Cure Your Oven Before Use

Before you start creating those mouth-watering pizzas, it’s crucial to cure your oven. 

Curing is a simple process that slowly dries out the moisture in your oven, preventing cracks and ensuring long-lasting performance. Start with a small fire, keeping the temperature low, and gradually increase the heat over several days. 

This careful process is something we at Jalando strongly recommend to all our customers—because we know it’s the best way to protect your investment.


Keep Your Oven Dry

Your Jalando oven is built to last, but like any quality piece of equipment, it needs protection from the elements. 

If your oven is outdoors and not under cover, we highly recommend using one of our specially designed covers. Keeping your oven dry is essential to maintaining its integrity and ensuring it lasts for years. 

Many of our customers find that a cover not only protects their oven but also adds to the overall look of their outdoor space.

 

Understanding Hairline Cracks

Noticed a few hairline cracks? Don’t worry—these are completely normal and nothing to be concerned about. 

As your oven heats up and cools down, it naturally expands and contracts, which can cause tiny cracks to appear. These are a natural part of the oven’s lifecycle and do not affect its performance. 

At Jalando, we’ve designed our ovens with high-quality refractory materials to ensure that these minor cracks stay just that—minor.

 

Regular Cleaning Tips

Keeping your oven clean ensures not only the best-tasting food but also a long life for your oven. 

After each use, let the oven cool down before sweeping out any ash with a soft brush. There’s no need to scrub the interior—just remove the loose ash to keep things tidy. 

For the exterior, a gentle wipe with a damp cloth will do the trick. We recommend avoiding harsh chemicals, as they can damage the finish of your beautiful oven.

Every so often, a deeper clean might be needed. Remove any leftover ash and wood, then use a natural cleaning solution, like a mix of water and vinegar, to wipe down the interior. Just remember to let everything dry completely before covering it up again. 

This simple routine will keep your oven looking and performing its best.

 

Check Your Accessories

Your pizza oven accessories are just as important as the oven itself. 

Regularly check your pizza peel, brush, and log holder for any signs of wear and tear. Keeping them in good condition makes cooking easier and more enjoyable, and at Jalando, we offer a range of accessories designed to complement your oven perfectly.
