Before you do purchase that oven there are plenty of factors to consider. The oven is the heart of most restaurant kitchens. The style of oven that your restaurant requires depends on the type of cooking you will do. There are four primary types of ovens: convection ovens, conveyor ovens, cook and hold ovens, and pizza ovens.- Convection Ovens-Convection ovens are much like standard ovens except that they are equipped with a fan that helps circulate the air inside. As a result, heat flows more evenly throughout the oven, resulting in faster cooking times and more uniformly cooked food.
- Conveyor Oven-Conveyor ovens offer the advantage of consistency with its design. Once you set the cooking temperature and conveyor speed, you just need to place the food at the opening of the oven and wait for it to come out on the other end of the tunnel.
- Cook and Hold Oven-Much as its name suggests, cook and hold ovens allow you to cook food and keep it warm without having it dry out for a period of time - up to 24 hours.
- Pizza Oven-There are a variety of pizza ovens available, but the most typical style found in pizzerias is the pizza deck oven. This type of oven features a single compartment that allows you to slide one or more pizzas into the oven for simultaneous cooking.
