AnkurCS Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Looking for a Neapolitan Pizzaiolo/Fornino. Direct wood-fired oven experience preferred, but willing to train the right candidate. Inquires: info@pizzacs.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Seeing as though: 1) This is the first time "fornino" has ever been used on donrockwell.com, other than as a name of a restaurant in Brooklyn 2) Google Translate translates the Italian "fornino" into the English "fornino" 3) Googling "fornino definition" gives this as a result 4) The word isn't in any online English dictionaries I've looked in 5) The Italian word for "oven" is "forno" I don't feel *that* guilty for asking: What the hell does it mean? Is it someone who tends the oven? And, have you had any luck filling the position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkurCS Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 I don't feel *that* guilty for asking: What the hell does it mean? Is it someone who tends the oven? And, have you had any luck filling the position? Don - your guess was correct, the fornino is the oven tender. And we're still looking for the right candidate for Pizza CS. THE FORNINO The baker of the pizzeria, the fornino wields a long-handled peel to transfer the pizza to the oven. As it cooks, he moves and rotates it a few times to ensure an even char, lifting it toward the flame-licked oven roof at the end of the process so the toppings emerge bubbling hot. A good fornino will cook a pizza to perfection in less than two minutes. "The Anatomy Of A Pizzeria" by Keith Pandolfi on saveur.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
