Hi everyone.
I'm thinking of buying a used Modulux oven by Picard (capacity 4 baking pans) that was purchased 4 years ago and used in a small bakery. The used oven would cost around 3,000 (CAD). The owners have dissembled the oven for storage so I cannot test it out. I have used this kind of deck oven before and though I was satisfied with the results, the quality and durability doesn't compare to more high-end european ovens. Also, the baking stones on the used model are cracked and i'm not sure how this will effect their capacity to retain heat.
I will be baking artisan bread, pizzas and viennoiseries. The previous owners didn't use the steam injection as they were making mostly pastries.
I was wondering if anyone here has experience using the Modulux oven. Any comment would be appreciated.
My other options are the LCB electric deck oven (which I have never used but have gotten negative feedback on) or a Eurofour deck oven. I'm looking for a modular deck oven (single phase) that is reasonably priced.
Thanks!
... should be fine, as long as it is physically stable to work with when it's in place in the oven - that is, not falling down, pieces not breaking off, not tilting to one side, and so on. The way it heats won't be changed.
