  • About

Revolving ovens, also called reel ovens, are large chambers containing many shelves or trays on an attachment like a Ferris wheel. This oven eliminates the problem of hot spots, or uneven baking, because the mechanism rotates the foods throughout the oven.

Revolving ovens are used in bakeshops and in high-volume operations.
