The ITALFORNI Caruso is an electric oven built for Neapolitan pizza, reaching an actual 530°C (986°F) on a baking floor of certified Sorrento biscuit. Three sizes bake 4, 6 or 9 pizzas of 35 cm (13.8 in) at a time, controlled from a 65K touch screen, and a 208/240 V version is available for US kitchens.
Key Features
- Neapolitan heat: An actual maximum of 530°C (986°F) in a refractory-lined chamber gives the fast bake and leopard-spotted crust of wood-fired pizza.
- Separate floor and ceiling power: HYPER P-HEATING regulates baking floor and ceiling power digitally and independently; SMART EVO functions run from the Touch Screen 65K panel.
- Built for the pizzaiolo: A Monolite Ipergres work shelf, a drawer for peel, pole and brush, a removable metal-mesh resting shelf and double interior lighting replaceable from inside or outside.
- Dough proofing on board: A dry leavening cell holds 50°C (122°F), with its own light and thermostat.
- Finish to match the room: Decor Grid panels in contrasting glossy and matt colours; insulation keeps the exterior around 30°C (86°F).
