sister, they change ovens fairly often as the “quality” of the clay has deteriorated… read, the ovens crack after a while. This shape is custom made for them, but I was too embarrassed to ask who or where I could get them…

Just ask Osang- ovens like that may just be a local Bohol product. After all, why reinvent the wheel. Million dollar question is will the broas taste look and tast the same with the new oven or has Osang’s already worn out a few similar ovens in the last 50 years?

Nice piece on Aling Osang’s oven. I just remembered that in our province in Magalang, Pampanga the local baker would also engage in “sidelines” by baking slabs of liempo in his oven. This was often by special request for family gatherings or simple drinking fare. The result was like the photo of the yummy pork skin in your latest photo (assuming it is pork, LOL). But sadly, I don’t know if the local baker uses a gas oven or a traditional oven similar to Aling Osang’s.

do let me know if you can find someone who can make the oven MM. Would love one for myself and all the pizzas my nephews eat.

They only have one small oven and can churn out lots of yummies? Amazing! Ang galing ng Pinoy at ang sarap magluto!

I bet they can also bake super pizzas in this oven. Will give Viking a run for their money…

Curious MM, how do they close the oven when baking? … Nice idea to have a terracota oven! I am sure you can get one made and have it outdoors with it’s own chimmney. You can bake, roast etc….

I remember reading of the Orosa Palayok Oven that Maria Orosa used to bake cakes and other goodies in during the Japanese Occupation. Same principle but she uses the regular shaped round palayok. I do not know if her cookbook is still in print but it is a very interesting read as she uses lots of indigenous ingredients for healthy meals that she used to smuggle in for captured Guerillas jailed at the UST.
