Convection Ovens Buying Guide
In a convection oven, the heated air spreads well throughout the cavity due to the fan which is built into the back of the oven allowing food to be cooked evenly. Convection ovens work very well for baking and dessert preparation because these types of recipes need even temperatures for perfect results. Convection oven cooking is faster so recipes using standard ovens should normally be reduced to get good results. Look for humidifiers, variable fan speeds, timers and other programmes.
Convection ovens do not have to be built-in; there are plenty of countertop versions in different sizes and free-standing items too.
Points to Remember:
- Think about what you cook to help you understand what appliances will work for you.
- Look for products which come with a manufacturers guarantee.
- Seek out the basics which cover a number of cooking methods.
- Seek out those with humidifiers for steaming and crisping.
- Look for variable fans for cooking delicate dishes.
- Look for timers/programme features.
