      G'day
      Having thought about this much to long now I decided like the song said to
      " Take a walk on the dark side " and give this a go. Armed with a stack of conflicting recipes and some very ordinary U-tube videos, I flashed the oven up.
      A hour and a bit burn not saturated but hot 440C on the hearth

      Maxed out my door thermometer had to withdraw it from the door
      Into a baking dish Lamb forequarter chops ( Lamb shoulder) onion, potato, whole garlic cloves, fresh rosemary, sage, thyme, and oregano and 250ml of veg stock. Entombed the baking dish in a generous layer(s) of cooking foil. and into the oven

      Not by as much as I had thought it would......would it be Chinese takeaway? I was thinking about those uninsulated Greek ovens !

      Absolutely bloody beautiful!!!! the meat was like butter and the flavour..... the dish was full of juice and I made a gravy on this. With temp still as high as it was a bread wasn't going to work so I flattened the dough out into a baking dish and with the door off made a simple focaccia

      All in all it was damn good, the main think that surprised me that with extended cooking you lose a lot of the flavour of your herbs and spices. It was certainly not the case the flavours were still strong. Anyway Daves not produce a bad dish from the oven yet and my score remains intact.

          Glad to see you have finally tried this amazing dish.
          I have done this now with shanks, Forequarter lamb chunks, steak, ribs etc various takes on the same theme. Nicest was the smoked paprika version more Moroccan style. all dishes cooked this way are amazing and it makes sense to use all that heat produced on a pizza cook up this way.

          It works every bloody time who'd have thought cooking at such high temp and for that long would not produce other than burnt mess.

          Secrete is in keeping the moisture in I am now looking for a baking dish that will seal better.
