Understanding conventional ovens

Conventional range ovens heat the interior oven air and walls with burners or heating elements usually placed at the bottom of the cavity. The food cooks from the outside in as naturally occurring currents of hot air pass around the food.

Several factors however decrease the efficiency of conventional ovens:


1) Food naturally holds a cold pocket of air and moisture around its exterior, deflecting the heated currents of air passing randomly around the cavity.

 

2) Different configurations of food items cause differing patterns of air currents, which in turn can affect the cooking process. Since heat rises, food in the middle racks is often undercooked while the food closest to the burner and the top is well done.

 

3) Cooking times for conventional range ovens tend to be long and capacity limited, restricting food production efficiency.

Alternatives to conventional range ovens

 The following oven categories reduce the problems associated with conventional range ovens and increase food production and versatility of use.

A combination of convection heat and microwave energy gives these ovens the power to cook about twelve times faster than conventional cooking ovens. Use accelerated cooking ovens to cook, bake, toast and brown a variety of menu items.

Combi Ovens


Combi ovens, or combination ovens, have the ability to cook, bake and steam menu items within the same cooking compartments, saving space and energy in your commercial kitchen. Both electric and gas models are available depending on your kitchen's power capabilities.

Conveyor Ovens


Consistency is the name of the game when it comes to commercial conveyor ovens. Perfect for restaurants that produce a large number of similar products, such as pizzas or sandwiches, these ovens cook with either impingement heat or radiant heat to cook evenly and efficiently.

Convection Ovens

Although they are not as speedy as accelerated ovens, commercial convection ovens have cost-saving production capacities. This feature makes convection ovens great for high-volume kitchens. They cook by circulating hot air throughout the entire cooking space, effectively cooking many foods evenly and at one time.




Additional oven options

While still allowing for versatility, the following ovens meet specific cooking needs.
