OVENS

Ovens are the workhorses of the bakery and pastry shop and are essential
for producing the bakery products. Ovens are enclosed spaces in which food
is heated, usually by hot air. Several kinds of ovens are used in baking.

A. DECK OVENS are so called because the items to be baked either on sheet
pans or in the case of some bread freestanding are placed directly on the
bottom, or deck of oven. This is also called STACK OVEN because several
may be stacked on top of one another. Breads are baked directly on the floor
of the oven and not in pans. Deck oven for baking bread are equipped with
steam ejector.

1. RACK OVEN is a large oven into which entire racks full of sheet pans can
be wheeled for baking.

2. MECHANICAL OVEN The food is in motion while it bakes in this type of
oven. The most common types are a revolving oven, in which his mechanism
is like that of a Ferris wheel. The mechanical action eliminates the problem
of hot spots or uneven baking because the mechanism rotates throughout
the oven. Because of its size it is especially used in high volume operations.
It can also be equipped with steam ejector.

3. CONVECTION OVEN contains fans that circulate the air and distribute the
heat rapidly throughout the interior. Strong forced air can distort the shape
of the products made with batter and soft dough
