How to cook in the oven?

I quite often get asked about cooking in the oven, so if you won a oven here are some handy tips

• If you haven’t cooked in your oven for a a few weeks allow at least 2-3 hours to heat up your oven.
• Use a good quality Hardwood like ironbark as this wood burns long and hot
• Make sure your wood is dry, a lot of people will tell you their wood is dry if it’s not dry you will produce a lot of smoke ( Not good on the neighbours) about 22% moisture content.
• Invest in a digital temperature gauge your cooking should be about 350 degrees
• move your fire to the back or side at least 20 minutes prior to cooking
• to test the surface you can through some flour on it and see how fast it burns
• keep a good flame going this is what grills the top of the pizza
• Remember everything cooks at different temperatures, so pizza is different from a roast.
