Baking – Gas or electric for rack oven in a bakery

bakingequipmentgasoven

I plan to purchase a rotating rack oven for my bakery. What type (gas or electric) would achieve the best result for pastries and small breads?

Best Answer

Electric is generally better for baking. Gas ovens introduce a bit of water vapor due to the combustion of the gas. In general, electric ovens also have smaller variations in temperature during the oven cycle than gas, and so maintain a more even heat.
