Home Gas Oven
Generic
A domestic gas cooker or range, common across the UK, Italy, the US and Latin America. It behaves differently from an electric oven in two ways that change how you bake. Heat comes from a burner below, so the base runs ahead of the top and colour on the crown has to come from convection. Burning gas also releases water, so the chamber stays more humid, which suits an open crumb and works against a crisp finish. Use the top grill for the last minute if the top is still pale.
Specifications
