Good morning No nothing is visible Slightly better
Rainy day super wet I'm sleepy because it's only 6:40 but today is extremely important
Yes because today I'm meeting the companion for this adventure
No he's not a colleague but it's Forno
Alright I'll tell you the city I'm heading to—Dimitrof near
Verona I'm leaving because it's late before I fall asleep again
I also need to pick up Fabio the videomaker who’ll be helping me with today’s video
The truth is if you laugh too hard there's nothing you can do about it
Wait this is the service
We're here
Tell me what you want to do with the pizza now
No actually I want to make the pizza
In fact there was a chance to bring the dough and test the oven live
And then there was a technical issue so we decided not to do it
Do you have money to pay
No they're all spent at the pizzeria
Goodbye
The navigator says we've arrived theoretically
but I Look it literally says you've arrived
David Ovens professional electric ovens attention
There he is professional there he is—I saw it I recognized the label
So wait a minute
I think we need to make a
phone call Let's call Giuliana whom we'll meet shortly
Confirm that you want to call Giuliana
I'm calling Giuliana Forni David on his mobile phone
Hi
Hi Giuliana hello goodbye
I think I've arrived but should I park outside
I'll open the door for you I'll open it
Okay
So if you've come to the right place that means
when I press this button you'll see a gate open
Tell me when you took
it It's not being taken
Wait a moment
Now yes now yes
okay Welcome
We're here let's meet up—should be Giuliana coming to get us
Is this it Here we are
Hi
Welcome Thanks
How are you Everything okay
No I got here but actually I couldn’t see
I keep going forward I say no
The navigator said you've arrived
Permission granted Come in come in please Let's
seat you over here
—where we usually welcome guests
Ah what a lovely place this is
This is our production area
Ah so you actually manufacture these here right
You handle everything right
Everything everything except raw materials of course
You see steel
Giuliano everything good
Fine I don't know
Already very pleased
To get things back on track let's start with coffee
Yes
Did you find the bitterness again Yes
I don't know
For me it's a bit sweet right now
I must admit that as soon
as I arrived at the
company I was truly very excited I couldn't wait to start talking
Take it out of the oven and go
see for yourself But the welcome was truly fantastic
Giuliana with her sweetness
and her hospitality
And then the chats with
Giuliano about coffee and the
best techniques for enjoying
it bitter Despite my hab
o make it sweet enough
Then my guests changed
clothes and with
great skill began
ell me about their
amazing oven What should I
tell you about Progress
ovens For us it's our
at the forefront In 2020
it was 30 years
now we say
32 The Progress—we do it
with instrumental sections
They've stayed the same
Because it works very well
A winning team don't change it
We agree
Have you always had the ability to
reach such high temperatures or is this
something you've implemented in recent
years due to increased
demand You've got it
Have they always stayed the same
No The control panels
have always remained compatible over time
with earlier versions
I mean if one of our customers
Twenty years ago he now has an issue with the
control panel a new control
panel can be installed
the oven from twenty years ago
So absolutely no problem
Externally we've always maintained
the same dimensions
and everything else
That was a smart move
indeed Inside of course the electronics have
been completely updated
with modern components
and feature an
entirely different system
and then
easy to use
visually and very practical
And then
as you've taught me so well
for certain types of cooking
and specific particular
pizza productions
there is a very high temperature
paired with a very special baking surface
the biscuit of Sorrento
I'll show you that ours is
truly from Sorrento Our place is
genuinely from Sorrento Every
stone is stamped with Sorrento
Gold is a craft passed down
through two generations making
these products here for 200
years It's a truly handmade item
40 see that it's a clay mixture
Yes that's exactly what I always explain on the channel whenever someone asks
The difference between
refractory material and biscuits
Because it's actually clay and therefore an insulator
more than just a conductor And that's
why when you're at high temperature you
don't radiate It's not as intense as
a refractory stone so it allows you to
about cooking Giuliana on the other hand I want to ask you something
because you know I'm doing
this I'm sharing on the channel
a small series Now everyone following me is
worried that I'm taking over this pizzeria
with an electric oven You're saying the
energy bill has
skyrocketed But that's okay
We know something wonderful about
this oven and precisely for that reason
it's once again perhaps the most fitting
choice possible because you told me
I've also done a bit of research
and here we're somewhat protected
when it comes to consumption— just look six pizzas per module
It has a peak power output of
9 kilowatts because the hourly
consumption is 3 kilowatts not
because we've invented something new
Something strange And because we bake using thermal mass not
heating elements that cook the
pizza like a conventional oven
The pizza isn't baked it 's
dehydrated and remains
cooked so we use our own
heating elements made of stone
In pietra refrettaria If I understood
you correctly the pizza doesn 't
need the flame kiss if we're
comparing it to a wood-fired oven
stead the heat mass
as you said practically
dries and cooks internally without burning
without burning That's why we have the heating elements that
pass through these refractory
stones Oh fantastic look at this
so the resistances go
through these little holes Yes
imagine a resistance
in each hole
so if I understand the concept correctly it's that
practically making the resistances
in here active I turn the
cooktop into an active part of
the cooking process because if
If the resistances are exposed when the
resistance is turned off
