Ep 19. An Introduction to Cooking with Retained Heat
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ม.ค. 2021
- In this episode I share my experience with cooking using the full heat cycle. The full heat cycle begins with a live fire. Then once the fire has gone out, using the full range of residual heat to cook a variety if dishes.
Insulated Mortar
Insulated Mortar is a cement mixture made with an insulation material like Vermiculite or Perlite. Consult your Wood Oven supplier for more information.
There are three type of heat that work together to cook your food when it’s in the oven.
There’s Radiant Heat
That’s the heat generated directly by the fire in the oven chamber, and heat stored in the dome and floor. The temperature directly around the fire is going to be hottest part of the oven. Then it will drop towards the oven opening. That’s one of the great versatilities with cooking in the wood oven, that you can use the variable temperature to regulate how you cook your food.
Next is Conduction Heat
That’s the heat that's transferred by direct contact with your food. For example from the floor when you’re making pizza, or from the pans or grill you’re using inside the oven.
And then there’s Convection Heat
That’s the heat generated by cool air drawn into the oven, that is then heated as it flows over the floor and the fire, and then circulated throughout the oven chamber, and out through the chimney.

Please, don't stop posting. Your content is one of the best things I've seen on TH-cam! Its good to the point of beeing meditative... I'm building my house right now and dream of the time I'll spend at my wood fired oven. I want to make all the recepies you've taught, my good teacher. Best regards from Brazil!
Hello Matheus. I see a wood oven in your future, and I'm here when you need advise. Thanks for your kind comment. Clive
@@TheWoodFiredOvenChef Thank you, mr. Clive. May you and your channel go a long way!
Same here 😁 Cant wait to finish house and start to build the oven.
@ Happy trails for you, Martin. I hope you can enjoy it aswell.
@@TheWoodFiredOvenChef He is right mate please don’t stop ✋ , i've got wood fired oven at my cafe in Melbourne where I’m using your tips n knowledge to provide range of food.
thank you so much you’re the best
Your earliest posts inspired my COVID project of finally building a wood fired oven on our patio in Ohio. I started last June 2020 and adhered to professional standards. I finished in September. Then I realized the oven was a pro chef tool... I then spent a couple months learning how to bake and cook using Stone Age tech. I ruined a lot of food, drank a lot of good wine and emerged with an understanding beyond my wildest hopes. This oven has changed my life. It has slowed me down and I have drawn a feeling of peace and confidence from the process. I understand wood now and how it must be respected and used. I know now the chemistry of baking. I have discovered a new way of involving my friends and enjoying their reactions as they see and live the process with me. In the beginning I just thought it would be cool to make a pizza. Now I have gained a rich understanding of how our ancestors lived and enjoyed their lives. What I thought was a hobby has become a lifestyle. Thank you for your posts. You have helped change my life for the better. Viva le internet!
Thanks for your wonderful comment Monte. Everything you say is perfect, and the same experience I have had with the wood oven. You can't learn how to make great food without have a few disasters, of which I have had many. But as I say in the introduction, the more you use you oven, the greater your understanding of what it's capable of. I look forward to hearing about your cooking adventures. Clive
Great! Back to the joy of wood fire, the warmth of the hearth and the bond of love at the table.Back to basic kitchen and sane living, with godliness, contentment and simple domestic happiness money and status fail to buy!
From making cool pizza to achieving a state of Zen. Love it!
Monte Sanborn what an amazing & perfectly insightful comment! When I saw Clive’s earliest videos I was sold on WFO & his amazing top class content which has so many layers of finesse & valuable detailing. If I come into owning a piece of land in the forests of Auroville this has been on my mind as a must have precisely to help me slow down in my conscious journey towards slowing down & be true to my innate leaning for a more natural & nature based living.
Do post your videos for all of us to share in your journey with the WFO & your adventures in cooking with WFO. I want to hear it all☀️🤗
@Clive I agree with all the comments by all those in your recent videos who have said they missed your videos or want you to continue making them more regularly. Pls make 1-2 videos a week with your regular day-2-day mundane recipes (which I highly doubt if there’s anything mundane or regular about your life with a WFO😇) which we can learn & follow.
God bless you both.
Your content, production and demeanor are the absolute top of the tier.
He is suave AF. The ladies like his Sean Connery swag. Lol.
Thank you Ryan!
Without question. Television quality production and content.
@@jamesroyal11 Thank you James, appreciate it. Clive
I thought i accidentally set the speed to .5
Great episode! As always, I thoroughly enjoyed it and walked away with new knowledge. Thanks Clive!
Thanks Scott!
The content you provide through your videos is art. Thank you
Thank you Mark. Appreciate it. Clive
So glad to see another video from you. Your channel is one of my all time favourites.
Thanks Richard. Appreciate it.
Great... now I’m starving! Great process and data capture. Thanks for a great lesson on how much more one can use their oven! Great seeing you back and stay safe everyone.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Clive
Hurrah! You are posting again. Please continue if you are able. Love them!
Thanks Steve
So good to see a new video from you, we have all missed you 😃👍
Missed you too
This channel is inspiring, shooting, exciting, and relaxing, all at the same time. You are a master
