As I mentioned in an earlier post, While in the hospital bored to tears, I bought an Anova steam oven. I have not tried bread yet but Zucchi bread is on the agenda for today or tomorrow.

Will be waiting to see your thoughts. I have a Breville smart oven it has quite a few years on it and the convection fan is making noises. I was thinking of the Anova for a possible replacement.

I would be interested to see how that ANOVA would do with bread.

I believe I'm going to leave it in the garage for now until I figure out a more permanent place. I can have a 220 installed next to the electrical panel so it should be easy. They are supposed to do it this week. We will see.

Bentley, it is a sealed unit but no built in steam production. They sell heavy duty narrow trays that are supposed to work well. I'm going to experiment some when I'm up and running. Most people seem to use one of those commercial pressure sprayers and just give it a good once over before closing the door for the first 20 minutes.

I'm looking forward to giving pizza a go. It's supposed to get to 570+ which should be perfect for my style pizza.


Looked over the specs. Nice oven.
Requires 240v/20a which would be OK for me as I had an outlet put in kitchen when it was remodeled.
Looks like a nice cart and you need it with it weighing 274lbs.

I found this interesting:
"The oven comes with stand, steam trays and baking trays if required"

So do you just tell them they are required and they "give" them to you ?

Couldn't find price, guess you have to call to get that.

Anxious to see how it works for you.

The stand is 675. Not sure how much the steam trays are. Rofcos are about 70 a piece so I bet they are close to that. The oven was 3400 plus 400 shipping or so.

Wow, pretty price add-ons.
Did you get the stand or do you have one ?
Not something you want to carry around...

I didn't get the stand. I will probably just get a stainless steel table to put it on for now. I went to the restaurant supply store I buy alot of stuff from last weekend .  They usually have all kinds of tables for decent prices. They had nothing because of supply chain issues.

 The original plan was to turn a room in the house into sort of a butlers pantry which would have had a spot for the oven, but we are considering moving so I'm holding off on blowing up that room that nearly no one would want for that purpose.

Oh yeah, I remember you talking about the Butler Pantry idea.
Are housing prices crazy by you like here.
All prices paid are above asking price. My Real Estate friend told me she had one house that had 22 offers on it.
I'd like to sell mine, but have no place to go.

Prices are inflated all around, but the market has cooled some. If it's a nice house in a desirable area it usually sells quickly at asking price. We don't typically have the 20 offer stuff. Maybe 2 or 3 people interested at once.

We currently live in a villa now in the suburbs where yard, landscape, snow etc are taken care of. They don't usually move as fast because it's an older crowd and the fees for the maintenance. They are still in demand though and getting top dollar.

Our downtown area is hot and there is a historical district within walking distance of all the new downtown stuff. We are thinking of buying an old home in that district. Most were built late 1800s to early 1900s. The first house we bought when we got married was built in 1920 and we've always missed it.

We've built 5 houses and are done with that so this is attractive to us at the moment.

Fired it up for the first time a couple nights ago. Will bake bread for the first time tomorrow. Super impressed with heat retention. It should operate similarly to a real brick oven with the sort of temps I'm seeing.

I heated to 475 and turned the unit off. A couple hours later the stones were still over 400. Several hours later they were at around 350. The next morning they were still around 150. I wasn't expecting even close to that retention.

4 elements total. One below and above each stone, and they each can be controlled independently.

First batch this afternoon. Pretty happy considering it's a new oven. I will make some adjustments next time, but certainly is promising.
