Alfa 5 MINUTI The Original Italian Pizza Oven Copper

As we mentioned before, Alfa’s breakthrough innovation is the Forninox™ technology that consists in using the stainless-steel along with the refractories.

Steel is not suitable for the manufacturing of wood-burning ovens because it can’t withstand the thermal strains to which these appliances are subject. Back in the day, gas-fired ovens hardly reached 250-300°C so that wasn’t a problem at all, but nowadays appliances can easily hit 500°C and steel could be deformed or even pierced with all ensuing consequences.

So, Alfa came up with the idea to combine different types of steel and refractory materials to make the oven structure and dome. 

As a result, the most used steel to manufacture the external parts is type 304 also known as 18/10 stainless-steel, mainly used for building commercial kitchen because it’s easy to clean and highly rust-resistant.

Then, it is blended with grade 253 stainless-steel that can withstand temperatures above 1 100°C to coat the inside of the dome, that is the part that comes in contact with the cooking chamber, to enhance the overall insulating capability.

To make the combustion chamber of the household ovens, we prefer using type 441 stainless-steel that contains titanium to increase sturdiness and longevity.

Base has a shelf for wood storage, stainless-steel front
panel, black handle and 4 professional casters with
brakes. Weighs as little as 64 lbs and is available in
Copper or Black.
