Types of Southbend Ovens

Southbend makes Convection ovens. They are categorized into two types. They are:

Gas Convection Oven

In a Southbend gas convection oven, the air is heated by the burning of gas and is sent into the chamber. It is sent into the chamber by the use of a fan. Then this hot air surrounds the food and helps in heating it evenly all over. As this is a heat transfer that includes hot air which is fluid to heat food, it is called convective heat transfer, and this kind of oven is called a gas convection oven.

Electric Convection Oven

In a Southbend electric convection oven, the air is heated by the electric coils and is sent into the oven chamber. Same as in the gas convection oven a fan makes this heated air enter the chamber. Then this hot air is surrounded by the food that is placed in the chamber and heats it resulting in even cooking. This hot air is usually passed out through the exhaust vent. As the source of heat is electricity, we call it an electric convection oven.

The ovens are not only convectional but are conventional too!

It means they are using the same process which is being used since ancient times in all civilizations. Though the sources of power which are gas and electricity are modern, the process of using convection to cook food is ancient.

If you wonder what is another way of cooking food, it is by conduction which happens on a stove or a Southbend ranger. There, we place food on a pan or a stove and heat it from under and as the heat transfer is between solids which are pan and food, it is called a conductive heat transfer.
