I worked in a fab-shop that had a walking (not walk in) oven that heated up 5/8” steel blanks for a 250 ton press that formed tank heads for LNG railroad tankcars. You couldn’t get close to it much less in it. Last I heard that factory was moved out the country.
These are commercial ovens used for mass production of many
various items sold to the public. How do you think the pies
cookies, etc. get produced in large numbers.
walk in ovens are so retro
Tru dat,
thanks
I don’t know. They bake pizzas on conveyor belt ovens now.
I remember cooking pizzas in a four tier Blodgett oven and taking them out with a pizza paddle.
Possibly true
But it’s a dry heat.
those are factory ovens
the store ovens are small. Usually the size of a full sized 10 to 12 shelf rolling baking rack.
Look to the Sikhs sworn enemies. It's one of them without a single doubt.
I cannot believe that I have been the only Freepersto say something about the a murderer of a young woman.
Expect an Indian - Sikh war to breakout in Canada at any time
bttt
Dunno, but that’s one hot chick.
Too soon?
those are factory ovens

Yep. I believe I specified that. Maybe not.

I could see a Gingerbread Man walking in, but pies and cookies?
“I’m Earl Scheib, and I’ll paint any car, any color for $29.95” ,,,, he might have cooked a customer or two ...
In case any of you guys ever wondered about this event:
The tragic case of the 19-year-old woman found dead in a walk-in oven at a Walmart in Halifax, Nova Scotia, has reached its conclusion—though not without lingering questions.
👩🍳 Victim Identified The young woman was Gursimran Kaur, a Walmart employee and member of the local Sikh community. She and her mother had worked at the store together for two years. On the evening of October 19, 2024, her mother became concerned after not seeing her for over an hour. She eventually discovered Kaur’s body inside the bakery’s industrial oven.
🚨 Investigation Findings Halifax Regional Police conducted a thorough investigation, including interviews, video reviews, and collaboration with the Nova Scotia Department of Labor and the medical examiner. They concluded that no foul play was involved and that no one else was responsible for her death. The oven was part of a commercial bakery setup, and while the exact circumstances remain unclear, police stated the case was not suspicious2.
📞 911 Audio Details Emergency dispatch audio revealed that Kaur had been locked inside the oven, which was still on when responders arrived. They shut off the power and removed her from the oven upon arrival.
🏪 Aftermath The Walmart store was temporarily closed, and the bakery equipment—including the oven—was removed as part of a broader remodel. A stop-work order was issued and later lifted by the Department of Labor.
💔 Community Response The Maritime Sikh Society launched a fundraiser to support Kaur’s family and help bring her father and younger brother from India to Canada. Her death deeply affected the local community, and police urged the public to avoid speculation out of respect for the grieving family2.
It’s one of those cases where the official conclusion—no foul play—doesn’t quite satisfy the emotional and forensic curiosity it stirs.
There you go, there is the motive, mom killed her so she could bring the husband and son over to Canada.
Used to work for a company that had several walk-in oven for drying, heat treating and painting metal.
I was the Calibration Tech that monitored their accuracy...............
The oven emitted a Sikhening smell.
