We run deck ovens and have for 50 years. I love deck ovens. But, I love conveyor ovens as well. I love the idea. I even love a lot of product that comes out of them. While I do agree that a good amount of people like the fact that their product comes from a deck oven, I also think in the next...

I’d have to agree that any large television event brings in pizza sales. Doubtful to be compared to a huge football game, but when millions of people are tuning in to watch something on tv, chances are pretty good that they will pick up the phone for dinner… in theory.

You think? My Hobart manual says my dough (hydration, batch size) should be mixed at speed 1 only… maybe on other mixers speed 1 is different?

Sorry, I meant after the addition of oil at about 2 minutes

My batches look satiny after about 5 minutes of mixing. I honestly don’t visually see a difference between 5 minutes and 15 minutes of mixing… I run 50lb batches, all on speed 1. If the dough looks fine after 5 minutes, is it? I’m confused because I’ve read in a few of your articles and posts...

Can someone show me what the bottom of the AM manufacturing dough roller “barrel” is suppose to look like? Mine has always “jumped” when I load it with larger balls unless I run it without the plastic disc… Seems wrong and AM mentioned “tabs” being broken off or something… before paying...

I’m still curious about the ops question

A few articles show that it’s backfired for a lot of people apparently

I hate to be the one to start the quarterly grande debate, but 90 cents over market… we are talking hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for some of us. Not in this lifetime, holmes.

I’ve never tried a batch in our VCM… does it work well?

I’m at about 17-18 minutes for my recipe in speed 1, 50lb batch in a 60q hobart… I’d be curious to know as well if there are ill effects… Granted my recipe is probably different, 5 and 18 minutes is a huge gap.

Same original motor as far as I can tell! I replaced the conveyor belt motor but the roller motor is still holding strong!

Ok so after talking to AM about my problems, they say the screw and the drum are both worn. 3,570 to replace before tax and shipping… ouch. The machine is old, over 20 years, but I figured I’d share this info to anyone who might be looking at a used machine or something.

I pay 79 for hungerrush(revention). I’d never pay a percentage. 1k a month??? I complain enough about paying 79 per store for a few megabytes worth of tiny data being transferred.

Same… Last year wasn’t anywhere near as good. Interesting to see that it’s almost across the nation. I wonder why? Gotta love this business.

I know it’s kind of a crap response, but if speed doesn’t matter, why not hand roll? If i had a few guys rolling I could keep up with my machine. But that would cost more in labor of course. Our absorption is pretty low, but not crazy low, and I do agree that the quality of the balls are not as...

I use revention. It has bugs. We are just too big for their system i guess. The online ordering system is fine but doesn’t support additional fees for longer distance deliveries which is lame. I’m a programmer by hobby and it would take very little to implement this considering the physical...

It’s been an amazing week so far.

We have an old Scale-o-Matic. It’s real old but the rounder still works. Never used the divider because it needs parts. I have some issues with it… First problem is it almost always cuts off once ounce little balls which is a pain in the butt and super messy. Second is that it likes to...
