The compound term refers to a specific outdoor cooking setup. It encompasses three distinct elements: an igloo-shaped pizza oven, designed for high-temperature baking; and a churrasqueira, a type of barbecue grill typically used in South America, particularly Brazil, for roasting meats. This configuration facilitates diverse culinary applications, from crafting authentic Neapolitan-style pizzas to grilling various cuts of meat.
Such an outdoor cooking station provides numerous advantages. It allows for the preparation of diverse meals in an open-air environment, enhancing the cooking experience. The combination of high-heat pizza baking and traditional grilling capabilities expands the culinary repertoire available to the user. Historically, wood-fired ovens have been central to communal cooking practices, while churrasqueiras represent a cultural tradition of social gatherings around food.
