Lets Talk Curry / Re: Recipes just like the restaurant

Its not just the recipe, its replicating the chef. I've cooked my wife's favourite Ceylon using the exact recipe and it came out different. Replicating the skill of the chef has a lot to do with it as well.

Unfortunately I don't yet have a high-pressure LPG cylinder and regulator from which to run it, and it's rather unimpressive when run from my low-pressure setup, so I have to experience the real pleasures of 40kw Chinese cookery ...

** Phil.

Although I haven't got a wok burner I do use an adjustable High Pressure regulator and this one from wickes is great. Left hand threaded for regular Propane bottles

So sorry, Gav, I inadvertently modified your post rather than quoting and replying to it. I have tried to put it back as it was, but please correct any errors I have made in so doing.

What I intended to add in my reply is (1), yes, that is exactly the sort of thing I had in mind (how much, though ?!), and (2) I don't think I ever saw the mobile pizzeria van man in Horsmonden rotate the pizzas (he definitely used a wood-burning oven) but perhaps I just wasn't paying attention.

** Phil.

No problem. If its a oven with a fuel at one side, they have to be rotated otherwise they just burn. Added a better video that explains it better.

The Blackstone Pizza oven was discontinued for some reason. Getting the pizza to be roughly central from the peel launch would be a bit of a skill imo. I've seen someone adapt one of the original ooni's with a microwave turntable motor underneath onto a circular pizza stone. TBH the rotating of them is easy and adds to the fun of cooking them..

Not really into DIY pizzas ('though I love those from the mobile pizza vans with integrated wood-burning ovens) but the one thing that strikes me from watching both the video above and those from Gozney is that a fortune awaits the man who successfully integrates a motorised turntable into those things. I know that I have to rotate my kebab seekhs by hand, but then so do the professionals, whilst a professional pizza chef just sticks in the pizza and it cooks evenly whilst the DIY home chef has to keep rotating the d@mned thing by hand ...

You mean like this Phil ?
