Vegetarian Means Vegan, Right?

Actually vegetarians tend to differ from what Vegans consider themselves to be. The exact reasons for why, evade me at the moment.

I eat plenty of vegetables but also enjoy eggs so I think this means I may be a vegetarian but I am not a vegan because eggs are not on their menu. I need to watch my calories and weight.

Veganism, if I may, seems to be more like a religion than just a healthy eating regime. I think the term is applied to not only eggs but even to wearing things that may have once been alive, like leather.

I have no feelings on this one way or another and think our life choices are just that, our life choices.

How to Buy a Commercial Pizza Oven - Important Tips To Help Choose The Right Oven

By Sue Quillen

If you are trying to find out how to buy a commercial pizza oven for your business setup, the following questions should be part and parcel of your research about the subject:

Should you buy a brick oven or a conveyor oven? Are gas ranges better than electric ranges when it comes to baking pizza? How about heated drawers? Would that actually serve your business' purpose?

As you could know, the oven is the middle of operation for any commercial pizza store. That implies : you want to invest a large amount of cash on one or more ovens to keep your business running. However, the most expensive oven isn't customarily the most cost-efficient solution; and neither is the largest sized model.

Here is a helpful list of two important questions you should ask yourself before puchase any new or used pizza oven::

1. What do you plan to sell?

Pizza would be an apparent answer, but what sized pizza would that be? Obviously, you would need a larger oven if your menu includes selling 16" (or larger) pies round the clock.

At the same time, if you are planning on selling other dishes apart from pies, you might want to set your sights away from conveyor style commercial ovens. These ovens are superb for huge bulk orders of pizzas.

Some models are specially designed to cook the pies about 1 in each five mins for maximum production. But these conveyor ovens may not serve you well if you are planning on serving other baked goodies like pasta, meat dishes, veggie dishes and pastries.

2. What kind of space are you prepared to dedicate to the oven in your kitchen?

Space is a real issue here. For one thing, this piece of cooking apparatus is going to be in an almost steady scorching temperature in the entire operational day. In terribly confined spaces, this will translate into a safety danger. You might want to take careful account of your available floor space, the approximate radiated heat potential (at the front and back of the oven, ) and the space relative the remainder of the counters, gizmos and cooking equipment you have.

I hope these tips will help you buy the best new or used commercial pizza oven for your business!
