Single wall ovens that fit a commercial size cookie sheets?

8 years ago

I'm looking at single wall ovens and I'm having a hard time figuring out which ones fit a commercial size cookie sheet. Does an easy online reference exist for this feature? The better consumer grade ovens I have looked at are all too narrow so, I'm wondering if the prosumer or commercial wannabe ovens for home use will fit these cookie sheets and still make great cookies or, if I need to just buy smaller cookie sheets with more clearance for good air flow. I also want a bread proofing mode if al all possible.

Thanks,

Sid

I have a Bluestar 30" electric wall oven. It fits a full size sheet pan. I don't use that pan for cookies (I use stones for cookies), but I do use it for 24 creme brulees and it works perfectly. Also, the height is perfect IMO and I have the french doors so I don't have to lean across and open door at the bottom.

Oh, and it proofs fine (and makes yogurt on proof mode too)!

Well there's a BlueStar 36" wall oven that can accommodate an 18"x26" baking sheet (just a matter of how important this is to you ....)

Ideally, I want a 30" width. I considered the Capital stove but, I want something waist high so I don't have to bend over too look at cookies and bread or heave a heavy roast/turkey or Dutch oven out for the holidays.

Best single wall oven for baking?

I have an Electrolux wall oven and Wolf DF range. I would not recommend them though because the blue enamel has eroded and chipped in both. Electrolux will only cover the interior of the oven for the first year. If you buy their extended warranty, it is excluded. They both work great though as far as baking. It is a shame such good ovens are ruined by this problem. I baked a long time with conventional ovens and usually go more for simple but I do like having the various modes. edit-When you looking at interior measurements, look at the rack size. When you have convection fans, they can take away part of the usable space in the back. There may even be a notch around the fan. Even when a "flat back" is advertised, this may mean the back is flat but still is where the front of the fan is. Also top to bottom, consider the distance from the rack to the top element. Also look at light placement. One oven I had recently had the lights placed so low, you could not see what you were baking. This post was edited by wekick on Thu, Mar 13, 14 at 12:17

Final question of the day...30 or 36 inch single wall oven
Q
Comments (6)
Hi all, Can someone help me figure out the difference in power and functioning in the induction cooktops. I have decided to get a 36 inch induction and have been looking at the inductionsite website, but don't really understand what power to look at. I am considering Wolf (5 elements, 2 boost) and Diva (5 elements no boost) and also Electrolux and Miele which are both 5 element, 5 boost. I can't figure out where there is power sharing and from a pure heat capacity per burner, which is better. It seems that Wolf does have an advantage in higher capacity in the largest burner (without and with the boost). But I am really not sure I understand all the implications. Thanks

Anyone have the GE Single/Double Wall Oven? (Model PT925DNBB)
Q
Comments (13)
I bought this oven and it was installed about 3 weeks ago. It is so nice! I haven't used the bottom oven yet. The top oven heats up in about 6 min., much quicker than heating the full size of a single wall oven. I like that the doors aren't as tall as a full oven door so they don't stick out as much when open. Consumers report gave this oven the highest rating for capacity. The only drawback I have notices is that is unless the rack in the top oven is on the lowest position, you can't see into the pan to visually check the food. But I usually just go by the bake time and it's not really a problem. The oven had a better price on line and local appliance stores (here) don't match internet prices. But there was a weekend sale at local appliance store (but they wanted $85 to deliver). Another local appliance store matched the price and did free delivery. For $135 they delivered, installed and removed the old oven and packing materials. I'm really happy with this oven!

Wolf Steam Con Oven plus a single wall oven, has to be Wolf too?
Q

I went to see the Miele CSO and oven last Friday, and I really like the CSO especially it being plumbed the the XL is big enough. The interface is great, perfect for anyone that's new to steam ovens. The regular oven is pretty much just fine. However, I still like the Wolf's look more, Miele is more modern clean look while Wolf has more rounded edges and the warmth feeling to it...I know that's so superficial LOL! One thing I am curious is, the sales guys at either Pacific Sales or Pirch all told me they would recommend Wolf, even though Miele is a superior product. I wonder if they get a lot more commission when they sell Wolf?? Also, the sales guy said if I get Miele, it's best to get the Miele installation because Miele will double the warranty makes it 2 years instead of 1. Did you get that too?

The BS 30" does as well but I would want to see how much air can circulate

There is also a baking sheet between the 1/2 and full. It is made by Nordic and called the Big baking sheet.

Yes, the 3/4 size sheet pans can be found in most restaurant supplies in a heavy gauge aluminum. They work very well in 36" ranges that don't quite hold a full-size pan.

i personally find full-size sheet pans cumbersome at home, especially without a baker's rack to accommodate them. In smaller kitchens, it can be difficult to maneuver these trays when hot.

I use half sheets because they are easier to handle, wash, store and put in the fridge but it might be nice to be able to use them side by side which might be possible if the oven holds a full sheet.

The other alternative is not a wall oven but a tabletop commercial oven, which can be ordered in 1/4, 1/2 and full sheet size and some come with control of humidity.

Thanks Debbi! If nothing else, at least I can roast a full pan of veggies even if I need a smaller cookie sheets for airflow.

I use the half sheet pans in my home ovens. They are more practical in the limited space of a residential kitchen. They are easier to store. You can also fit a half sheet in a residential refrigerator, too. I also have a few quarter sheet pans. I save the full sheet trays for commercial kitchen use.

I use the quarter sheet pans in my toaster oven. They work really well there.

The full size commercial sheet pans fit the vertical compartment of the kitchen cabinets in this old farm house. They basically run floor to counter top height and are a few inches wide. I'm not sure what the old lady that remodeled the kitchen had in mind but, they are way too tall and narrow for anything other than really big sheet or pizza pans.

Does anyone have more information on this? BlueStar is a good option, but I would love to know what other possibilities there might be.

Thanks!

Dacor makes a 30” oven that holds a full size sheet pan as does “American Range”
