Clay Oven In Nigeria. by Tendd: 12:29am On Nov 23, 2023
I saw this news about Palestinians using clay oven to bake breads because of shortage of power supply and l wondered if these were common or worth emulating here in Nigeria.We already have very little power supply in the country coupled with high prices of basic commodities and baking our breads at home will very much reduce our daily expenditure since most of us consume bread daily.This would also be beneficial for people suffering from diabetes and other fat related diseases as one can then decide on the amount of sugar to be added to the fluor before baking.

We still practice subsistence farming in Nigeria, don't we.That is even more ancient but still a very healthy method for food production than mass or industrial production.l see no problems in having a clay oven to bake breads for sustenance and survival.This is normal in most of North Africa and the middle east.
The people of Palestine had a steady power supply until recently.We even don't have enough power supply in Nigeria.And prices of basic commodities are just too high for the common man.

Subsistence farming is not unique to Nigeria nor is it meant to be done away with. It is a sensible means of livelihood that makes sense no matter the age one lives in. undecided

2. Yes, there are poor African and Middle Eastern countries where these ovens are still used but you are suggesting that this ancient idea be introduced into Nigeria in the year 2023/2024, and that is cause to laugh. Please consider the potential cost of this idea to say Nigerian forests at least. At least know say na firewood these ovens require and as e dey so, the country's forest cover is already at a dangerous low.

3. Why you keep comparing Nigeria to Palestine is beyond me abeg! undecided

I am not for or against the idea mind you. I am just on the side laughing at how ridunculous the situation has gotten. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Electricity is one of the oldest form of technology in the world but we still can't supply it enough in Nigeria,so what's wrong with clay oven.lf people still cook food by firewoods in the country,l see no problems in finding woods for baking bread.lt won't be hard to find.There is constant electricy and running water and also infrastructural development in Palestine than what we see in Nigeria.Corruption is also at minimum level.Sadly,all is controlled by lsrael and that is why there's war.

Kobojunkie, the OP made some valid points. If I understand him well, he didn't say commercial bakeries should use clay ovens. He was talking about home baking. He even mentioned the advantage of home baking for people with some health challenges.
In the west, many households bake their bread and other baked foods. They are able to do this because of constant power.
Sadly, in Nigeria we hardly do homesteading or homemade goods. For few people who are interested to bake their bread at home, what do you suggest given the poor power supply in Nigeria?
Nigerians should learn how to make lots of their food at home if they can. Foods such as bread, pizza, yogurt, wines/beer, all have homemade versions in most countries, except Nigeria.

Even in some countries like Italy, they mostly still prefer their traditional outdoor oven.
