usually by hot air. Several kinds of ovens are used in
baking.

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.

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