Thank you!
Awesome as always. Thanks for all the great graphs and illustrations. Very helpful.
Thank you!
SIR
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I WAS LOOKING FOR SUCH VIDEO FROM THE LAST MORE THAN 6 YEARS AND I FOUND IT
Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it
What a lovely treat to get another video from you. Thanks so much, from Melbourne Australia,
I love recommending your videos to anyone whose interest in wood fired oven cooking gets piqued by eating from ours.
I also refuse to write down or memorise your pizza dough recipe so I have to come back and watch that video every time I make dough, your presence and exacting calm, and music and beautiful films, help get me in the right spot for a another wood fired oven experience- which seems to be one of the best things about this sort of cooking.
Thank you again for your work, I’ve only done some of the residual heat cooking things you have shown so you have inspired me to try more.
Thanks Ontic. Thanks for referring the videos, I appreciate it. I'm glad you enjoy the pizza dough recipe, and keep coming back to it :). I look forward to hearing more about your residual heat cooking. Clive
This was an amazing video, I've dreamt about having a custom oven made one day. Never thought about the retained heat before. Thank you sir
Thanks Erik!
One day will build oven that can retain heat. I have built one with steel and refractory brick floor. The dome cannot retain heat much.
So glad to see you back, to enjoy every move of elegance and your magnetic voice, as well as to appreciate the knowledge of using the oven.
Thank you, appreciate it. Clive
You’re my all time favourite The calmness in your voice and fantastic instructions are the best bar none. And the music, memories of La bella Italia every time.
Thank you Lorenzo!
Just discovered your channel. You are amazing, I love to learn new cooking techniques.
Thank you Stefan
Wow, I feel like the classical wood fired oven is a lifestyle more than a tool. Through this video I could really see how a family could maximize their firewood in a cold winter while keeping well fed throughout the day off the residual heat. I feel like it would really encourage you to cook in the morning with the oven ready to go! Thank you so much for sharing this for us who don't have a wood fired oven.
Thank you. Great comment.
In Finland, it was tradition to build these kind of ovens inside houses (sometimes detached houses and/or summer houses still have them included in newbuilds). They would then serve both as a cooking tool and a heating system for the house. I've even heard of some modern adaptations where radiant heating tubes have been routed through the outer mortar of the oven, to spread the heat into the floor system all around the house.
@@veikkoimmonen7300You’re talking about masonry heaters, right? These are similar but are ineffective as heating systems. This design goes back to Ancient Rome.
Glad to see another video and what a great wealth of information to share. Also I’m happy to see I’m not the only one glad they have received their wood fired oven fix.
Thanks Jesse!
Such an eye opener. Had no idea you could cook for so long after you put out the fire. Brilliant. Thank you.
Thanks David
I am so excited you're still posting. I am not exaggerating when I say this is some of the best content on TH-cam, in my opinion. It's the most relaxing aesthetic, coupled with the most invigorating inspiration. I must have an oven like this. Thank you for this channel, and please keep inspiring us.
Cheers Andrew. I appreciate the feedback. Clive
It's about time. I missed these videos. Also more frenchie please. Great video!
The Frenchie’s name isTruffle.
Thank you! I'll talk to her agent :)
@@TheWoodFiredOvenChef 😂
wow, all I can say is wow! Bravo! thanks for the tutorial. I think you now have just opened my mind to a whole new way of cooking!
Thank you Doug!
You are a true artist, plz keep posting! You make love to food. God bless!
Thank you!!
I am currently going through the process of curing my oven and even though the first few fires are small it's exciting to see a fire in there. Our first pizza night is planned one week from the time of this post. Just like in this video, I plan to use the entire cooking cycle for various dishes during that weekend. Pizza, cinnamon rolls, chicken, and a roast is what's planned at the moment. Thanks for all you content, as it has been very helpful.
Great to hear about your oven Jerry. Congratulations. I look forward to hearing about everything you discover. Clive
I found that even cheap chicken gets cooked so nice and crispy... Not burnt and moist inside in 30 to 40 minute and tastes like organic expensive chicken
Please keep the content coming, love the recipe videos!
Thanks Ben
I 2nd the request for more content!! Been watching since you started- great stuff.
Great as usual. Lot of thanks. Don't stop sow the seeds of inspiration, please!
Thank you Sir!
Thank you for taking the time and effort to explain to us the uses of a well insulated oven. I am defiantly going to try a few of these items just as soon as I have an idea how my oven funtions.
Great Tony. Let me know how it goes. Clive
Glad to see another video. I was hoping you would make one on this aspect of the wood fired oven. My experiences with oven temperatures and times closely mirror yours. When I want to cook with retained heat, I often try and get the most use out of my heat. I’ll cook dinner the evening before with the fire and then bank the heat for a cook the next day. I too spread out the embers and put on my insulating door and will have some embers red hot after I remove the door. I will use these embers to fry some bacon and eggs. After breakfast I’ll clean out the oven and will bake bread.
Thanks fir posting this video
Cheers
Great information. Breakfast is a great choice for retained heat the following morning. Clive
The Godfather I love all your connectivity and contains on this channel you are a legend the best on TH-cam keep the good work going the future is with you love music camera angles sound top

