How is hearth-oven baking or cooking different from using a regular modern electric or gas oven?
A modern oven utilizes only ambient and minimal radiant heat. When baking in a hearth oven, three principles are at work: conductive, radiant, and ambient. When designed properly, these three heat types work together to form a hearth environment. This creates a highly stable environment allowing for greater control and a more evenly cooked product.
