Can I cook directly on the hearth (floor) of the brick oven?
Yes, most bread items including pizzas and calzones can be cooked directly on the hearth. The unique properties of the hearth cause bread to rise and spring rapidly, quickly, and come out with a great crisp crust. Any items other than bread, must be cooked in a skillet or pan, as they may damage the hearth. We recommend our soapstone pots and pans, as they are very gentle and forgiving on the hearth.
