What the AI looks for in Commercial Ovens
- Pan fit
- Full-size ovens take 18 x 26 inch sheet pans; half-size take 13 x 18 inch Your existing pans determine which oven size works.
- Depth
- Standard depth versus bakery depth Bakery depth lets sheet pans load in either direction, which helps bakeries.
- Oven type
- Convection for general use; combi when you need steam; deck for pizza and artisan bread Each type does a different job, and convection fans can dry out delicate items.
- Stacking
- Confirm a double-stack kit is available Stacking doubles capacity in the same floor space.
- Water quality (combi)
- Install the manufacturer-specified water filtration Scale is the leading cause of combi oven failure.
