In today’s professional catering landscape, technological innovation and sustainability play a central role. The need to reduce emissions, improve efficiency, and ensure high performance has led many professional kitchens to opt for electric solutions. The Zeno professional oven, designed by Alfa Forni, stands out for its innovative approach to pizza baking, offering high performance without smoke emissions, convenience, and speed, thanks to the use of electricity.
The Future of Cooking is Electric
The evolution of the restaurant industry requires solutions that not only meet the highest quality standards but are also aligned with current regulations and energy efficiency needs. Wood and gas ovens, while still a popular choice among pizza enthusiasts and professionals, do not always meet the necessary installation requirements in urban spaces with sometimes particularly strict limitations. This is where Zeno comes in, a professional electric pizza oven designed to ensure impeccable cooking without the need for a chimney or handling fuels like wood or gas.
Alfa Forni’s professional electric oven is an ideal solution for those who want to maintain professional quality standards while reducing environmental impact. Electric technology, in fact, does not produce smoke or harmful emissions, thus solving many issues related to pollution management in densely populated urban areas.
High Performance without Compromise
One of the main advantages of the Zeno oven is its ability to reach high temperatures, up to 500°C, making it perfect for preparing Neapolitan pizza, contemporary pizza, Roman-style pizza, pizza by the slice, focaccia, and many other traditional Italian and international specialties. Thanks to its advanced technology, Zeno can reach the required cooking temperature in about 90 minutes, an ideal time for an oven of this power, ensuring uniform heat distribution across the surface.
This means not only can multiple pizzas be cooked consecutively without waiting, but each pizza can be cooked perfectly without the need to rotate them inside the oven. This feature is particularly useful in high-volume professional kitchens where every minute counts, and efficiency is crucial.
Convenience and Ease of Use
Another strength of Zeno is its extreme convenience. Being an electric oven, it does not require the complex management of traditional fuels like wood or gas. This not only eliminates the need for a storage area or a dedicated gas network connection but also simplifies daily maintenance and use.
The oven is equipped with a touchscreen control panel that allows precise regulation of the temperature at the top (ceiling), bottom (floor), and front (opening), offering full control over the entire cooking process. This function is ideal for obtaining customized temperatures based on the type of pizza or dish being prepared. The separate heat zone control is a feature that distinguishes Zeno from tradition ovens, ensuring flexibility and precision, two essential qualities in a professional kitchen.
Additionally, its installation is quick and easy, not requiring any complex construction work or installations. This makes it perfect for restaurants, pizzerias, and kitchens with limited space or located in urban areas with strict emission regulations.
The Power of Alfa Refractory Bricks
One of the main features that makes Zeno a winning choice is the use of special high-density refractory bricks, a hallmark of Alfa Forni. These bricks not only retain heat excellently but also distribute it evenly, ensuring that each pizza or dish is cooked to perfection, from the first to the last.
Zeno’s 5 cm thick refractory bricks are designed to accumulate heat and release it gradually, replicating the efficiency of wood-fired ovens without the inconvenience of smoke or fire control. The result is a unique crispiness and unparalleled texture that will have your customers eager to come back for more.
Sustainable and Innovative Technology
In an era where sustainability is increasingly at the heart of business decisions, Zeno represents an ecological alternative to traditional ovens. The use of electricity as an energy source not only reduces CO2 emissions but also offers better control over energy costs, allowing restaurateurs to optimize consumption according to their needs.
The high energy efficiency of the Zeno oven translates not only into economic savings but also into an important step toward more sustainable catering. In particular, the absence of fossil fuels and the reduction of pollutant emissions are crucial aspects for those operating in urban environments or within buildings with strict regulations.
Versatility in the Kitchen
Zeno is not only the perfect pizza oven, but it also offers the possibility to prepare a wide range of dishes thanks to its various cooking functions. With its advanced technology, it is possible to perfectly cook any type of preparation: from crispy focaccia to gratinated vegetables, from desserts to meats.
This versatility makes it an extremely useful tool for any professional kitchen that wants to offer a varied and high-quality menu to its customers, without sacrificing convenience and efficiency.
In a Nutshell
Alfa Forni’s Zeno oven represents the future of pizza cooking in the professional catering sector. With its ability to combine high performance, sustainability, and advanced technology, Zeno stands as a smart choice for those who want to optimize their kitchen while ensuring the highest quality and energy savings.
Whether you run a pizzeria, a restaurant, or a gourmet kitchen, Zeno allows you to tackle culinary challenges with ease, reducing environmental impact and offering your customers impeccable dishes. Don’t let space or regulatory limitations stifle your creativity: with Zeno, the possibilities are endless and always within reach.
