You can bake artisan breads using a stone in electric ovens. Not all
electric ovens are alike, however. I have had a few that really were
shoddy. The last one I had baked everything really unevenly and most of my
breads turned out pale and rather horrid looking.
My new electric oven (Maytag Dual Bake System with hidden bottom coil) is
amazing. It cost me an arm and a leg, but I love that oven. I put the stone
right on the "floor" (the bottom coil is hidden beneath a removable floor)
for optimal heating.
