Rating of the best ovens for 2020

An oven is a useful and convenient invention for a comfortable human life. This is a kind of heir to the stove, and today this household appliance is found in almost every modern kitchen. In the article, we will find out about the best oven models in 2020.

About ovens

They differ in their structure, dishes are cooked in them without contacting directly with fire or a heating surface. Ready-made dishes cooked in the oven are healthier for humans than cooked in a different way, the food is subjected to uniform heat treatment.

They have many advantages and are leaders among large household appliances for the kitchen. Through trial and error, specialists have accumulated the features and secrets of handling the oven, which can be immediately applied in practice, let's talk in more detail ...

How the oven works

The main difference between the oven and the usual oven is its independence. You can install this useful household appliance in any convenient place in the kitchen without tying it to the stove or hob. The design is convenient and allows you to effectively and usefully use the free space in the kitchen. The range of ovens is diverse, and before purchasing it, you need to understand them in detail in order to remain satisfied with the purchase.

If we talk about the principle of their work, then it is similar to the stoves used by people in Ancient Russia. It is a cabinet with enough space for food and, of course, heating elements. The space inside is heated with gas or electricity.

Ovens are:

• independent.
• addicted.

To a large extent, modern cabinet models are independent. They have a separate control system, they are not connected with other household appliances. The hostesses have already appreciated such models, since it is possible to place it wherever you wish.

Often, manufacturers offer models of ovens, hobs and other household appliances in one design, this allows you to decorate a room in the same style.

Dependent type appliances come with a hob, they are a more budget option than buying a separate hob and an independent oven.

Regardless of the types of ovens, their standard depth is 60 cm, but there are other sizes. The selected indicator also depends on the depth of a standard kitchen set.

Control types

• electromechanical;
• electronic.

The electromechanical option for controlling the oven is simple and more budgetary.This type of control is suitable for people who are "not on friendly terms" with electronics, since this type of control will not cause difficulties when operating the oven. The control unit allows you to set the temperature, time and heating mode. Often, the switches are in models with recessed electromechanical control, which greatly simplifies the care of the device and the process of cleaning it.

Devices that are equipped with an electronic control mode, provide for setting by parameters using buttons or sensors, have a display that reflects useful information.

Of course, when choosing such a dimensional kitchen equipment, it is important to take into account the size of the room area. In active mode, the oven generates heat, so it is extremely important to leave free space from the walls of the furniture and the wall. Otherwise, this may not only lead to damage to the device, but also become a source of ignition and fire. Therefore, do not leave this seemingly unimportant factor unattended. The free space between the oven and the walls should be at least five mm, and the bottom should be 8.5 cm above the floor level. There are built-in ovens.

Operating modes

Modern models of electric ovens are equipped with devices with various functions.

More details:

• grill - allows you to cook dishes with a fragrant and golden brown crust;
• spit - thanks to the movement of the electric motor of the device, dishes will be cooked without the constant participation of the hostess, this is convenient, and also saves valuable time;
• Microwave is a great function that allows you to use the oven as a spacious and spacious microwave oven;
• electric ignition - only classic gas ovens have this function, this sufficiently increases the safety of using the device and allows you not to use matches or a lighter;
• telescopic guides - baking sheets and grates move along them without much effort. On some models, the guides automatically move when the door is opened;
• timer - a convenient function that reminds of the switched on oven for forgetful housewives;
• programming - a function thanks to which you need to press just one button, and the cooking process will be consistent and correct;
• the function of cooling the oven door;
• steaming function;
• blocking - the function is convenient because during the operation of the oven, cleaning, the gas supply is cut off, in the case when the fire goes out. This is an additional degree of protection and safety.

Ovens have different heating modes, namely:

• upper;
• lower;
• combined;
• grill.

In the case when the oven has a lower or upper heating type, the food heats up due to the heating of the air, the air masses rise up, and the cold ones go down. In models of ovens with one type of heating, you may encounter such a problem as overcooking or undercooking. Baking trays inside must be constantly rearranged, this is not always convenient. In this case, it is better to give preference to ovens with a combined heating mode.

In electric models of ovens, there is a forced convection function, due to which hot air is evenly distributed inside the cabinet. The food will cook evenly, bake, and brown in moderation. You will not need to constantly monitor the cooking process, you can save time and do other household chores.

Types of designs for the oven door

Most ovens open in the usual way - forward. If the kitchen space is small, this opening option is inconvenient. New models are equipped with different designs - hinged doors that can be opened to the left or right.

Equipment

As standard, these household appliances consist of a grate that is designed for roasting or baking, a pair of metal trays, often with a non-stick or enamel coating, differing in depth. Some models can be equipped with a special stone for baking homemade bread, a tempered glass baking sheet and other pleasant little things. It all depends on the chosen model and the manufacturer's firm and of course the cost.

Power

The temperature regime of a household appliance directly depends on its power. Ovens for 3.5 kilowatts are capable of reaching temperatures inside up to 500 degrees. Such a high temperature is not always necessary, since food is cooked at lower temperatures, and the process of cleaning such an oven can cause unnecessary worries for the hostesses.

The optimum power of the device for household use is 3 kilowatts. Many modern models have just such a parameter and are bought more often.

Safety

Ovens with an electric control mode are safer than with an electromechanical system, but provided that they have the following functions:

• blocking;
• lighting;
• cooling;

The first function allows you to lock the doors and control panel of the appliance.

The second function is convenient and will be appreciated by every housewife, since it facilitates the process of control over cooking, there is no need to often open the door and observe the dish, which is especially not recommended when baking confectionery.

And the last cooling function helps to prevent the outside of the oven door and the body from heating up to high temperatures, since this is not safe and can be injured if handled carelessly.

Cleaning types

When choosing an oven, it will be correct to pay attention to the options for cleaning it. Be that as it may, the cooking process leaves traces behind, and the process of washing the appliance is always laborious, which takes time and effort.

Cleaning happens:

• catalytic;
• pyrolytic;
• steam (hydrolysis).

The catalytic cleaning option is active during cooking and does not require additional cleaning afterwards. During this option, cleaning is carried out thanks to special catalysts that are located on the walls of the cabinet and therefore the grates, trays and the bottom of the device still have to be cleaned independently.

With a pyrolytic system, the inside of the oven is cleaned with a fire. When the oven is closed, the temperature inside reaches 500 degrees and cleaning takes place. Then you need to open it and remove the burn. A negative point with this option is the smell from combustion products on the walls of the device and hand washing after.

The essence of steam cleaning is simple and consists in the following: 0.5 liters of water is poured into a container and placed inside, the temperature in the oven should be 90 ° C. When heated, hot steam is formed, softening of fatty accumulations occurs. After which they disappear, and you only need to remove dirt from the walls with a damp cloth.

You can also clean the oven in the traditional way. To do this, you can use detergents, except abrasive (powders, soda). Prefer soft gels or sprays.

First, remove the grates, baking sheets and guides from the oven, then apply the agent to the walls and bottom of the appliance, heat the oven (this will melt the fat), thoroughly wash off the dirt with a detergent and wipe dry.

In the event that the aroma of the detergent remains, it is recommended to wipe the inside of the device with lemon juice or a weak vinegar solution.
