 Re: Floor prep?
I was speaking with Salvatore Olivella of Olivella's in Dallas yesterday. In addition to his little restaurant, he has a consulting company that builds ovens. He was telling me about a few things he does...
- for 2 days in a row, when the oven is not hot, he brushes extra virgin olive oil into the oven floor.
- after cooking pizzas and the wood has burned down to ashes, he spreads the hot ashes over the whole floor and then throws some salt on them. The next day, he cleans out the ashes.
Thought it was interesting... |
