he has several M.Stars.   if you get the chance to see this series , or he previous series , give them a look-see.

 

Ive learned a lot from them all.

 

Id like to know what ovens he uses in the back kitchen , which is his ' experimental ' kitchen :

 

 

they are two , stacked.  these pics give you an idea of their size.  Im guessing , but am not sure , that they are not Cobi ovens

 

any ideas ?

Kerridge is such a nice bloke that I bet if you emailed The Coach or The Hand and Flowers he'd get back to you

This is an interesting oven. I had to do a GGLE search to find the dimensions. They are reported to be 22 inches (H) x 31 inches (W) x 21.5 inches (D) and the interior dimensions measure 16.5 inches (H) x 21.5 inches (W) x 15.25 inches (D). 1/2 sheet pans should fit with enough room to allow good airflow.

 

I'm starting to look for a replacement for my decade+ years old Breville, and ovens with this general configuration have piqued my interest. I wonder, though, if it might be overkill for home use.

The general term for that sort of oven is a 'half-size' oven.  They're available from all sorts of suppliers, with various numbers of shelves from just two or three up to 10 or 12.  The smaller 3 or 4 shelf ones are often stacked as a pair.  All the ones I've seen have been convection ovens -- and a non-convection one would not work well, because there's very little room around a half sheet pan for natural circulation.  They're very common in small places, either for small batch baking or reheating (or finishiing) for service. 

 

 

There are also combi (+steam) versions, but I have no experience.

Does this type of oven come in 1/4 pan size?

yes, but they're not as common, and I'm sure the selection is limited.  The only one I dan think of seeing was in a coffee shop that was using it to heat up pastries.

Yeah, I've not seen any 1/4 pan ovens, although I may have seen two or three that had propritary-sized trays sized between 1/4 and 1/2 ... might be confusing this with another similarly-designed oven, though.

 

I just found this 1/4-sized oven: (eG-friendly Amazon.com link)

Webstaurantstore lists a few, including a cadco.    The bigger countertop cadco ovens are well regarded.

@dscheidt ... thanks for the webrestaurantstore link. I found the price spread between lower-priced and higher-priced ovens pretty remarkable. I was surprised to find some below $300.00. What may account for such a spread?  I'd be hesitant to purchase a lower-priced model. 

 

You seem fairly knowledgeable about these ovens. Do you have some background with them?

Don’t know anything about the oven I’m afraid but Tom Kerridge is great. I’ve got several of his books and everything I’ve ever done from them turns out well - Ottolenghi and Vivien Howard are the only other two that come to mind for almost guaranteed success for me. 
 

We got my mum and dad a lunch at the hand and flowers for a present last year and t hey absolutely loved it. Can’t believe I’ve not managed to get there myself.
