The Kitchen Design Company Advise on What Sort of Oven to Buy

The helpful and experienced team at The Kitchen Design Company are often asked what sort of oven people should get for their kitchen, and the pros and cons of each, so below is some advice that they give to their customers. They are also frequently asked about pyrolytic or self-cleaning ovens.

 

In answer to the latter, The Kitchen Design Company team explain that self-cleaning ovens have a pyrolytic ground coat, which reduces foodstuffs to ash with exposure to temperature around 500 °C (932 °F). The oven walls are coated with heat- and acid-resistant porcelain enamel. Self-cleaning ovens usually have more insulation than standard ovens to reduce the possibility of fire. Self-cleaning ovens are considered more convenient and time saving therefore more cost effective.

 

Another trend revolutionising the kitchen space is the prevalence of the steam oven. Some reviews have said that it does everything that the microwave does but the quality of the food is significantly better. However, the microwave is still featured within the new appliance trends with under the counter configurations growing in popularity as they are less conspicuous and take up much less room in the kitchen.

 

Two of the most popular types of ovens are conventional ovens and convection ovens, and many newer ovens have the option of cooking food in either fashion depending on the set mode. The difference in these two types of ovens is the way in which the heat in the oven is dispersed during the cooking process. Electric ovens effectively distribute heat while being powered by electricity, although this can often result in a higher heating cost for the consumer. Many prefer this type of oven because they tend to use dry heat, which helps prevent the buildup of rust. Electric ovens also feature a thermostat that controls the oven's temperature electronically, and many have top, bottom, or rear grill elements. Electric ovens can take longer to heat, but they are relatively inexpensive in cost compared to other types of ovens.

 

For individuals who spend a lot of time in the kitchen, gas ovens are more economical in the long run, even though they are usually initially more expensive to purchase. These ovens tend to heat and cool down more quickly than other types of ovens do, allowing greater convenience for buyers who may need to bake in a hurry or who have small children around. Gas ovens are known to provide great control over the exact temperature of the oven, giving them the ability to heat evenly. Unlike electric ovens that utilize dry heat, gas ovens allow for additional moisture which may prevent baked goods from becoming hard and brittle before the inside of the food is fully cooked.
