Second, the heat source for ceramic cookers is below the cooking surface. First, they have a hinged lid that requires opening each time to check on the pizza or get it into or out of the cooker.

Ceramic Cookers are Not Designed for Cooking PizzaĬeramic cookers, like the Big Green Egg, are great machines, but they aren’t really designed for making brick oven pizza. Because of the nature of this material, the single dense pieces are extremely susceptible to shrinkage, and thermal cracking, leaving a fairly vulnerable piece of outdoor cooking equipment. Instead of having a multi-layered structure, ceramics usually have single layer of dense (yet brittle) material. Problems with Ceramic Cookers Ceramic Cookers are FragileĬeramics can withstand great amounts of heat, but are also quite fragile.

They also can be fragile and parts can easily crack or break. Traditional brick ovens dating back thousands of years are still used in the best pizza restaurants today to reliably churn out quality food, but they’re unrealistic for the average person, who probably doesn’t have the space or money for that kind of commitment. The Relic is a different machine that is designed different than every other machine. We knew we were going to have to dive into the world of high temperature refractory composites if we wanted to get the job done. To get to these temperatures, we knew that over the counter materials would not suffice.

Great brick ovens do two things well: 1) they create an experience that brings people together, and 2) they are well insulated, so they reach and maintain the extreme temperatures needed to cook food faster.
