Rofco B10 vs Pico Plus
This Rofco B10 vs Pico Plus comparison looks at two compact stone-deck ovens aimed at serious bread baking in smaller spaces. Both suit artisan-style production, but they differ in batch size, power requirements, steam setup and how much control you get over the bake.
For most buyers, the key questions are simple: how much bread you need to bake per run, whether you need a 10AMP or 15AMP setup, and how important built-in steam and independent heat control are in day-to-day use. This guide keeps the comparison practical so you can narrow down which oven fits your bakery, kitchen and production plans.

The Bottom Line
In practical terms, the Rofco B10 and Pico Plus serve different stages of production. The Rofco B10 keeps things compact, simple and 10AMP-friendly, while the Pico Plus gives you a larger single deck, built-in steam and more control, but with a 15AMP requirement. The right choice comes down to your available power, target batch size and whether you need a more scalable small commercial oven for baking.
Rofco B10
The Rofco B10 suits serious home bakers and small-scale operators who want stone-deck baking in a compact format with 10AMP single phase power.
Pico Plus
The Pico Plus suits micro bakeries and growing small commercial setups that need higher batch capacity, built-in steam and a stackable deck oven format.
FAQs
Is the Rofco B10 or Pico Plus easier to install in a standard setup?
The Rofco B10 is the simpler fit where only 10AMP single phase power is available. The Pico Plus needs 15AMP single phase power, so installation depends more on your existing electrical setup.
Which oven gives more output per bake?
Based on the listed capacities, the Pico Plus gives more output per bake at six 1000g loaves, while the Rofco B10 is rated for four 850g loaves.
Do both ovens use stone baking surfaces?
Yes. The Rofco B10 has double stone surfaces, and the Pico Plus has a single stone surface.
Is built-in steam available on both models?
No. The Pico Plus includes a built-in steam introduction system, while the Rofco B10 lists a single steam vent.
Which one is better suited to a growing micro bakery?
The Pico Plus is the model positioned more clearly for growth because it is stackable and aimed at micro bakeries and small commercial kitchens.
Are these ovens suitable for artisan bread baking?
Yes. Both are presented as stone-deck style ovens designed around the steady radiant heat needed for artisan bread baking.
