pizza goes on, and it doesn't matter where the heat comes from, whether it's a gas flame or an electric heating element.

 

Which oven is best for pizza?

For cookies and cakes, a conventional oven is best, but a convection oven is usually very suitable as well. But for baking pizza, a convection oven or pizza oven is more suitable. Because the pizza oven can provide higher temperatures for the pizza and give it a crispier texture.
