The first thing on convections to go is the doors. Blodgett has the best warranty and the best constructionon on the doors.
No oven is perfect. Period
Basically with an electric convection you have the heating coils wrapped around the squirrel cage fan. With gas, the burners are at at the bottom of tahe oven and the fan sucks up the hot air and blows it. If the fans run in one direction, your product will lean towards one direction. If the fan is are very powerfull, your product will lean forward and sideways
A really, really good convection will have a fan that runs in one direction for a few minutes, then stop, and then run in the other direction for a few minutes, Decent ovens will have a two speed fan.
Convection ovens are true workhorses, perfect for catering or large volume operations. Muffins and cakes tend to lean to one side, not much effect on breads. No oven is perfect, you will still have to turn pans around occasionaly. |