Thanks Jaky
I've learned so much watching your video. Thank you for your time and knowledge. One request, those scones are mouth watering. I literally went back to the clip over and over again. Would you mind sharing your recipe? :)
My man! You're legendary and inspirational with these uploads! Just curious, what kind of equipment do you use to measure your oven's internal temp?
Thank you! I use and Infrared Temperature Gun.
Thank you for taking the time and all the work you do to make the best WF Oven videos on youtube.
Thanks Jack, appreciate it. Clive
My spring project is a wood fired oven in the garden, and your recipes are the inspiration, so thank you.
Excited to hear about your oven. Let me know how it progresses. Clive
I recommend playing at 1.25x speed. Thank me later. Cheers
1 is perfect, thanks
Thanks😂
You are wrong sorry. This video is perfect the way it is. It's passion you lack
It feels like I'm listening to Ben Kingsley giving a food lecture.
lol
I'll take that as a compliment
Your first videos coincided with the arrival of our wood fire oven and helped me to understand how it works. Thank you for posting and, please, post more wonderful and inspiring videos.
More to come
Your content is so relaxing to me.
I'm not sure I'll ever be able to have my own wood fire oven, but I love watching you use yours.
Thanks Kenneth. Appreciate the comment. Clive
This man talks like he's about to say: "I am from the future, and this is your last day on earth"
Yr experience and the the way of explanation are excellent.
Thanks a lot Majharul
We just had our oven installed and I finished seasoning it last weekend and I found this channel. Thank you! I look forward to the rest of your library!
Excited to hear about your oven. I look forward to hearing about your cooking adventures with it. Clive
@@TheWoodFiredOvenChef I'll update your channel as I progress through my cooking experience with our new oven!
A great description and very well made video Clive. Nicely done.
Thank you!
Nice to see you back, Chef. This was a beautiful and informative video. Look forward to more.
Glad to be back Tran. Thanks, Clive.
You're back! Sweet and welcome back! The visuals are fantastic, as well as the food shots.
Glad to be back!

Thank you for your kind comment. Don't give up on NYC :) Clive
I always look forward to your wonderful videos. They are very inspirational! Thank you!!
Thank you Peter
This is by far the most impressive video I have watched on TH-cam. The shot of the honey bee foraging, with the fire burning in the oven as you and the dog strolled by, was perfection! The graphs and diagrams are over the top, and are only surpassed by visual appeal of the dishes you prepared.
Thanks Allen!
The beautiful setting, the glass of wine, the background music, your calm voice and the slendid camera work... , the serenity of the whole make this an inspiring video!
Thank you so much!
Finally!!!!!!!! Another amazing serene video of wood fired oven cooking and other amazing things. Also you inspired me to get a wood fired oven so I’d like to say thank you!!
Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks
Fantastic, the heat cycle is the perfect tool to keep the food coming for an entire weekend or maybe more with family around, so planning days ahead for the feast, it's another enjoyable adventure 👍
Thanks Julio. If the heat is there, then it should be used. Clive
Simply mesmerizing and calming. One day I will have an oven like that.

Colin - Sydney Australia
Thanks Colin. More to come.
I stumbled across this video and started to watch more of them and subscribed. I plan on making a Fire oven this spring, I finished off my pergola and outdoor kitchen last summer and have a spot reserved for the oven. I really can’t wait to start cooking meals outdoors, nothing brings family together like a pizza in a outdoor oven!
Cheers from Canada
Hello Rex. Great to hear there's an oven in your future. I look forward to hearing all about it. Clive

Thanks Daniel
В том доме где я родился был огромная печь . Слева была маленькая топка внутри теплообменник для парового отопления , сверху чугунная плита с двумя отверстиями. Дом из двух срубов , 6/6 и 5/6. Эта печь стояла где комната 5/6 и занимала огромное место. Посередине печи огромная глубокая духовка . Перед духовкой , перед крышкой духовки , то есть перед огнём бабушка пекла вначале блины ( они были толстые , не как сейчас) Она затапливала печь в воскресенье рано утром , и только с берёзы. Мы детвора, просыпались на ароматный запах блинов . Затем в конце она топила печь осиновыми дровами . Уже где-то в обед убирала полностью золу и загружала туда треугольники ( большие 4-5 штук в одной сковороде . 4 сковородки за раз). Потом пекла каравай, тоже несколько. В конце загружала беляш на одну сковородку из гуся. На верху духовки была лежанка. Эти дни запомнились как праздник 1976-90.
What a gorgious presentation - so good to understand and thoughtful content. I am impressed
Many thanks
Great to have found your Channel! This will help me extend my cooking range and add content to my Channel. Stay Safe 👍🇬🇧
Glad you found it useful. I look forward to hearing about what you create.
This was so informative about using retained heat for other dishes. Thank you.
Many thanks Donna
