You set the temperature, the thermostat clicks off, but the heat keeps climbing. By the time the oven actually cools down, you&rsquo;ve overshot your target by 10 degrees. It&rsquo;s frustrating, and in a professional setup, it&rsquo;s a disaster. That happens because of thermal mass. Basically, heavy metal heating elements act like giant sponges for heat. They soak it up, hold onto it, and then leak it out long after you&rsquo;ve told them to stop. We decided to stop fighting that battle and just change the hardware. We switched to frosted quartz infrared heaters. These things have almost zero thermal mass. They don&rsquo;t &ldquo;store&rdquo; heat; they just move it. The second you cut the power, the heat stops. Just like that.</p>
