Do any of you have experience with one of these? I’m looking at the 21” and 30” models.
I have been looking at ovens for a while and was pretty set on a paragon until I saw a few videos of the Jenken. It seems like a well thought out design and I like the idea of being able to hang blades, but I don’t know if that is actually any kind of plus in application. The fact its on the ground is something I like. A table top oven would take up precious work bench space and my back doesn’t take kindly to lifting things on and off the bench all the time.
the controller is the other thing I’m having issues with making decisions and this applies across the board for any oven I’ve looked at. The touchscreens seem like a luxury especially considering the cost. The 3 key looks useable enough and considering all I really have interest in is simple carbon steel and possibly the occasional aeb-l. The 12 key controllers don’t seem worth the money compared to what you get over the 3 key. Again this is only my opinion as gleaned from what I’ve read about controllers and their usability, longevity and useful functions. Seems like if I decided to upgrade from the 3 key I would probably just bite the bullet and go with the touch screen.
A solid state relay seems like a no brainer given the lack of maintenance and the improved temp holding ability.
If there’s anything I didn’t think of any input is appreciated.
