Choosing the Right Oven
A centrepiece to many kitchens and the key feature of a variety of different kitchen designs, your oven is highly important in cooking great meals as well as ensuring that you have a fully functioning kitchen. Choosing the best oven for you is therefore highly important as you will want an oven that suits you. Your new oven should last for around a decade, so you will want to choose an oven that you will find highly useful throughout this time period. As we mentioned, you have various choices when choosing your oven. Firstly, you will want to consider which type of oven best suits you.
A single oven gives you one cooking area but is a great option if you are pushed for space. Being around 60cm tall, you can slot these under a counter or have a built-in single oven. These types of ovens are great for if you just need a cooking area and don’t have very many residents living in your property. Double ovens are good for families where you can utilise two cooking areas instead of one. You can install a built-in double oven or a smaller double built-under oven which is stored under the counter. A single larger oven can often be better than a smaller double oven if you need the space.
Fuel Types & Oven Heating Options That are Available
For electric ovens, there’s two heating options that are available. A conventional electric oven comprise of electric elements on the top and bottom of the oven. Zoned heating means that the oven is hotter on the top elements compared to the bottom. Most ovens in recent times are now fan operated as this offers a more efficient heating system. The air is heated by electric elements in this oven but this heat is then circulated by a fan. This offers a faster cooling time, even colouring, usually not required to be preheated, even temperatures throughout cooking and great for cooking on more than one shelf.
For gas ovens, you can set the temperature by using the gas mark which controls the temperature of the centre of the oven. As hot air rises, the top shelf will be hotter than the middle and base shelves. This is ideal for cooking full courses where you need different heat levels for different types of food. Gas ovens do make food noticeably more moist and is great for baking. There are conventional British gas ovens as well as European gas ovens which have concealed burners.
Additional Oven Features
The capacity of ovens varies with the stated oven capacity ranging from around 51L to 76L. The average capacity for single ovens is around 64L and a double oven is around 62L for the main oven and 35L for the smaller oven. It’s important to bear in mind that the positioning of shelving and the layout of different types of shelves can affect the amount of capacity you are able to use. It’s important to consider the types of meals you are cooking as well as the amount of food that you are going to be cooking when selecting your oven capacity. Also check the width to make sure that you can fit your oven or consider a built-in or built-under oven if you are pushed for space.
For cleaning options, you have the option to manually clean your oven but there is also technology that allows you your oven to effectively self-clean itself. Pyrolytic technology heats up your oven at extremely high temperatures (around 400 degrees Celsius) making short work of grease and debris and reducing it into a black powder. This can be wiped away with a wet cloth after the cleaning cycle has been carried out. Ovens also come equipped with catalytic liners which may be sides, back and sometimes the roof of the oven. These cannot be cleaned with conventional cleaning methods but similarly to Pyrolytic cleaning, you can heat your oven with nothing inside to remove grease and debris and reduce it into a black powder.
