How we cut pizza bake times from 5 minutes to 90 seconds

Most convection ovens work by heating up the air, and then waiting for that air to slowly soak into the dough. It’s a slow process. We decided to skip the middleman. By using 250W shortwave infrared tubes, we stop worrying about the air entirely. These tubes shoot energy straight into the food. The result? Your bake time drops from 300 seconds down to just 90. It’s fast. Really fast. And that changes everything for your kitchen’s flow. The heat is instant We went with the 250W rating because it gives you a concentrated blast of heat without melting your oven frame. Since this is radiation and not conduction, there’s no “warm-up” period. You don’t have to wait for the oven cavity to get saturated with heat before you slide a pie in. You just start cooking. This means you can push out way more pizzas without needing a bigger kitchen. Why quartz matters We build these tubes out of high-purity quartz. Standard glass would just crack under the pressure of rapid heating and cooling, but quartz handles the shock like a pro. The filaments are designed specifically to hit the wavelengths that water and fats love. That’s why the toppings bubble up so quickly. One quick tip: if you’re installing these into an old setup, make sure your sockets are tight. A loose fit is a recipe for arcing, and that’ll burn out your tubes way faster than they should. Finding the sweet spot Here is the catch: switching to IR changes how you think about heat. You’ll get a beautiful, fast sear on the cheese and toppings, but you still need that bottom heat from the stone to do its job. If you crank the IR tubes too high but your stone is cold, you’ll end up with burnt pepperoni and raw dough. It’s a balancing act. You’ll want to play around with the distance between the tube and the pizza to avoid any scorched spots. Also, don’t forget the shielding. You want the heat hitting the pizza, not your staff.

Stop Waiting on Your Oven to Catch Up

We’ve all been there. It’s the dinner rush, the tickets are piling up, and your oven just can’t keep pace. You slide in a cold pizza, the temperature drops, and suddenly you’re just standing there waiting for the heat to recover. It’s a total bottleneck. That’s why we use short-wave infrared quartz tubes. Instead of wasting time heating up the air around the food, these tubes send energy straight into the pizza. It’s a direct hit of heat. Why this actually works Traditional ovens have this annoying “thermal lag”—that gap where the oven is trying to get back to temperature. Quartz tubes don’t do that. Because the tungsten filament is wrapped in high-purity quartz glass, it hits full power in seconds. It’s fast. Really fast. And that changes everything for your workflow because your bake cycles shrink and you can push out way more orders per hour. Getting it installed We designed these to be simple drop-in replacements. You don’t need to rebuild your whole kitchen. The quartz glass is tough enough to handle “thermal shock,” so it won’t crack when you jump from idle to full blast. Most of our setups use standard R7s or SK15 connectors. This means if a tube eventually burns out, you can just swap it yourself without having to rewire the entire machine. One quick warning:**get your voltage right.**Make sure the tube matches your oven’s transformer exactly. If you plug a 230V tube into a 110V circuit without the right step-down, it’ll fry instantly. A few things to watch out for Now, this kind of heat is aggressive. Since it’s so intense, you can accidentally scorch the top of your crust if your racks aren’t set at the right height. You also need to make sure your ventilation is up to the task. These tubes dump heat quickly, and if the air can’t move, you risk warping the outer casing of the oven. And here is a pro tip:**keep the glass clean.**If grease builds up on the tube, it creates hotspots. That’s usually what causes the glass to fail early. Keep it wiped down, and it’ll last much longer.
