Ep 19. An Introduction to Cooking with Retained Heat
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 01. 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 CZcams! 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
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
The content you provide through your videos is art. Thank you
Thank you Mark. Appreciate it. Clive
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.
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!
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!
Great episode! As always, I thoroughly enjoyed it and walked away with new knowledge. Thanks Clive!
Thanks Scott!
Hurrah! You are posting again. Please continue if you are able. Love them!
Thanks Steve
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
Gracias por toda esta informacion !!!!y tambien por la pasion demostrada en su relato ....muy hermoso su horno !!! Saludos desde Buenos Aires Argentina!!!
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
So good to see a new video from you, we have all missed you 😃👍
Missed you too
a tear fell here. It was beautiful, a mixture of science, beauty, physics, cooking, refinement and love. I was delighted with the lessons in every moment of the video. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much Ricardo
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
I am so excited you're still posting. I am not exaggerating when I say this is some of the best content on CZcams, 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
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.
Thanks, you have given me so much knowledge in my understanding of my wood fired oven, From the beginning of your episodes to now. I have gained so much confidence in cooking in my wood fired oven and nearly producing some brilliant dishes which you have shared with us. you are the Master of the wood fired oven.
Thank you Ibrahim. I'm glad you found the videos useful, and appreciate the feedback. 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 CZcams keep the good work going the future is with you love music camera angles sound top
Thank you Mo!
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!
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
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 😂
Just discovered your channel. You are amazing, I love to learn new cooking techniques.
Thank you Stefan
I've been dreaming of building an outdoor oven for a few years but, after watching your video I've decided I can't wait any longer. It lit the fire under ME! Thank you!
I look forward to hearing all about it
Such an eye opener. Had no idea you could cook for so long after you put out the fire. Brilliant. Thank you.
Thanks David
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.
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? :)
That voice is soothing as are the background sounds of the crackling fire and the mellow music. I feel the warmth. Hits all the senses, really. And WFOC is a wonderful outdoor fire chef.
Many thanks Nick
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 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.
It feels like I'm listening to Ben Kingsley giving a food lecture.
lol
I'll take that as a compliment
After I watched this video I was completely satisfied and informed that I didn’t need to watch other similar videos. Thank you for this.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks
Great vid thank you, I have gone old school and built an earth oven with a rammed earth floor, it has changed my life, Ive learned so much since I built it over a year ago and Im still learning. Kind regards from Pretoria, South Africa.
Great to hear about your oven Rosnard. Look forward to hearing about what you cook in it. Clive
This man talks like he's about to say: "I am from the future, and this is your last day on earth"
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
Thank you NOT
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!
This channel is inspiring, shooting, exciting, and relaxing, all at the same time. You are a master
Thank you!
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
Awesome as always. Thanks for all the great graphs and illustrations. Very helpful.
Thank you!
I love how you explained all the details. Very clear and informative.
Thanks Jaky
This is an passionate man right here! beste regards from Romania.
Mulțumesc!
You are a true artist, plz keep posting! You make love to food. God bless!
Thank you!!
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
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
So glad to see another video from you. Your channel is one of my all time favourites.
Thanks Richard. Appreciate it.
You are absolutely incredible, an artist, a scientist and a scholar. Always so well done, we need more of these!!!!!!
Thank you for your kind comment. Don't give up on NYC :) Clive
I want to eat every single item you made. This is true artistry. Thank you for sharing these techniques!
Cheers
Great as usual. Lot of thanks. Don't stop sow the seeds of inspiration, please!
Thank you Sir!
I thank you so much for this video. Just the other day We realized the full potential of our Oven. Pizza by mid day and fresh artisan Bread later on the day. Please keep them coming. Cheers from sunny Florida
Thanks Johnny, glad you enjoyed it. Clive
Thanks, just speechless after this .... Master level
Thanks so much
Have been waiting for this next installment and as always it was well worth the wait. Your production gets better and better. So good.
