What is a Pizza Oven Brush?

What is a Pizza Oven Brush?

In short, this is a cooking tool used within large wood-fired ovens. The purpose of a pizza oven brush is to keep your pizza oven running smoothly by offering easy cleaning and maintenance. 

Usually, they’ll have a long handle with strong bristle brushes at the end. These bristles remove dough, burnt cheese, toppings, and other ingredients from your ovens surface. It’s also common that you’ll find a pizza oven scraper attached to these brushes. I always love going with these options since they help scrape off that hard to remove cooked debris. 

What are the Benefits of Using a Pizza Oven Brush? 

There are three very important benefits to consider if you’re on the fence about purchasing a pizza oven brush. 

They maintain a clean cooking surface. No one wants to cook, much less eat pizza that’s been baked on a dirty cooking surface. These brushes are amazing at removing all that leftover baked-on debris that gets stuck on the cooking surface. 

They are easy to use. These tools are designed for comfort and ease of use. They’re perfect for scraping off burnt cheese or toppings in between pies or at the end of the day. In a matter of minutes, you’ll have a clean pizza oven ready for its next use. 

They keep users safe from burns. I always recommend going with a brush that offers long handles. This will keep you at a distance when it’s time to clean your hot oven. This means you can continue to bake delicious pies without burning yourself in the cleaning process! 

With this said, it’s a no brainer that your kitchen (domestic or commercial) needs a pizza oven brush! How do you choose the right one for you, your kitchen, and your staff? Keep reading to find out.

Things to Consider When Buying a Pizza Oven Brush

Design 

You want to keep in mind a few things when looking at the design of your brush. 

For starters, you’ll find that while one end consists of a brush the other will have a pizza oven scraper. This will allow for very thorough cleaning of your oven. Not all models include the added scraper, but I always recommended models that come equipped with one. 

Also, not all options can be used within a hot oven. Some require you to let your oven cool down before cleaning. With this being said, always read the user instructions. My reviews cover whether or not the pizza brush can be used around hot coals or ash. 

Length 

The length of the handle differs from brush to brush. The right one for you depends on your oven size. If you have a very deep oven, go with a longer handle. If it’s quite small, a longer handle may make cleaning difficult. 

Price 

Everyone has a budget – whether you’re looking for a domestic or commercial pizza oven brush. Fortunately, these accessories won’t break the bank (as long as you invest in the right one!)

I can’t stress enough how important a handle is when purchasing a pizza brush, however, some models sell them separately, such as the Vogue Pizza Oven Brush. In cases like these, be sure to take into account both the price of the brush as well as handle. 

You can expect to pay anywhere from 15 to 50 pounds for a quality brush. And when making a wise investment such as the models listed in this guide, you can expect this cooking tool to last you years! 

Conclusion 

Regardless if you own a small outdoor pizza oven or commercial 3-deck model, a pizza brush is essential to cleaning and maintaining your oven properly. 

If you’re a business, you need to make sure your staff is well equipped with all the tools they need to cook high-quality pizzas. This includes a durable and reliable pizza oven brush. 

All in all, this tool is necessary not only for the thorough cleaning of your appliance but also for the safety of the person cooking.
