Answer :
Final answer:
An oven where loaves are baked directly on the floor is known as both a deck and a hearth oven, so the answer is d) Both A and B. Latent heat is transferred into the air by convection, making the correct choice B. Convection.
Explanation:
An oven in which loaves are baked directly on the floor of the oven is known as either a deck oven or a hearth oven. Therefore, the correct answer to the provided question is d) Both A and B. A deck oven is a type of oven with one or more separate baking chambers allowing for a variety of baking options, which often includes baking loaves directly on the oven floor. A hearth oven is a traditional and typically stone-lined oven where bread is also baked on the floor directly, mirroring the essence of an old-fashioned hearth.
Latent heat is transferred into the air by convection. This process involves the movement of heat through fluids (liquids and gases) caused by the circulation of currents from one region to another. It is a method of heat transfer that is particularly important for baking, where the hot air times around the oven, evenly baking the loaves. Therefore, the correct answer to the second question is B. Convection.
