>What's a "Hobart"?

A type of commercial mixer.  Like calling a camera a "Kodak", except that
still nowadays, most commercial mixers found are hobarts...  I worked with
one that must have been older than I am, and certainly was bigger 'n
me.  Apprentice of mine made the mistake of pouring an entire sack of flour
(40#) in there in one shot, then turn the speed on high right
away!  Ha!  the mess!

Well, convexion oven moves the air around, which is why it's faster.  There
are commercial ovens that also have convexion, and those will *cook*.  Some
commercial ovens are old, crappy and unmaintained, hence don't cook
well.  <shrug>
