FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

The oven uses the heat from a heat source such as your hob: it rises up the sides into the lid, creating both top and bottom heat, similar to a traditional pizza oven. This allows the pizza to bake evenly, with a crispy base and a golden, melted topping.
For best results, preheat the oven for about 5 minutes before baking.

The oven works on all heat sources except induction. That means it can be used on gas cookers, electric cookers, ceramic hobs, barbecues, and even open fires!

A pizza is typically ready in about 7–8 minutes. Once the oven is fully preheated, the baking time may become shorter, especially when making several pizzas in a row.

The pizzas are about 15 cm in diameter, perfect for individual portions and for trying different toppings. Since they bake quickly, you can easily make several pizzas one after another and serve them hot and fresh.

Keep the toppings simple and not too wet and avoid overloading the pizza. A thinner base gives a crispier result. Also, keep an eye on the pizza while baking as it can cook quickly once the oven is hot.

It’s easy: once the oven has cooled down, clean it with warm water and mild washing-up liquid. It is not dishwasher safe. Wiping it down is often enough.

Oh yes! In addition to classic pizza, tarte flambé, pizza rolls, mini calzones, or sweet variations such as Nutella pizza or with apple and cinnamon work great too. Keep an eye out for our new ideas coming soon!

Yes! Whether the dough is homemade, from the chilled section or frozen – it all works.

The heat source should be on a medium flame or heat. Preheat the oven with the stainless-steel baking tray before baking the first pizza. Ensure that the cooker stands on a fireproof surface, as the surface can become very hot during prolonged use.

Yes indeed. Omnia®can used on all sources of heat except induction hobs. The challenge can be to figure out the right heat for the Omnia.

Yes, the Omnia®works on a Trangia stove. Place the oven where you would normally use the frying pan. https://youtu.be/Y8RK9yPpkUo https://youtu.be/TI1BBFNylc8

Yes, you can.

Yes, the Omnia®works great on an electric burner, preferably 2000W.

No, induction only produces under heat. And not enough.

The stainless steel base is magnetic and therefore works on induction. But the shape of the bowl means that there is not enough heat. In addition, it doesn’t create any hot air that provides the heat from above. Do not use Omnia® Classic on induction.

Yes, Omnia® Classic Original 2L and Omnia® Classic Maxi 3L.

No, the Omnia®is made only in aluminium.

No, it is not dangerous. You can keep using your Omnia. The Pan will just be a little rougher and not as nice and smooth as before.

No! Aluminum should be washed by hand to avoid discoloration.

Be careful with the heat, on a gas stove it’s easy to get too hot.

• On portable electric hot plate 2,000 W – use high heat.
• On an alcohol stove (like Origo/Cookmate) with an output of 2,000 W – a little less than half the output is usually fine.
• On a gas hob 2,500 W – start off testing just above the lowest flame.

Hint!

For short cooking times (10–20 minutes in total) and on an electric hot plate, the stainless steel base can be preheated on high heat for about 3 minutes. This facilitates the heating of the oven. Some bread and cakes need to be kick-started with a preheated base and oven at highest heat for 1 minute. Much like when you set a baking tray in a regular hot oven to get extra effect.

No, do not put water in the base. The bottom heat rises from the hot air.

Omnia® Classic is a construction made up of three parts. The parts must always be used together and provide both heat from above and below. The Omnia® oven is a specially designed round shape with a hole in the middle. It stands on a bowl-shaped base that also has a hole in the middle. The bowl shape conducts warm air from the heat source along the underside of the Omnia® oven and provides heat from below. The center holes in the base and the Omnia® dish allows the heat from the stove to rise up through the construction, hit the lid and provide heat from above. The lid has ventilation holes.

Our recipes are based on being prepared in an Omnia® Classic Original 2L. Omnia® Classic Maxi 3L is 50 percent larger. Therefore, in most recipes, you can increase the amount by half to double the batch. Start by increasing by half a batch only for recipes where the ingredients will rise in the pan during cooking. The cooking times are the same.

Damage to the Silicone Mold is usually caused by heat that is too high. Either the base was not used (it must always be used!) or the heat from the cooker was too high. If you are using an LPG cooker, it is especially important to be careful with the heat.

No, not at all. Everything you can do with a silicone mold, you can also do directly in a well-greased and floured (when baking) Omnia® pan. The silicone mold primarily provides easier cleaning of the dish. The molds are especially appreciated by those who cook gratins and other food that normally sticks to the pan. When baking, the silicone mold makes it easier to pick up and tap out the bread or cake.

Try washing it with lemon water. Tips from customers: Preheat the oven at home to 175 °C/350 °F. Wash the silicone mold and place it in the oven for about 30 minutes.

Wash it with warm water and washing-up liquid. It is also dishwasher safe.

The best way to clean the Omnia® oven is to let it stand for a while with cold water in it. The cold water dissolves the starch in the food. Then wash with a little washing-up liquid in warm water as usual.

Yes. If you use the Silicone Mold, it should always be generously greased and if you are using it to bake, flour it too.

No, do not put water in the base. The bottom heat rises from the hot air.
