An oven for cooking a food product, the oven comprising: an oven chamber in which food is cooked; a heating element (60, 62) operable to generate heat to be provided to the oven chamber; a conveyor which extends through the oven chamber and is configured to transport the food product through the oven chamber; a fan (72, 74) operable to move air in the oven chamber; at least one input device remotely positioned from the oven by which information indicating food product to be cooked is transmitted; one or more sensors (79, 80, 81, 82) positioned to detect at least one of a temperature in the oven chamber and when the food product exits the oven chamber; at least one controller that controls at least one of the fan and the heating element (60, 62),) and is configured to receive signals from the one or more sensors (79, 80, 81, 82) indicating when the food product exits the oven chamber 24, wherein the controller changes the operation of the fan (72, 74) to a standby state after passage of a predetermined period of time since the food product was detected exiting the oven chamber based on signals received from the one or more sensors (79, 80, 81, 82), in which the fan moves air in the oven chamber in the standby state at a reduced speed from a cooking mode, wherein the output of the heating element (60, 62) is adjusted in response to a change in temperature of the oven chamber to maintain the oven chamber substantially at a temperature in the standby state of the fan (72, 74), and changes operation of the fan (72, 74) from the standby state to a cooking mode in response to information transmitted from the input device indicating the food product to be cooked prior to the product being placed on the conveyor (22. an oven chamber in which food is cooked; a heating element (60, 62) operable to generate heat to be provided to the oven chamber; a conveyor which extends through the oven chamber and is configured to transport the food product through the oven chamber; a fan (72, 74) operable to move air in the oven chamber; at least one input device remotely positioned from the oven by which information indicating food product to be cooked is transmitted; one or more sensors (79, 80, 81, 82) positioned to detect at least one of a temperature in the oven chamber and when the food product exits the oven chamber; at least one controller that controls at least one of the fan and the heating element (60, 62),) and is configured to receive signals from the one or more sensors (79, 80, 81, 82) indicating when the food product exits the oven chamber 24, wherein the controller changes the operation of the fan (72, 74) to a standby state after passage of a predetermined period of time since the food product was detected exiting the oven chamber based on signals received from the one or more sensors (79, 80, 81, 82), in which the fan moves air in the oven chamber in the standby state at a reduced speed from a cooking mode, wherein the output of the heating element (60, 62) is adjusted in response to a change in temperature of the oven chamber to maintain the oven chamber substantially at a temperature in the standby state of the fan (72, 74), and changes operation of the fan (72, 74) from the standby state to a cooking mode in response to information transmitted from the input device indicating the food product to be cooked prior to the product being placed on the conveyor (22.
