ACR Stoves Pizza Oven – ‘The Best Bits’<\/p>\n
Log fired, Italian design and European manufacture.<\/p>\n
Reaches 500\u00b0C in 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
Premium insulation to retain heat.<\/p>\n
Chamotte oven base for the ultimate in authentic crispiness.<\/p>\n
Steel outer body with stainless steel inner, complete with insulation, for greater heat retention.<\/p>\n
Versatile – these pizza ovens can also be used for roasting, slow cooking and a host of additional delicious delicacies.<\/p>\n
We chat to Vicky Naylor, General Manager at ACR Stoves, who is on hand to offer her expert advice and to answer everyone’s most common pizza oven questions.<\/p>\n
How do I know what type of pizza oven is best for me?<\/p>\n
Space is key when deciding what type of pizza oven to buy. Not only for using the actual appliance but also storage as you may
\nhave to store it indoors to keep it weatherproof – so keep that in mind when making your selection. If you have a small garden,
\nyou need to make sure you can use it safely and not have to worry about the oven causing smoking issues where you (or your
\nneighbours) are sitting outside. Also, think about how many people you would like to be able to cater to. If you need to
\ncook a lot of pizzas in succession, the larger the oven the better at turning out pizza after pizza, but make sure that the
\noven is well insulated and able to keep the temperatures required to keep cooking continuously.<\/p>\n
What are the different fuel types for pizza oven?<\/p>\n
The fuel choices are wood, gas or pellet. Wood will always give the most authentic taste to your pizza and surprisingly few logs
\nare required to get the oven to temperature to commence cooking. Gas can be more convenient but then you do have a gas bottle to
\nhave to store too. Pellet ovens need a good supply of pellet
\nfuel which is not as easy to source and, once opened, you need to be sure that the fuel is kept super dry and as any amount of
\nmoisture will make the pellets swell meaning they can no longer be used.<\/p>\n
What can you cook in a pizza oven and how?<\/p>\n
Wood-fired pizza ovens are a must have in any outdoor kitchen. There\u2019s nothing quite like a wood-fired pizza with a bubbly yet
\ncrispy crust, oozing melted cheese, fresh herbs, and an array of toppings to suit every taste. Pizza ovens are not only fun and
\neasy to use, but they deliver a truly authentic flavour and texture that can\u2019t be achieved in a traditional oven.<\/p>\n
The advantages of a wood-fired pizza oven go beyond just cooking pizza. The possibilities of what to cook in your pizza oven are
\nendless; from side dishes such as homemade bread and vegetables, to fish and roasted meats and even desserts. You just need to
\nregulate the heat according to what you are cooking. For example, bread would require a medium hot oven, lasagne would
\nneed a cooler oven otherwise it would burn, and meat and fish are often best wrapped in foil and then slow roasted on a low
\nheat. Roasted vegetables are great when placed on a cast iron griddle plate and placed into a medium heat oven. Pizzas on the
\nother hand, will need to be cooked directly onto the base of a hot oven.<\/p>\n
Desserts are best cooked on a low heat oven, so the sugar doesn\u2019t burn \u2013 the first time I cooked a lemon meringue pizza,
\nit practically incinerated the meringue, but I soon learned that if you part cook the pizza base (about 1.5 minutes) and then
\nbring it out, add the lemon and the meringue before returning it to the oven for about another minute, it\u2019s far better!<\/p>\n
Where should a grill\/pizza oven be placed in a garden?<\/p>\n
While the location of an outdoor grill or pizza oven is a homeowner\u2019s personal choice, it is important to ensure that your
\noutdoor oven is no closer than 10 feet from the entrance to your home, and that there is ample ventilation for your oven to
\nprevent smoke inhalation for anyone nearby. It is also vital that you choose a location that is away from flammable materials
\nor structures such as a fence or shed.<\/p>\n
Preparation, cooking, and dining should all happen within the same reasonable space to remain comfortable. It therefore makes
\nsense to place your outdoor oven close to your indoor kitchen, so utilities such as plumbing can be shared, as well as the
\nconvenience of easy access to ingredients, crockery, and cutlery for example.<\/p>\n
It is advisable to avoid locating your outdoor oven under structures such as a gazebo to ensure the smoke can easily
\ndisperse. We would always recommend that you keep your oven covered when not in use to protect it from the weather.<\/p>\n
How much does a pizza oven cost and is it worth it?<\/p>\n
Prices can vary significantly with pizza ovens but as with most things in life, you get what you pay for. They are the perfect
\nsocial way of entertaining for friends and family. Our Bravo
\noven starts at \u00a3590.00 and our Vita Pizza Oven starts at \u00a3755.00, both offering superb economical and efficient cooking!<\/p>\n
Cooking with wood-fired ovens is faster and more flavourful and because the food cooks faster, more of the nutritional value is
\nleft than with conventional cooking methods.<\/p>\n
Pizza ovens offer a great way to cut energy costs, as instead of using electricity or gas, you use only wood to produce the heat
\nnecessary to cook. They are also a great back up in the event of your indoor oven not working or in a power cut, you still have a
\nway to cook a hot meal.<\/p>\n
How should you clean a pizza stone and pizza oven?<\/p>\n
The stone bases in ACR Stoves Pizza Ovens shouldn\u2019t need to be cleaned as they can reach temperatures of 500\u00b0C in 30 minutes.
