Burned 40 sheet pans at a brunch service last Sunday

Forgot to rotate my pans in the deck oven during a 200-cover brunch rush. Had to scrub carbon off every single one with steel wool for an hour after service.

You'd think after the first 10 you would have caught on, right? But I know how it goes - once you're in the weeds, it's all just survival mode. @charlie_fisher45 brings up a solid point though, how many backups were actually prepped? Because even with perfect rotation, if your mise is running thin, those pans are just sitting there soaking up heat way too long. What temp were you running the deck at - the typical 375 or did you try to crank it for speed?

400 covers on a single deck oven... how many backups did you have that day?
