so much in life is timing


A coal-fired pizza oven can go through 100 pounds of high grade Pennsylvania anthracite in a single day.

Coal ovens impart a distinctive smokey taste to a very crispy crust, and it can reach 1200 degrees fahrenheit in there, too.

Once I asked a pizza oven baker how long it takes to bake a pie at that temperature.

He said... “At 57 seconds I pay close attention. 
At 58 seconds I get ready to pull it out.”

“It’s done at 59 and I can still serve it at 60 seconds. 
But at 61...”

“...we throw it away.”
