A guide to buying a single electric oven

An electric oven is a versatile kitchen appliance that has come into favour in many kitchens. Electric ovens allow for easy temperature control. Most have push button or touch screen controls, sometimes with fancy menu features, that make cooking simple for even the novice chef. However, before buying a single electric oven, there are many different things to consider.

Brand

The first thing to think about when buying a single electric oven or built-in single oven is the brand of the oven. Almost, every appliance manufacturer makes electric ovens, so you will have a huge variety of choices. Some brands of appliance manufacturers, which make single electric ovens include General Electric, KitchenAid, Electrolux, Viking and Wolf. The more expensive brands are Viking and Wolf, while GE models can either be entry level or expensive, depending on whether you opt for GE Cafe, GE Profile or GE Monogram.
Budget
The budget that you have is going to make the biggest difference in what brand you get, with the cheapest electric oven, being the best for someone with limited funds.

Size

The size of the electric oven is going to be a hugely important factor in deciding what to buy for your oven. Standard sizes for ovens include 27 inch ovens and 30 inch ovens. If the single oven is to be your only oven, think about how much space you need within it. Storage capacity For most people, they want their built-in electrical cookers to be large enough to roast a turkey or a ham for the holidays, so this can be your determining factor. Think also about the size of your cookie sheets and of your largest roasting pan. You may even want to take these items to the store with you when you chop for ovens.

Other factors

Other factors to consider include whether you want stainless steel ovens, white ovens or black ovens. Stainless steel ovens have become very common and easy to find, but you may still pay a bit more. The features of the oven are also going to be important. Some ovens have convection bake, which allows for foods to be cooked more quickly. If this is a feature that is important to you, you may be willing to pay a premium for it over cheap ovens without this cooking technology.
