How to Choose a Commercial Oven

When choosing a commercial oven, you should start with the product. Crust-led bread and pizza point towards a deck oven while even, high-volume baking is better served by a convection or rack oven. From there, weigh up batch size, floor space and whether steam is a priority for your production needs or not. Choosing a deck oven or choosing a rack oven is a significant decision, and our guides were made to help you weigh what matters most for your setup.

Ovens for Bread, Pastry and Foodservice

What comes out of your kitchen should shape what equipment goes into it. For bread and pizza products that require an even crust, a commercial deck oven delivers the direct heat and steam that build genuine artisan character. When volume becomes the priority, a rack oven takes a full trolley through the bake at once, built for bakeries producing products at serious scale. Pastries and delicate batch work call for something gentler and more even, such as a commercial convection oven, where circulating air ensures every tray browns consistently. And where a kitchen’s output spans both bakery and broader foodservice, from bread through to roasts, a combi oven offers the flexibility to handle it all in one unit. As product ranges grow, so does the equipment mix, as most established bakeries end up running several oven types side by side.

Commercial Oven Frequently Asked Questions

Which commercial oven is best for a bakery?

The best oven for a bakery depends entirely on what you’re baking. Deck ovens suit artisan bread and pizza, where crust and colour matter most. Convection ovens are better suited to pastries and even, high-volume baking. Rack ovens are built for serious throughput, and combi ovens offer the flexibility to handle a broader range of work. Vanrooy’s team of bakery specialists are here to guide you to the oven that’s genuinely right for what you bake.

Should I choose a Deck or convection oven?

We recommend choosing a deck oven for crust-led bread and pizza, where direct heat delivers genuine artisan character. Alternatively, choose a convection oven for even, high-volume browning across a broader range of products. Many bakeries run both as their range grows, matching each oven to what it does best.

Do you supply commercial pizza ovens?

Yes. Alongside our dedicated pizza deck oven range, standard deck ovens are also well suited to pizza production, delivering the direct heat that builds genuine crust and colour. Whether you’re running a dedicated pizza operation or pizza alongside a broader bakery range, we can help match the right oven to your setup.

Do you supply Electric or gas commercial oven?

We supply electric commercial ovens, offering precise temperature control, clean operation and stable recovery between loads. Electric is our focus across the range, giving bakeries reliable, consistent performance without the infrastructure demands of gas, however our team can explore gas options with you upon request.
