Electric Ovens

If you purchase an oven separately standing electric, you can cook all the same dishes as in a gas oven and plus a lot of different delicacies, as the temperature of heating in such cabinets is as below, soand from above, and sometimes from the rear wall, and the side panels of the unit.

Device Features:

1. The lower heating element is under the bottom, and the convection fan located on the rear wall blows the cooking dishes. As a result, they are well baked and browned. Before the convection fan is usually built in an annular fan, thanks to which the working chamber is evenly warmed up.
2. One of the motivating factors for the purchase of an electric oven is the function of the grill. In grill chambers that function from a separately mounted engine, you can instantly prepare mouth-watering hot sandwiches, and also provide a crispy crust at the end of cooking hams, ribs and other dishes.
3. When frying a fish or a whole bird carcass, a spit is used, rotating from an autonomous motor. The entire draining fatty liquid is collected in a special tray, which is included in the equipment of the unit. Intensive heating promotes the formation of a fragrant, appetizing, crusty crust, and inside the dish the meat becomes soft and with a wonderful taste.
4. If you are a fan of meat with a haze, then use a shish kebab with skewers, the rotation of which provides a built-in miniature engine. This device is convenient to use in any weather and in any place. At the dacha, you do not even need to kindle a fire to cook meat on the coals. 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. In terms of mobility, the oven can be either stand alone, that is, independent of the niche - not embedded, and static - built-in headset. A non-built-in closet is suitable for people who are accustomed to changing furniture often and like to rearrange household appliances in order to bring something new to the perception of the surrounding space. The oven can be hidden in a floor cabinet or installed on a stable open shelf, or you can put it on the bar and visually demarcate the functional areas.
6. An independent electric oven can additionally defrost products or replace a steamer to provide households with a dietary diet.

Control principle

Stand-alone electric ovens are divided by the control method into:

• Stand-alone.
• Dependent.

What are the pros and cons of each of them?- Everything is quite simple:

1. Dependent models work only complete with a hob and have one button: on and off. The oven is controlled in such models from the hob, and if it breaks, you can not use the oven.
2. Autonomous ovens are absolutely independent, they work independently. The control panel is located in the front of the unit. The advantage of such models is the possibility of placing them at any distance from the hob.

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

Useful advices:

1. If you have a hob, it will be difficult to find an oven for it, since both appliances must be of one firm and one class.
2. A simple oven with a multi-function hob with many functions will not be the best option if the control panel has buttons and knobs, for example, for a grill, and in the oven there is no grill and vice versa. It is pointless to purchase a multifunctional oven if there are no such control buttons on the hob. Therefore, choose a set of one manufacturer, where two appliances are fully compatible with one another.
3. If you want to purchase an independent stand-alone oven, electric, select an assembly with an additional microwave function. The device is easily transported, it means - you can easily prepare food in the summer at the cottage.

Important! The only drawback of the electric oven is its high energy consumption. With everyday use of the device you will have to increase the item of electricity costs. In addition, in some cases, you will need to replace the wiring, because for ovens should be provided for grounding and a separate power line.

How to choose an electric oven?

The choice of household appliances on the market is huge, and depending on the number of options, the electric cabinet has an appropriate price. Let's consider the basic selection criteria, which you should pay attention to when buying the unit.

Operation and Maintenance

Advanced electric ovens have very simple controls. All functions are easily turned on and regulated. Therefore, choosing a specific model, pay special attention to the type of cleaning device:

1. Catalytic. This method of cleaning is as follows: the 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 internal surfaces to a temperature at which all possible contaminants are burned out. After the procedure of cleaning and cooling down the device it is enough to just walk through a clean damp cloth on all surfaces of the device.
3. Eso Clean. This is a gentle cleaning of the oven, which involves heating only the wall that is contaminated. The remaining surfaces remain cold. It is this method that significantly increases the life of the oven.

Operation safety

If you have to burn yourself by accidentally touching the oven door with your hand or foot, then choose the model of the device with the external plane of the viewing window, which does not have excessive heating. The heating of the cabinet door itself is regulated by the installation of additional glass. Multilayered glazing will protect you and the household from burns. In addition, such a door provides significant savings in heat and power consumption.

Important! All manufacturers in the new models move from the usual application of two heat-resistant glasses to the construction in three and four layers of glazing.

Modifications of ovens with telescopic rails will provide increased safety. Hot baking sheets in such models are easily pushed out while checking the dish for readiness.

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

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

Dimensions and dimensions

Dimensions of equipment are standard, only in width cabinets can differ. The width is within the range: 60, 70, 90 cm.

Here, consider the following when deciding to buy an oven stand-alone electric:

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

Additional functions:

1. Timer. Although the timer has become a familiar attribute of household appliances, but it does not exist in all models of the oven. The timer will allow you during cooking, to do other things, and after a set time will tell you that the dish is ready. Electronic or mechanical timer will guarantee a quality cooked dish - it will never burn.
2. Rotisserie. Lovers of shish kebabs will be pleased with a rotating spit. On it you can fry as a whole chicken, and fish or meat. Choosing an oven separately standing electric, pay attention to the location of the spit. If it is installed diagonally on the oven, then on such a spit you can cook more food at a time.
3. Grill. If you are a gourmet or a crusty judge, then choose a device with this function.
4. Convection. It is this function that allows you to bake on baking trays of different levels, because with the circulation of hot air the whole surface of the oven warms evenly. And if you bake several cakes simultaneously at different levels, they will all be equally baked.
5. Heated rotary switches. Such switches are designed to prevent accidental activation of the oven.
6. Software. The ability to program the device will completely untie your hands. You do not have to manually reduce or add heat, just change the temperature in the program. The oven program provides: defrosting, drying, yogurt preparation, using only the bottom heating element, etc. The more programs - the higher the price for the oven is a stand-alone electric.
7. Microwave function. If you do not want to clutter the kitchen with household appliances, then buy the option "2 in 1", the oven will be in parallel and a microwave oven, which will give you additional options.
8. Temperature probe. This function is not available on all models even the highest price category. The temperature sensor is inserted inside the cooking dish, and it monitors all changes. This function is useful during the preparation of complex dishes, when you need to strictly observe the temperature regime.
