Question
Hello,
I read recently that you like the brand Vulcan but I wanted to know if Montague was any good. I'm trying to buy a used oven....they are both double convection ovens and I will be needing it mostly for baking.
They both cost the same but I wanted to know from an experts view.
Thanks.

Answer
Hi Evelyn:

In most cases, commercial ovens are pretty much even up.

If the oven you like meets your needs, and it has been in use and works, you will most likely be fine!

I have baked on many different brands.

No matter what, you have to get used to your oven in terms of temperature, hot spots, and ease of use.

Whatever you buy, you will make it work.

Happy baking!
