ALL YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BREAD OVENS
Everyday, I receive calls, direct messages, emails about ovens and challenges bread bakers are having. I can tell you it's a terrible one. Unfortunately, most people are starting their bakery the wrong way. They just think any oven can bake bread. Truth is NO.
Also, lots of ovens are bundled in their faces as galvanized when it's actually not galvanized. And they buy, because they don't understand much about oven education.
Let me say this: Part of why your bread business is having challenges is your using wrong Oven. Let me give you details about ovens and what you need to understand and know why your bread is not coming out well, why your bread is collapsing, why your bread don't bake well, why your bread is not patronized.
1. CHARCOAL AND FIREWOOD OVEN:
Charcoal and Firewood oven is good on it's own. But governments are phasing them out. It has health effects. It's not mobile.
A client in ENUGU bought a Charcoal and Firewood Powered Oven. When I went to his bakery for one on one bread baking training to train and revamp the bakery, I was taken aback as the walls of a beautiful building is already almost gone with cracks from firewood and charcoal. Some state governments have started banning use of charcoal or firewood. Aside the health effect, you will find it very much difficult in getting firewood all the time and it's expensive.
There is a bakery I know in Ekpoma, Edo State that's finding it difficult because they have the mud oven and transiting to modern oven is difficult because the mud oven was constructed on the floor of a four bedroom and removing it will require a whole lot. Bakery is not operated this way again. Don't buy and install ovens on the floor when you should be having ovens with moveable legs.
2. DECK OVEN: So I was in Warri for a one on One private Class. I had advised the woman on what type of Deck as she prefers deck electric powered oven. You don't buy what you don't have knowledge about. Two chamber deck oven, four trays just bought in few days and and the upper deck chamber is not working. She was also she not given baking trays. When you buy deck oven, it must be accompanied with trays. There are different types of Deck ovens. British Deck ovens will always need much electricity voltage to power the element. And this will consume your electricity or require a big generator.
Deck Oven
Unfortunately, what many do not understand is that deck oven will require gas powered cylinder and electricity at the same time. When you want to use deck oven to bake, you are consuming both electricity and gas from cylinder at the same time.
The electricity supply is for sparking or the element and this happens intermittently as the baking is going on. And at the same time, the gas form the cylinder brings the flame that bakes or heat the bread.
Deck oven is expensive and it will eat into your baking cost.
THIS IS ONE REASON MANY BAKERIES ARE RUNNING AT HIGH COST and then they pack up.
Everyday, I sort this issue in my consultancy services.
In 2019, a UK returnee from Kumasi contacted me while still in the UK of her interest in setting up a bakery in Kumasi, Ghana. We agreed. When I got there, she brought a very big used UK mixer and I told her instantly she will spend a whole lot of electricity cost. We then settled for something smaller and she is doing her business successfully after her training. That bakery has grown as she bakes and supply neighboring villages.
In Festac town, Lagos, someone is using a deck Oven that consumes high level of electricity from Perkins generator. The business is struggling, with loss of resources and financial losses. This is because they are using equipments that brings high cost of production while Ingredients are skyrocketing daily.

3. HOW TO MAKE SUCCESS WITH FABRICATED GALVANIZED PADDED OVEN IN YOUR BAKERY:
Galvanized and Padded Oven is the solution to most baking issues today. All you need is a space to have it and start your baking successfully. Not all ovens you see are galvanized. So read on.
Not all fabricated or locally constructed ovens are good. And not all ovens are for bread. This is where many people have failed. But Fabricated galvanized padded ovens are your saviour from bills and electricity consumption as well as saving cost of production. See the type of oven you should use for bread baking.

| GALVANIZED PADDED OVEN |
3a: YOUR OVEN MUST BE EASY TO OPERATE OR USE. These ovens you see being wrongly constructed everywhere and being sold cheaply can bake cake, not bread. Most of these wrong ovens around are not well scientifically and technically constructed and you see most of them in Nigeria.
Wrong oven will emit gas and result in fire. I have been a victim. I was having a private one on one training for a bakery I was teaching and opening for a client in Ikotun Egbe, Lagos and they bought the wrong oven. It was constructed to imitate deck oven, but gas Powered. Gas was leaking all over as you open the regulator. DON'T BUY THE WRONG OVEN. One quality of wrong oven is that it's cheap and people will always go for it to cut cost. Invest in a durable and quality oven.
3b: One door Oven must be opened from right to left and not left to right. This is One mistake most oven makers in Nigeria has been making. Most bread bakers, 99% are right handed. So your oven must be opened from right to left and right hand use in adding bread to the oven and removing it also.
3c: EASY TO REGULATE: Fabricated ovens must be easy to regulate. Look at this oven being constructed and you see the point where the regulator will be placed. It should not be complicated.
It takes one second to bring down or bring up the heat level as your bread bakes. The gas burner also should have easy access and very simple to heat the oven up.
3d: GAS ECONOMY: Fabricated oven must not use too much gas. It should have gas economy. You need to save cost in Production. Our oven brings only blue flame. Yellow flame does not bake but consumes gas. Use just little amount.of gas to bake tour bread instead of buying expensive firewood, charcoal or spending on electricity or spending much on gas.
3e: GAS OVEN MUST HAVE HEAT CIRCULATION: Some of these local ovens are cheap because of materials and it does not bake bread well. A good oven must have even heat circulation. That's what a good fabricated oven must have. I have gone to places to train where their oven brings out heat in the room instead of retailing the heat inside the oven.

3f: GALVANIZED MATERIAL MUST BE USED: Most.of these cheap ovens being sold everywhere do not use galvanized materials, and are sparingly padded. Hit your hand on most of these oven you see everywhere, you here sound like Kpom Kpom.. They are not meant for bread baking but for cake and pastries. They are cheap and cheaply made from containerized materials. Don't buy them for bread .
Galvanized oven uses expensive galvanized materials and they are durable. I have ovens I have been using for 13 yeast now and still intact, solid and doing its job. They are galvanized. My clients are using ovens I have sold to them for years till date. From Lagos, Ibeju Lekki, Ayobo, Ojodu, Ikorodu, Port Harcourt, Abuja, Asaba, Kokori, Warri etc Nigeria, to Accra, Kumasi, Wenchi, Takoradi, Tema, Kasoa etc in Ghana and a whole lot of bakeries uses our Ovens.
3g: OVEN MUST BE PADDED: You see most of your bread falls or collapse after baking because of small or non padded oven you bought. Unfortunately, you paid cheaply for it and that's what you are getting. Bread baking require some.level of heat and must be heavily padded. However, not.manymofnthe oven makers will understand the science of padding. Also, they are not bread bakers or users of the oven. We baker bread, we train and we sell oven at Bakers At Work.
We know how bread is baked, we know what happens inside the oven and know that bread is baked from hard flour while pastries are made form soft flour. These are what most of these oven makers do not know because they are not users.
3.h. DURABLE AND RELIABLE: Our fabricated Ovens are very durable with superior materials that stand test of time. Fully glass faces of 16mm and strong. Bakes bread that lasts.
