Method of baking and an oven

A baker's oven including:

• an oven chamber;
• support means for supporting one or more baking trays, including a rotatable turntable, the position of the baking tray defining a rectangle centered on an axis of rotation of the rotatable turntable and the rotatable turntable having an active region boundary that is defined as being between a circle defined by rotation of an outer most corner of the rectangle and a circle defined by rotation of the nearest approach of an edge of the rectangle to the axis;
• heating means arranged to underlie the baking trays to provide a substantial proportion of the heat to the baking trays than to other portions of the oven, the heating means including a plurality of heating elements extending from a wall of the oven into the active region, each element having an inactive portion and an active portion, the inactive portion extending from the wall to the active portion which extends in the active region for more directly heating an underside of the baking trays;
• a temperature sensor for providing a signal indicative of oven temperature;
• an interface adapted to receive information from a baker indicative of a bake program and information corresponding to products being loaded into the oven;
• and
• control means operatively connected to the heating means, the temperature sensor and the interface to receive signals corresponding to oven variables comprising the oven temperature and a fixed baking time indicative of the product;
• the control means being adapted to deactivate the heating means after a first predetermined portion of the fixed baking time has elapsed in response to the oven temperature reaching a trip temperature.
