Hello Hai Lin,
We understand what you mean. No we have not found a fridge that will fit the trays. We only use the fridge for bulk fermentation in bowls that do fit in our fridge.

Greetings and hope you will find your ideal method!

Happy baking

Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience with the Rofco! I’ve just bought one myself (secondhand) in the hope of setting up a microbakery. I’m planning on using it for baking some enriched doughs/buns and pastries too and am hoping to build a little DIY proofing box using a fridge. I wondered if you’d found any domestic fridges that can fit Rofco trays? Or what do you do if you need to put any trays into a fridge? I think theyre just a little bit too deep! Thanks for your help!

In reply to Charlotte.

We have never had to move or transport a Rofco oven ourselves. Ours were always transported upright, that we know for sure. But do contact Rofco.be or the distributor you bought the oven from to get helpful information on how much tilt will still be OK.

Wishing you all the best on your trip! Be safe.

Hi there- lots of useful info here, thanks! I recently bought a Rofco B40 (!!) off a mentor, and now have to transport it ~900 miles home in my car. I am planning to secure it very well and I know it has to be upright (and will likely take out the racks). I’m wondering- can it be tilted slightly and momentarily? I will have to tilt it about 5 inches to get it into my car (trunk height is about 34 inches, oven height is 39″) where I can secure it totally upright where I’ve removed my seats. Do you think that’s ok or it must always remain totally upright? Thanks! Any other self-transport dos and don’ts welcome.

In reply to Muna. Met Dip 02 is alles er makkelijk af te krijgen. Wel goed naspelen. En de oven nadien opzetten gedurende verschillende uren om de zeepgeur eruit te halen. Grts Erwin

In reply to Weekend Bakers. Hi. Thank you for the info. I wonder when do you spray the oven, before the dough inserted or after. As you mentioned it should be sprayed to the wall, isn’t it difficult when the dough already inside? Thanks..

I recently purchased a rofco20 but my bakes can be varied. I preheat the oven as required at 230 and bake my proofed breads straight from the fridge which then affects the oven temp. I saw in one comment to preheat at highest temp, does that mean 300 and then reduce to required temp? Any advice would be welcomed.

Hello Nigel,
Yes, it is a 230 V appliance and you can change the Euro plug to a UK plus.

Good luck with it!

Hello,

Can you please tell me if you can use a standard UK plug for a Rofco B40?

Many Thanks

Hi – very helpful post! I just got my Rofco and bake a lot of specialty sourdough for my clients. Many contain garlic….cheese…..raisins….various inclusions. I’m worried about those inclusions leaking and soaking into the stones. Do you have any experience baking bread on the included steel trays that come with the Rofco? I’m thinking I’ll load the bread onto parchment and then onto the preheated steel trays, then steam. I have the baking sheets also but am concerned about the flavors soaking into those and ruining them as well. Just wondering how bread bakes on the metal trays or if you have any other advice?

Thanks so much for all these great tips!

In reply to Muna. Hello Muna, Can you tell us what the oven wall is made of? Our walls (of our household oven) are made of or coated with enamel. What works best for us is first to soak the stain with a wet towel or maybe wet paper that sticks. Then take a sharp new double edged razor blade and scrape off the stain, holding the blade as flat as possible to the surface. Carefully try a very small piece first to make sure you do no damage. The enamel is glass-like and hard so it should be OK, provided your oven also has this material on the back wall.

Hello,
Thanks for the awesome post! really helpful ^_^ I have a quick question regarding the inside walls of the oven. I accidentally put the dough too close to the wall, after I finished baking it I noticed a brown stain on the back wall. I tried to wipe it down with a wet towel but it doesn’t seem to want to go away. Any tips?

Thanks ^_^

I have been planning to buy an oven since my current is not functioning well. I’m glad you shared this tip; I’ll make sure to wipe off the brown spots with a paper towel whilst the oven is still hot. I’d also keep in mind to clean my oven in between bakes.
