Types and features of ovens

Depending on the location, ovens are:

• Recessed.

• Gas.
• Electric.

Features of gas models:

1. Gas ovens are a familiar option for those consumers who have previously used such a stove.
2. In gas models, burner nozzles are integrated into the bottom of the oven, therefore heating occurs from below.
3. Some models have a top gas heating element.
4. Heating in the upper part is achieved either with an electric heating element, or gas burners are used.

Important! In models with an upper heating element, uniform heating of the working chamber does not occur. And although manufacturers still produce gas ovens, but still, more attention is paid to their electric "brothers."

Electric ovens have a number of important characteristics:

1. The heating of the working chamber occurs evenly - thanks to the fan on the rear wall.
2. High level of security.
3. Multifunctionality - for cooking, free-standing electric ovens have 12 standard modes.

Electric ovens

If you purchase a freestanding electric oven, you can cook all the same dishes as in a gas oven and plus a lot of different goodies, since the heating temperature in such cabinets occurs both from below and above, and sometimes from the back wall , and side panels of the unit.

Device Features:

1. The lower heating element is located under the bottom, and a convection fan located on the rear wall blows the cooked dishes. As a result, they are well baked and browned. In front of the convection fan, a ring fan is usually built in, thanks to which the working chamber is uniformly heated.
2. One of the motivating factors for the acquisition of an electric oven is the grill function. In chambers equipped with a grill, operating from a separately mounted engine, you can instantly prepare delicious hot sandwiches, as well as provide a golden crust at the end of the preparation of ham, ribs and other dishes.
3. When frying fish or a whole carcass of a bird, a skewer is used, rotating from an autonomous motor. All flowing greasy liquid is collected in a special tray, which is included in the package of the unit. Intensive heating promotes the formation of a fragrant, appetizing, crispy crust, and inside the dish the meat becomes soft and with a wonderful taste.
4. If you are a fan of meat with a smoke, then use a skewer with skewers, the rotation of which is provided by the built-in miniature engine. Such a device is convenient to use in any weather and anywhere. In the country, you don’t even need to light a fire to cook meat on charcoal. In addition, all the processes in modern free-standing electric ovens are programmed, and your presence during cooking is not required. This is very convenient, especially for very busy people, for example, young mothers.
5. According to the degree of mobility, ovens can be as stand-alone, that is, independent of a niche - not built-in, and static - built into the headset. A non-built-in wardrobe is suitable for people who are used to frequently changing the arrangement of furniture and like to rearrange household appliances to bring something new to the perception of the surrounding space. The oven can be hidden in a floor cabinet or mounted on a stable open shelf, or it can be placed on a bar counter and visually distinguish between functional areas.
6. An independent electric oven can additionally defrost food or replace a double boiler to provide a diet for households.

Management principle

Ovens freestanding electric control method are divided into:

• Standalone.
• Addicted.

What are the pros and cons of each of them? - It's pretty simple:

1. Dependent models only work complete with a hob and have one button: on and off. Oven control in such models is carried out from the hob, and if it breaks, then you cannot use the oven.
2. Autonomous ovens are completely independent, carry out work independently. The control panel is located in the front of the unit. The advantage of such models is the possibility of their placement at any distance from the hob.

Important! An independent oven, a stand-alone electric oven will last much longer, since the controls are designed for only one oven, and not for two panels.

Useful Tips:

1. If you have a hob, it will be difficult to choose an oven for it, since both devices must be of the same company and of the same class.
2. A simple oven with a multi-function hob with many functions would not be the best option if the control panel has buttons and handles, for example, for a grill, and there is no grill in the oven and vice versa. It makes no sense to purchase a multifunctional oven if there are no such control buttons on the hob. Therefore, choose a kit from one manufacturer where two household appliances are fully compatible with each other.
3. If you want to purchase an independent freestanding electric oven, select a unit with an additional microwave function. The device is easily transported, which means that you can easily cook food in the summer at the cottage.

Important! The only drawback of the electric oven is its high energy consumption. When using the device everyday, you will have to increase the item of energy costs.In addition, in some cases, it will be necessary to replace the wiring, because for the ovens grounding and a separate power line must be provided. We described in detail about connecting an electric oven in our separate articles:

• Where to install the outlet for the oven?
• How to connect the hob and oven to one outlet?