\nTherefore, the heat will burn off most residues. If any stubborn substances remain, then scrape lightly using a specialised pizza
\nstone brush. You can also make a paste with 1 tablespoon of baking soda and water to spot-treat the area.<\/p>\n
For the pizza oven, always wait until your outdoor pizza oven has completely cooled before you start cleaning. The outside can
\nbe wiped over with a slightly damp cloth and then dried to prevent any rusting. The inside will need the ashes scraping out using an ash rake
\nand a fireplace shovel, or similar tools. Collect the ash and add to your compost bin.<\/p>\n
How much does it cost to run a pizza oven?<\/p>\n
I would suggest that you would need approximately 4 kiln dried logs, split into 3 pieces to both start the fire and maintain
\nenough heat to cook around 6 pizzas. A bag of kiln dried logs is around \u00a311 for
\n8 logs, so you would need approximately half of the bag for 6 pizzas, so about \u00a35.50, making it less than \u00a31 per pizza.<\/p>\n

ALMOST HALF OF CHILDREN IN BRITAIN WILL EAT A CHOCOLATE EGG FOR BREAKFAST THIS EASTER<\/p>\n
\u2022 Over two in five kids will eat three or more chocolate eggs on Easter Sunday
\n\u2022 Around a third of parents say chocolate affects the quality of their kids\u2019 sleep
\n\u2022 Sleep experts at Silentnight say children should stop gorging on chocolate three hours before bedtime to improve the chances of getting a good night\u2019s sleep<\/p>\n
Almost half (44%) of children in Britain will eat a chocolate egg for breakfast this Easter Sunday, new data published today has revealed.<\/p>\n
The nationwide survey, from sleep brand Silentnight, found over two in five kids wake up early on the big day to start their morning with a chocolatey treat.<\/p>\n
Over the whole weekend, a whopping 98% of kids will eat chocolate eggs, with over two in five (42%) scoffing down three or more on Easter Sunday alone.<\/p>\n
While the much-loved holiday should be celebrated and enjoyed, parents should also be mindful of potential sleep disruption, as increased sugar intake can have an impact on shut eye.<\/p>\n
The study, conducted by sleep experts at Silentnight, revealed that over a third (36%) of parents say chocolate affects the quality of their kids\u2019 sleep.<\/p>\n
Research conducted by sleep experts internationally has shown that people who have a high sugar content in their diet tend to have a shorter sleep duration and to sleep less deeply.<\/p>\n
That is because the body produces wake-promoting hormones when digesting sugar – which disrupts sleep.
\nAccording to Silentnight\u2019s Sleep Expert, Hannah Shore, children should stop eating chocolate around three hours before bedtime to better promote a good night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n
Hannah said: \u201cA high sugar diet can affect sleep quality because as the body is digesting the sugar, it can prompt the body to produce extra wake-promoting hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we eat too much sugar too close to bedtime, these hormones are produced when we are trying to sleep meaning a reduction in deep, slow wave sleep.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, eating small amounts of chocolate releases endorphins and serotonin, making you feel happier, so small amounts may actually be good for our mental health.<\/p>\n
\u201cRealistically, kids are going to be excited to see that the Easter Bunny has been, so they will eat chocolate this weekend, as they should!<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, Easter may disrupt sleep for a day or two, but that\u2019s ok. Try to get your child to stop eating chocolate around three hours before bedtime on Easter Sunday and then get back into their usual routine in the following days.\u201d<\/p>\n
Here are Hannah\u2019s three top tips to help kids dodge these adverse effects on sleep while indulging this Easter:<\/p>\n
1. Limit sugar consumption
\nParents should try to ensure kids don\u2019t eat too many chocolate eggs in one day, to limit the spike in blood sugar and wake-promoting hormones.<\/p>\n
2. Don\u2019t eat sugar too close to bedtime
\nThe general rule of thumb to avoid sugar negatively affecting sleep quality is to avoid consuming it within three hours of going to bed.<\/p>\n
3. Follow a normal bedtime routine
\nSticking to your kid\u2019s usual bedtime routine can help prepare the body for sleep and result in a deeper, better-quality sleep. A normal wind-down routine should last at least one hour.<\/p>\n
Remember that your child may use more energy than usual over Easter due to seasonal activities such as egg hunts and seeing family and friends, so your little one might cry out for sleep earlier in the evening after crashing.<\/p>\n

How can we take extra care when consuming more sugar than normal?
