An oven apparatus (1) comprises a belt (2) for conveying product to be baked, particularly Chinese pancakes, the belt formed of fibre-glass and driven through a baking area. The belt (2) may be formed of belt sections joined together and may have a non-stick coating of silicon rubber. Steel conduction plates (13) may heat the belt and be in direct contact with the bottom of the belt. The conduction plates may be 5-25 mm thick and are preferably 10 mm thick. A floating roller (11), free to rotate with the belt and move up and down, may be upstream to keep the pastry entering the oven flat. The oven may be heated to 280-350°C and the belt (2) may run at 10-20 m/minute. Also disclosed is (i) an oven comprising a driven belt where one or more conduction plates are provided directly below the belt; and (ii) an oven comprising a driven belt comprising a floating roller upstream of the baking area. |