How to choose an electric oven?

The choice of household appliances on the market is huge, and depending on the number of options, an electric cabinet has a corresponding price. Consider the main selection criteria that you need to pay attention to when buying a unit.

Management and care

Advanced electric ovens have very simple controls, the main thing is to figure out what do the icons mean. All functions are easily included and regulated. Therefore, choosing a specific model, pay special attention to the type of cleaning device:

1. Catalytic. This cleaning method consists in the following: internal cavities having a special layer of porous enamel, thanks to the catalyst, are themselves cleaned of fat and other deposits directly during cooking.
2. Pyrolytic. This type of cleaning involves the inclusion of a special program that provides significant heating of the internal surfaces to a temperature at which all possible contaminants burn out. After cleaning and cooling the device, just walk with a clean damp cloth over all surfaces of the device.
3. Eco Clean. This is a gentle cleaning of the oven, which involves heating only the wall that is dirty. The remaining surfaces remain cold. This method significantly increases the life of the oven.

Safety operation

If you had to burn yourself by accidentally touching the oven door with your hand or foot, then select a device model with the outer plane of the viewing window that does not have excessive heat. The heating of the cabinet door itself is regulated by the installation of additional glasses. Multi-layer glazing will protect you and households from burns. In addition, such a door provides significant savings in heat and energy consumption.

Important! All manufacturers in the new models are moving from the usual use of two heat-resistant glasses to a design in three and four layers of glazing.

Modifications to telescopic ovens provide increased safety. Hot baking sheets in these models easily slide out while checking the readiness of the dish.

Important! Now there are models in which a separate extension is provided, as well as parallel rolling out of both guides.

The function “blowing walls with cold air” is designed to ensure the safety of not only people, but also the furniture in which the oven will be built. Due to the blowing of cold air in the internal special grooves, the outer surfaces of the cabinet do not heat up, therefore - the kitchen set will not dry out and deform.

Dimensions and dimensions

Dimensions of equipment are standard, only the width of the cabinets may vary. The width varies: 60, 70, 90 cm.

Here, consider the following when deciding to buy a freestanding oven:

1. In compact and benchtop ovens, the width can be 45 cm. This is very convenient if you decide to optimize the space of a small kitchen.
2. Ovens with a width of 90 cm and 120 cm are considered standard, but they are not very popular. Such units can afford either the owners of spacious private homes or apartments with a large kitchen.
3. Ovens with a width of 60 cm are quite spacious, you can bake a large cake in such an oven, or cook dinner for a large family of 10 people. And they are considered the universal option for any home.

Additional functions:

1. Timer.Although the timer has become a familiar attribute of household appliances, it is not available on all models of ovens. The timer will allow you to do other things while cooking, and after a set time will inform you that the dish is ready. An electronic or mechanical timer will guarantee a quality cooked dish - it will never burn.
2. Skewer. Shish kebab lovers will appreciate the rotating skewer. It can be fried as a whole chicken, as well as fish or meat. When choosing a freestanding electric oven, pay attention to the location of the skewer. If it is installed on the diagonal of the oven, then on such a spit you can cook more foods at a time.
3. Grill. If you are a gourmet or a lover of crisp, then choose a device with this function.
4. Convection. It is this function that allows you to bake on baking sheets of different levels, as with the circulation of hot air the entire surface of the oven warms up evenly. And if you bake several cakes at the same time at different levels, then they will all be baked the same way.
5. Flush mounted rotary switches. These switches are designed to prevent the oven from being turned on accidentally.
6. Software. The ability to program the device will completely untie your hands. You do not have to manually reduce or add heat, it is enough to include temperature changes in the program. The oven program provides: defrosting, drying, cooking yogurt, using only the bottom heating element, etc. The more programs - the higher the price of a separate electric oven.
7. Microwave function If you do not want to clutter up the kitchen with household appliances, then buy the “2 in 1” option, the oven will be in parallel with a microwave, which will give additional opportunities.
8. Temperature probe. This feature is not available on all models, even the highest price category. A temperature sensor is inserted inside the cooking dish and it monitors all changes. Such a function is useful during the preparation of complex dishes, when it is necessary to strictly observe the temperature regime.