\n‘The main thing to understand about the effect of sugar on the teeth is that sugar can cause tooth decay if the teeth are exposed to sugar often throughout the day. The more frequently sugar is ingested – the more chance there is of developing tooth decay. On the other hand, the longer the teeth are sugar free the more time they have to recover from the demineralisation effect caused by the sugar. If the teeth are continually bathed in sugar – they can’t remineralise.

Want an eggs-cellent Easter? Hide chocolate away from your pets, vets warn
\nVets are calling on pet owners to safely secure all chocolate treats and hot cross buns well out of reach of curious animals to avoid an emergency trip to the vets over the Easter weekend.
\nEaster can spark a deluge of chocolate treats into UK households, leading to a spike in cases of chocolate poisoning among pets. And with traditional egg hunts further exacerbating the risks, the British Veterinary Association (BVA) has issued a warning to owners along with a handy guide to recognising the symptoms.
\nBritish Veterinary Association Senior Vice President Justine Shotton said:
\n\u201cSweet treats and egg hunts are a fun part of Easter for many families but it\u2019s vital we all take steps to protect our pets and avoid cutting the celebrations short with an emergency trip to the vets. Chocolate eggs and bunnies, and even hot cross buns, may seem harmless but can be life-threatening for some pets, especially dogs, who can get extremely sick even from small amounts.
\n\u201cAs a vet, I’ve treated many cases of chocolate ingestion over the holidays. Luckily, the vast majority of pets were brought in quickly meaning we could treat them successfully. I\u2019d urge every owner to be aware of the risks of chocolate and rasin or grape poisoning so they can act promptly should the worst happen.\u201d
\nChocolate, especially dark chocolate and cocoa powder, can be dangerous for all pets even in very small quantities. Dogs are particularly susceptible to poisoning due to a chemical called theobromine, which is found naturally in cocoa beans. Theobromine takes a long time to be broken down inside a dog\u2019s digestive system, which means that even a tiny amount of chocolate can result in toxic levels, especially for smaller dogs and puppies.
\nChocolate toxicity cases often spike over celebratory periods such as Easter and Christmas and, with many practices closed, accessing emergency care can be more difficult and will be more costly than usual for worried owners. BVA\u2019s Voice of the Veterinary Profession surveys from 2016 to 2018 revealed that six in ten vets (60%) had treated cases of chocolate poisoning over Easter each year. Raisins and sultanas, found in hot cross buns and simnel cakes, and xylitol (found in sugar-free treats) can also be dangerous for dogs and cats if ingested.
\nSymptoms of chocolate poisoning usually appear within 12 hours of ingestion and can last for up to three days. Initially, pets are likely to experience excessive thirst, vomiting, diarrhoea and restlessness. This can develop into symptoms of hyperactivity, tremors, abnormal heart rate, hyperthermia and rapid breathing. Severe cases may result in fits and heartbeat irregularities, and even coma and death. Grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure in some dogs so your vet may recommend your pet has blood tests or is put on fluids if there is any delay in being seen.
\nAccessing veterinary treatment as soon as possible after eating chocolate or other toxic foods is often critical to a positive outcome. If you notice these symptoms in your dog and suspect chocolate or grape ingestion, seek veterinary advice as soon as possible. Your vet will want to know how much toxic food your pet has eaten and what type. If possible, keep any labels and wrappers and have the weight of your pet to hand.

With a strong involvement from McGinley himself, who is a regular visitor to the resort, the academy aims to cultivate and improve golfers\u2019 play by providing them with the tools and techniques used on the professional Tours. The academy focuses especially on younger players, working in collaboration with local schools and is the perfect way to follow in the footsteps of the pros.<\/p>\n
\u2022 TaylorMade Performance Centre \u2013 Quinta do Lago\u2019s TaylorMade Performance Centre is the only facility of its kind in Portugal and is located on the resort\u2019s expansive driving range.
