12. Pizza ovens

The "pizza" function in modern ovens is designed to recreate the ideal conditions of wood-fired cooking, resulting in a pizza with a light, crispy crust. This function often involves a combination of heating elements (top and bottom) and, in some cases, ventilation, to evenly distribute the heat.

• Heat Distribution: The pizza function uses a combination of heating elements (top and bottom) to simulate cooking in a wood-fired oven, where heat comes from multiple directions.
• High Temperature: Ovens with a pizza function are designed to reach higher temperatures than traditional ovens, which are necessary for optimal pizza cooking.
• Even Cooking: Ventilation, when present, helps distribute the heat evenly, ensuring the pizza cooks evenly and the crust becomes crispy.
• Symbol: The pizza function symbol on ovens often features an icon resembling a pizza or a wood-fired oven.

• Heating Elements: The pizza function activates both the oven's top and bottom heating elements, or uses a combination of elements to simulate heat from below (typical of wood-fired ovens) and above.
• Fan (optional): Some ovens with a pizza function are equipped with fan, which distributes heat evenly, preventing the pizza from burning in some areas and remaining undercooked in others.
• Temperature Regulation: The pizza function allows you to adjust the temperature based on the type of pizza you want to cook, always ensuring the desired result.
