Summary
Choosing the right oven (deck or convection) is key for new micro-bakeries, as each suits different baking needs and offers unique advantages.
For a fledgling micro-bakery, choosing the right oven is crucial. The most common types of ovens on the market are deck ovens and convection ovens, each with its own advantages and suitable for different baking needs. So, which one is right for you?
Deck ovens: More suitable for traditional bread & artisanal baking
Heating method: Independent top and bottom heating, stable temperature, strong controllability.
Suitable products: Baguettes, European-style bread, toast, croissants, and other breads that require bottom heat support.
Advantages: Independent control, each layer can be set to different temperatures, suitable for diverse baking; gentle heating, good moisture retention, more even bread expansion; suitable for manual operation, especially for products requiring stone baking.
Disadvantages: Relatively low output, continuous production efficiency is not as good as convection ovens.
Convection ovens: More suitable for batch baking & even browning
Heating method: Hot air circulation, forced convection, more even heating.
Suitable products: Small buns, Danish pastries, puff pastries, cakes, cookies, and other products that require rapid baking.
Advantages: Even heating, consistent browning, suitable for large-scale production; rapid temperature rise, shortened baking time, increased output efficiency; simple operation, reduced manual intervention.
Disadvantages: High air velocity, which may affect light doughs (such as croissant layers, puff pastry expansion)