it cools down more quickly
Putting water in turns off the
heating element but I don't get a
temperature drop because the stone retains heat and thus becomes
a portion of the cooking so this
allows me to optimize the cooking
process and save energy And you realize
that this part this heating eleme
It's not the cooking refectory but is this not the
cooking refectory No no this
is the resistance refectory
on which there is a coating
of heat-treated steel
black heat-treated steel
and on that one too Really
This has been one of the most interesting conversations
we've ever had I could have
talked with Giuliana for hours
and Giuliana on the techniques of oven construction on
everything that goes into
trying to improve the process
e product's cooking and optimization
to maximize savings—essentially
a world full of nuances that would
fascinate any pizza enthusias
and any professional but then
came the big moment—getting
up close to the prototype of
what will be the
pizzeria's oven
in size
it's him
let's see the dimensions
the chamber thickness
is 5 cm
it's a closing
door important
He can feel it too from the weight at the start
look inside these dogs here
they're all giving in to those resistances
that you
saw over there
I was looking at it—the sound of
light is very particular it's a niche that doesn't protrude at all into
the room and if it were to happen
e thing is even if
the bulb in Croatia
were to burn out the best part
is I can replace it while I'm still cooking
since I change it from the outside
Take the wire from here
and from here I'll go
change the bulb so that
part is cold—the oven
When it reaches
500°C externally
at an ambient temperature of
25–26°C there will be a section
of the bench that remains cool
I'll go ahead and do the
work here so I don't strain
my back—just take it easy we 'll
take care of it together
ese plans down here
That's what you told me it's
the same above and below with
those refractory strips in
which the heating elements run
This is the refractory we saw
earlier and inside it are the heating
elements that's why this is a system
we might call ergonomic
in the sense tha
The resistances heat up but
then there's a physical component
that retains the heat and continues the cooking process
because the heating elements are
outside the oven and
are all protected
by thermal steel above and below
which radiates heat onto the pizza
a uniform
transparent heat—actually on
the pizza it's all
just one homogeneous
thing because it's inevitably filtered
through all this thermal steel here
so practically this means that
if the pizzas don 't
turn out well
it's my fault because the oven
does its job exceptionally well
Did you see this huge one
My goodness look at this
They make these inside
I don't know how much absolutely massive
Guys these are all the refractory bricks
The orders we placed now are
scheduled for delivery in
February 2023—fortunately we have those plates on hand
So you're telling me I'm
recommended exactly that
Keep this—let me show you how our
ovens are insulated—this is why
you can rest your back against it
without getting
burned—this fabric—
e fabric our guys jokingly call a
wedding veil is actually a glass
fabric—feel it if
you dare—a fabric
that carries away
so much so very much
emperature let's go around the other
our office
so we're heading straight to another area
still right here near us
our other office where the Davide
Academy is being developed—the
academy you mentioned a fantastic
project—and where
we also have another
dustrial zone
side there's
something absolutely
beautiful come and see this is
the color of dreams for an oven
it's practically not even an ove
It's a jersey complement
—kind of an Inter fan
you know I don't follow football much—let's
just say he's not really an Inter supporter it's practically just the color of the jersey
The channel's logo is almost the same color so this is
always a step forward
but here you showed me earlier —
you told me
— that there are three
different types of rooms let's say three completely different rooms
Let's start with the
more standard one
—15 units high—for
traditional pizza
and this will also be roughly the
height of one of the oven's chambers
I'm choosing the 15th cooking zone
made of refractory material
with hidden heating elements
located underneath
but extremely powerful
and fully present
then we thought
a special version of the oven for
those who want
their pizza a little
imperfect—here's the hybrid chamber
practically above the refractory
We have implemented
cookie plans
and instead of
our magnificent low-energy
uniform resistances
We added armored resistance
because this
creates slightly
imperfect heat bursts making
the pizza cooking a bit more
mperfect
whereas the one below is a room
suitable for 25
ideal for baking bread
and also perfect for
larger risen products
This textured finish is something we've never seen on the
channel before because it's more common in professional ovens
It's hard to find them in household
-grade models Giuliana explained
adding that they're much better
suited for baking sheet pizzas
even with iron baking sheets
and here we practically can't
show it yet—this
will become our
next kitchen the
Davide Academy
Starting in May we'll begin our first courses
maybe there'll even be homemade pizza
oh who knows
we're hoping for it
then from October onward
In grand
opening of the
course year from late
September we
will publish
the 2022–2023 calendar
And we're counting on having you here
who knows
and so eyes lost in this
elegant and innovative oven
mind brimming with a thousand
ideas it suddenly came to me
a phrase I once
read in a book
by an English writer: "I don't
like the work nobody likes it
but I love what's in the work"
e possibility
of finding oneself— well you already
know me a bit by now
you know I'm a hopeless romantic
so this day means everything to me
It wasn't just about choosing an
oven—it was about selecting a
true companion for the journey sharing stories and moments along the way
It's time to go home and I
'm certain the coming days
will be filled with thrilling
and exciting anticipation
Thank you for everything
we'll talk soon
take care goodbye