I find that retained heat cooking, if adequately prepared for, adds so much to the wood oven experience. The financial cost of the wood for a full fire is easily distributed over 3 days of value based cooking.
4 hour pork belly the evening following a pizza cook, spare ribs for 7 hours the day after, not to mention your eggs Shakshuka in between...any wonder I’m buying larger clothes these days :)
I have mentioned before that your videos were part of the inspiration for my oven build. I take so much enjoyment from it. For this I thank you.
Keep the videos coming.
Thanks Danny. Pork Belly and Ribs are a great suggestion, and dishes I haven't tried yet, so thanks for the suggestion. Happy to hear about your oven, and look forward to hearing more about your cooking adventures. Clive
WOW! Your video is otherworldly. Thank you.
Thank you!
Absolute pleasure watching your video look forward to more
Thanks so much. More to come.
A great display of art and science!
Many thanks
Once again. Brilliant. Thank you and keep up the good work
Thank you Jamie
This information and preseentation is gold. Thank you Sir
Thank you David
Incredible information. Thanks for the post and keep doing them!
Thanks Daniel
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
I have lived all my life in apartments in , but at my 44 I felt the need for a house and a oven just like yours and the knowledge. thanks a lot, it looked like a very fulfilling dream
Thanks so much.
This is by far the most impressive video I have watched on CZcams. 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!
WOW!!! Your videos are Amazing and so is your food.
Thanks Justin
I always look forward to your wonderful videos. They are very inspirational! Thank you!!
Thank you Peter
You're back! Sweet and welcome back! The visuals are fantastic, as well as the food shots.
Glad to be back!
Finally... someone who knows what they are talking about! What you presented (in a dignified, accurate and clear manner) is exactly right - and right in-line with 18th century cooking in an earthen oven. VERY well done Sir! Now that I have seen this... I'll go back and watch all your videos. Thank you for sharing. When I know someone who needs an education on this - I will refer them to your videos. This really is top notch. Best to you and yours. Pats for the pup :-)
John! Thank you so much for commenting. I glad you enjoyed the video, and appreciate the feedback. Clive
My goodness what some amazing information! Thank you 😊
Many thanks Paul
This gentleman is by far the best lve ever seen, l hope his posts never end 🙏

This video is amazing, so many information, thank you!
Thanks Daniel
LOVE this. I often cook something half way then put it into an insulated box and it continues to cook while I'm doing something else. I will combine your system and mine and develop a whole new way of meal preparation. Thanks.
That's a great technique, thanks for sharing. More to come.
Un vídeo espectacular!!!!! Felicidades! Muy interesante
Thank you!
This was a very insightful and enlightening video. Thank you for putting this out.
Thank you sir
thanks for the explanations. I'll try to create my wood oven this summer following your tips.
Great. I look forward to hearing about your cooking. Clive
Another wonderful video, my wife and I use our oven for stews or casseroles after the fire has gone out but we will now be extending our range of cooking! Please keep up the great work 👍
Thanks Jason. Great to hear you're already using the retained heat. There are so many possibilities. Clive
I stumbled on this video randomly and watched the entire thing. I was entertained fully and 100% shocked to learn how long an oven of this type holds heat with an ability to cook foods. Long after the fire is gone. Good video.
Thank you!
Fascinating. And delicious.
Thank you Piers
Wow that's a beautiful oven. The hours of retained you get out of it blows my mind.
Thanks Robin
I built my own wood fired oven and a similar larger pig roaster . But cooking like this with friends is a passion of mine !! Please keep posting it’s so fun
Thank you! More to come.
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!
That is really beautiful and helpful information thanks 👍👍
Thank you for posting this video. I am planning for a wood fired Oven soon and your inputs are valuable. Recipes are great too..
Great to hear you're planning an oven. Clive
This guy has class!!! Great explanation. Thanks
Many thanks. More to come. Clive

Thanks Kody
Absolutely brilliant video.
Many thanks! More to come.
