How to Choose an Oven That Meets Your Cooking Needs Over time ovens have been constantly evolving in design and functionality. You can now find ovens that have self-cleaning lines. These lines make the oven's interior more hot and helps in cleaning. Some models have the option of a timer that can be set independent of the cooking function. History Since the beginning of time, humans have utilized fire to stay warm and cook food. It wasn't until 1490 that an oven specifically designed for cooking was created in France constructed of bricks with a grate to where cauldrons made of steel could be positioned. The new oven was an improvement over the open flames in a fireplace where cooking was conducted with large metal pots that were hung over. However, it was still difficult to control the temperature. It took years of testing and improvements before a method could be developed to bake bread or roast meat without becoming black. Ovens have improved over the centuries. In the 1800s, huge brick hearths with a brick-oven were built, and metal cauldrons were hung above to cook. It took another two decades for the first practical coal-fired oven to be invented in 1833. Then came the invention of the first gas stoves, with top burners and ovens inside. In 1826, British inventor James Sharp invented the first oven that was semi-failure. In 1920 they were a standard kitchen appliance. It took about 60 years from that point before electric ovens came into the market, depending on the speed that electricity was introduced to households. In the US they're referred to as toaster ovens, and in Britain they're referred to as hob s. However the term “oven” is used more broadly to describe any type that uses any heat source that isn't an open fire or metal cauldron. There are many kinds of ovens available today. You can find one to do whatever you need to from grilling to baking to steaming. There are plenty of options to meet the needs of all budgets and tastes whether you're in the market for an wood-fired Aga or double walled oven. However, just like the ovens of the past, they're not indestructible and they can fail at times and that's the reason we are here.

For instance, some ovens are what is known as fan assisted. This is because, as well as the oven element heating the food, there is a fan that circulates the hot air around the oven cavity to ensure that the food is cooked evenly. This is particularly useful baking. Some ovens can also be controlled remotely via an app. This is particularly handy when you're busy or if you want your dinner ready when you arrive from work. Multicooking technology is also available that allows you to cook with traditional microwave or steam in the same appliance. You can achieve professional results quicker, such as perfectly roasted potatoes or a whole chicken*. You can cut down on your energy use by as much as 50%. This technology is sometimes called”multicooker” or “multicooker” however we believe that the term “gourmet” is more accurate! Energy efficiency Ovens are a common feature in the majority of UK kitchens and are used on a regular basis for roasting, baking, and even for making some of our favourite desserts. When it comes to choosing a new oven it is important to select one that meets our needs for cooking while being energy-efficient. Owing to the rise in electricity prices, it's now more crucial than ever to consider how much an oven cost to run. It's important to check the energy rating on each oven's page. It is ideal to have an oven with an A+ or above energy rating which will help to reduce your household's expenses. While you're looking at the energy rating, you should also consider the additional features available. For instance, if seeking to reduce the time spent cleaning the oven, look for an oven that has self-cleaning capabilities. This means that the oven can heat up to 400-500 degrees Celsius, and burn any food spills. You can avoid having to clean your oven frequently. Other useful functions to look for include the child lock, which stops children from operating the appliance and a minute minder, which lets you set a specific time limit for your cooking. Some ovens also have smart technology, which allows you to connect to an app on your smartphone to control it remotely should you wish. According to Uswitch the cost of an electric oven is around 17p an hour. It's therefore important to choose the correct model for your home, so that you can cut your energy bills. Other appliances, such as microwaves, air fryers and slow cookers, use less energy than an electric oven. Another method to cut down on your energy consumption when it comes to cooking is to make sure that your oven is properly insulated. Install a reflective hood over the cooker's hood to reflect heat back into the cavity. This will help reduce your energy costs, since your oven won't have to work as hard to keep a constant temperature. Cooking options Based on the frequency you cook and your most loved recipes Your oven could come with a variety of features that help you prepare food more efficiently. Some of these settings include bread proofing which creates a warm, controlled environment that allows dough to rise. Or lower heat settings to ensure consistency and gentle cooking. Certain models provide rapid heat settings that allow you to get temperatures up to speed which is great for those who are working in a hurry. Some ovens come with the ability to defrost using low heat to slowly warm frozen food without cooking it, saving you time and money. Other options like the Interior Light feature lets you see your food while baking and the Reheat function keeps hot dishes at a lower temperature to avoid drying out or overcooking. It's evident that an oven is an important kitchen appliance. If you're looking to get the most out of your oven, you must be familiar with the various functions of it. If you're making a traditional roast it is recommended that you make use of the Conventional setting to ensure that it comes out crisp and well-cooked. If you plan to grill meat using the Grill mode, it will yield juicy and flavorful steaks. Ovens have a variety of accessories built in, such as racks and tray. They also have telescopic runs for shelves. There are also models that come with additional features like a warming drawer or small steam ovens that offer an alternative to traditional baking, increasing the nutritional value and removing unhealthy additives. Stand-alone ovens on the other hand, tend to have fewer built in features and are available in smaller capacities. They are generally smaller than cookers and can have capacities of 30-40 litres although some are larger. These may be better suited to homes with a small amount of space, or that don't use a lot of hob cooking. There are some that have multiple cooking options, including pizza stones that produce crisp crusts and an insulated plate for steaming vegetables.
