Ovens

Sunday was a very hot day, in the high 80s.  I needed cooling off.  I walked down the block to Happiness bakery for a red rice and oat smoothie.  I asked them to make it extra icey.

While I was waiting for them to whip that up, I took a long look at their small bakery area.  I noticed a proofing box.  Their oven was three-tiered, with digital controls.  One of the floor staff asked if I wanted help.  I asked her if the oven had a water mister.  She said of course not.  But a gentleman not wearing whites, but black trousers and a white shirt, heard the question and gave a different answer.  He was inside the kitchen near the oven.  He pointed to something on the digital control panel and said yes, it could mist water.  I noticed the brand name.

I found it through Alibaba.com.  The description did not specifically say it offered that feature, so I have to try to initiate a chat at their web site with one of the sales reps.

Monday evening I rode my bike to Tesco to pick up some groceries.  On the way I found that the new restaurant equipment store was receiving a shipment.  The door was open, workers were hauling stuff in, but the lights were not on.  I went in anyway.  I spoke to a man sitting at a desk, supervising the delivery people.  I gave him the manufacturer's name and location, and the oven model name and number.  Fireking out of Shenzhen, and SunStar ovens model HDQ-40, as best I could recall.  He said he'd give them a call and get back to me.  I left him my phone number.

In the end, that oven proved to be very, very expensive.  Instead, Daniel found another online.  It only cost 7,800 rmb (a little over $1,000), it has the steam feature and is two decks.  The brand is JUSTA, Lancaster model.
