What Oven Does Cinnabon Use?

Rich Komen and his son, Greg, developed the Cinnabon® concept in 1985 with help from baker Jerilyn Brusseau, who spent months refining their signature cinnamon roll recipe. Once the recipe was finalized, the first Cinnabon bakery opened in Seattle, Wash. To prepare its signature cinnamon rolls, Cinnabon uses Lang convection ovens.

Lang is a leading manufacturer of commercial cooking equipment, including convection ovens, griddles and clamshells, charbroilers, and more. The ovens are recognized for their even heating, energy efficiency, and longevity. Their airflow supports consistent baking results.

How Lang Convection Ovens Work

Lang convection ovens use a built-in fan and an exhaust system to circulate hot air continuously around food. This circulation promotes efficient heat transfer and more even browning compared with a standard oven. Some models feature a third heating element that sits directly behind the fan to heat the air before it circulates.

Even airflow helps minimize hot and cold spots, which can reduce the need to rotate pans and support consistent results across multiple racks. This makes Lang convection ovens well suited for high-volume baking and roasting.
