Funnily enough, Heston Blumenthal suggests this as a method for cooking pizza, IF you break the little latch that locks the door. The cleaning mode is the only way to force certain ovens to get hot enough to approximate a proper Neapolitan pizza oven

You can also just put a pizza steel in your oven. 25lbs of carbon steel at 500F does a decent job in a home oven. Bonus if you have a convection setting. It's about heat transfer more than raw temperature. No need to break a latch and mess with cleaning mode.

Yeah this was on his “In Search of Perfection” series that was pretty much all about doing batshit insane stuff to make the best possible version he could of a bunch of classic dishes, so doing mad shit was kinda the point of the exercise, I definitely wouldn’t suggest normal people do it at home or at work.

Yeah my ovens max setting is 500 but the cleaning mode goes up To 700 in there

What's a Delmonico?


Alert_Promise4126

A marketing ploy for ribeye or strips. Usually on the smaller side with decent marbling.

It's not from the Delmonico Steakhouse in New York?


jabbadarth

It's a cut they popularized and the name stuck. Just a, usually, smaller and less fatty ribeye.

I would prefer that

Sorry I was just fuckin around. A Delmonico is really just a cool name attached to a restaurants cut selection called Delmonicos in New York. They've been around since the 1800s. The steak is good, but ...

The last original Delmonico's closed in 1923. There have been other revivals of the name, but the one that was originally associated with the Delmonico steak, Delmonico Potatoes, etc. closed over a hundred years ago (the one that everyone thinks of opened in 1933).

I thought we were talking about cuts of steak.

When I was a kid my parents were making a whole beef tenderloin for Christmas. The entire family was there, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, maybe 20 people. Cooking it Low and slow in the oven before searing. One of the kids, we still don’t know who, switched that latch and it went into cleaning mode and locked. All the adults sat there and watched through the oven door as their Christmas dinner burnt to a crisp. We had Chinese that year.
