Single Deck Oven

A deck oven is a large, enclosed baking chamber with one or more shelves or decks. The oven is heated by either gas or electricity, and the heat is evenly distributed throughout the baking chamber by forced hot air circulation.Deck ovens are so called because the items to be baked either on sheet pans or in the case of some breads, freestanding are placed directly on the bottom or deck of the oven. There are no racks for holding pans in deck ovens. Deck ovens are also called stack ovens because several may be stacked on top of one another.Deck ovens are typically a centerpiece of any artisan bread bakery, a deck oven is a crucial piece of baking equipment when seeking to attain a beautiful, crusty loaf of bread. Having a quality deck oven is just as necessary for a bread bakery as a heavy duty spiral mixer.
