Hi, everyone. I have been baking bread on and off, with great amounts of help from this amazing site, for about 5 years now. The number one challenge I have encountered is my oven, with its uneven heating, venting issues, ineffective door gasket, etc. I am finally about to start researching a newer model to be purchased in the near future, and I would really appreciate some guidance on this subject, along with your personal experiences, if any of you would be so kind as to weigh in.
The biggest hurtles in this endeavor to me are the fact that our home cannot accommodate a wall oven, and although I would much prefer an electric model with an induction cook top, the transition from gas to electric would be so difficult and costly that it's not realistic. This leaves me limited to a standard gas cooktop/oven combo unit.
Any advice on best brand(s), model(s), pros and cons, and anything else that might be helpful will be gratefully received. Thanks in advance for reading. Lisa :D
How about a dedicated bread oven like a rofco? http://www.rofco.be/ovens_EN.html They've been discussed on this site for some time. I've thought about getting one but haven't yet. These comments from this site: http://www.thefreshloaf.com/search/node/rofco . Good luck!
