Rating of the best ovens for 2022

The 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 available in almost every modern kitchen. In the article we will learn about the best models of ovens in 2022.

About ovens

They differ in their structure, dishes are prepared in them without direct contact with fire or a heating surface. Ready-made meals cooked in the oven are healthier for a person than cooked in another way, the food is subjected to uniform heat treatment.

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

How the oven works

The main difference between an oven and a conventional 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 efficiently 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 be 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 Rus'. It is a cabinet in which there is enough space for placing products and, of course, heating elements. The space inside is heated with gas or electricity.

Ovens are:

• independent.
• dependent.

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

Often, manufacturers offer models of ovens, hobs and other household appliances in the same design, this allows you to decorate the 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 type 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 the standard kitchen set.

Types of management

• 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 “friends” 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 in models with electromechanical control are recessed, which greatly simplifies the maintenance of the device and the process of cleaning it.

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

Of course, when choosing such overall equipment for the kitchen, it is important to consider the size of the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room. In the 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, it may not only cause 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 must be at least five mm, and the bottom must 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 a variety of functions.

More:

• grill - allows you to cook dishes with a fragrant and ruddy crust;
• spit - thanks to the movement of the electric motor of the appliance, dishes will be prepared without the constant participation of the hostess, this is convenient, and also saves precious time;
• Microwave is a great feature that allows you to use the oven as a spacious and roomy 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 grids move along them without much effort. In some models, the guides automatically move when the door is opened;
• the timer is a handy feature that reminds forgetful housewives of the switched on oven;
• programming - a function due to which you need to press just one button, and the cooking process will be consistent and correct;
• oven door cooling function;
• steam function;
• blocking - the function is convenient in that during the operation of the oven, cleaning, the gas supply is cut off, in the case when the fire goes out. This 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 is heated due to the heating of the air, the air masses rise up, and the cold ones fall down. In models of ovens with one type of heating, you may encounter such a problem as overcooking or undercooking. 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. Food will be cooked evenly, baked and fried in moderation. You will not need to constantly monitor the cooking process, you can save time and do other household chores.

Types of oven door designs

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

Equipment

As standard, these household appliances consist of a grill, which are designed for frying or baking, a pair of metal baking sheets, 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 pan and other nice little things. It all depends on the chosen model and manufacturer and of course the cost.

Power

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

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

Safety

Ovens with an electric control mode are safer than those with an electromechanical system, but on condition 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 every housewife will appreciate it, as it facilitates the process of control over cooking, there is no need to frequently 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 it is possible to injure yourself if handled carelessly.

Types of cleaning

When choosing an oven, it will be right 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 option for cleaning the appliance is active during cooking and does not require additional washing after. During this option, cleaning takes place thanks to special catalysts that are located on the walls of the cabinet, and therefore the grates, baking sheets and the bottom of the appliance still have to be cleaned on their own.

With a pyrolytic system, the inside of the oven is cleaned with fire. When the oven is closed, the temperature inside reaches 500 degrees and cleaning takes place. After you need to open it and remove the cinder. The negative point with this option is the smell of combustion products on the walls of the appliance and manual washing after.

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

You can clean the oven in the traditional way. To do this, you can use detergents, except for abrasive ones (powders, soda). Give preference to soft gels or sprays.

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

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