Ovens
While the basic function of all ovens is
the same -- transferring heat to food --
there are many variations of ovens, each
suited to a particular cooking style.
When buying an oven, here are
some factors
to consider:
- Heating type - flame, heating element, convection,
or radiation.
- Power source - electric, gas, wood, or coal
- Size and number of ovens
- Style - standalone, oven/range combinations,
and built-in (for below or above counter
use)
- Appearance, which includes materials such
as stainless steel and colors.
- Convenience features such as delayed start,
multiple temperature programming, and digital
temperature setting and readout.
- Usage - consider whether the primary purpose
will be for baking, broiling, keeping warm,
defrosting, warming, or reheating, and whether
the oven will be used as a part of your main
kitchen or perhaps in another area of your
house such as an outdoor kitchen or snack area.
