Peter Reinhart getting a Forno Bravo oven

[pjones]

I just found this comment on Peter Reinhart's blog.

"For instance, tomorrow I am receiving shipment of a new Forno Bravo wood fired oven that is ready to use without building a frame or housing (it comes with its own stand and is ready to fire). It's small and moveable too. Can't wait to fire it up and report back on how it goes."

Re: Peter Reinhart getting a Forno Bravo oven

Hi guys,

It's true that Peter has a Primavera oven and we are waiting for him to fire it up. We're really (really) excited about this, but we are going to hold back saying a lot more about it until he starts using it (and really likes it).

He has mentioned the Primavera oven a couple of times in his blog, and he has poured a patio for the oven and set it in place. I hear it looks really good. Now we have to wait a little while longer -- and with some luck we will all start hearing about some serious wood-fired baking very shortly! Peter also noted that a few of you have started asking him about when he is going to using his new oven. Nice idea. :-)

Stay tuned.

James

Let's invite him on the forum!

And we'll need pictures,

Re: Peter Reinhart getting a Forno Bravo oven

Hey Jim,

Nice idea. I've been thinking about that. Peter did a session on eGullet a few years ago, where he answered questions live for a period of time.

After he's up and cooking (and through a new book proposal he is writing), we'll see if we can get him to swing by the FB Forum one evening.

Is anyone else a recipe tester for his new book?

Re: Peter Reinhart getting a Forno Bravo oven

I am a tester also, I try to test a recipe once a week, but I have been slowing down lately.

I'm a tester too, and I test the recipes in my WFO. Here's a bunch of PR's Struan from last night.

Re: Peter Reinhart getting a Forno Bravo oven

Annie,

Just recently, I've become a tester on the new book as well. Unfortunately, my oven is outside, so I won't be able to begin in earnest for about a week. Still way too much snow on the ground out there.

Cool! I'm bummed that I didn't find out about this until today; I would have loved to be a tester. I've been using Peter's recipes for many years.

Re: Peter Reinhart getting a Forno Bravo oven

Jim, I've been doing a lot of the testing in my regular gas oven as well as the WFO. It's a lot of fun.

DB, they are opening up the testing again in mid-March for new testers so check out Peter's blog for more info.
