If you’re troubleshooting your oven, there’s plenty to look at. However, did you know checking the heat flux can be the best non-intrusive indicator of how well your oven's preforming? What is heat flux? The definition is, “the amount of energy transferred per unit area per unit time from or to a surface.” Or more simply, [...]
Why should you fine-tune your oven? Because that means you're fine tuning your product. Texture, moisture, volume, color and shelf life are all tied to how your product bakes in the oven. To fully optimize your product and process, there are parameters to monitor and control: Four Oven Baking Parameters Temperature: The most understood and [...]
Oven Heat Flux Also known as flow of heat during baking What is Oven Heat Flux? Heat flux is one of five critical parameters in baking operations. It is defined as the amount of energy transferred per unit area per unit time from or to the product surface and is expressed in [...]
Oven Baking Parameters What are Oven Baking Parameters? Oven baking parameters cover five key variables that are involved in transforming dough or batter into a finished product. These parameters can be measured and controlled during the baking step. Understanding their interactions and role in producing high quality products is considered both an [...]
