These
options are not the only ones available. There are also double oven cookers
that allow you to cook in both the ovens simultaneously; single oven with
separate grill; allowing for you to use the oven and grill at the exact same
time; and single oven and grill. Fan ovens can be used to cook faster than
traditional ovens.
There are
many options to choose from when it comes to the additional features of a
modern range cooker. These are some examples of the major choices:
Conventional
ovens
Gas or electric
ovens are available. The heat from a conventional gas oven comes from the
burner located at the bottom of the oven. The heat from an electric oven is
generated by elements at the bottom and top of the oven.
A
conventional oven heats up to produce a higher temperature towards its top and
a lower temperature towards its bottom.
A
conventional oven's heat zones make it possible to cook a variety of dishes at
different temperatures. Conventional ovens can be used for traditional cooking,
such as roast meat and cakes.
Electric
grill
An electric
grill can have one or two elements and, depending on its model, may have
variable or fixed heat settings. Variable grills have heat output that can be
adjusted by switching between low heat or high heat settings.
Ovens
with fan assisted heating.
Fanned ovens
have even temperatures because the fan circulates heat. This makes it ideal for
batch baking. The cavity's heat source is the element at the back.
Fanned
grilling
Available in
ovens with multifunction and fanned ovens.
The heat
comes from the grill element. Hot air circulates around the food so there's no
need to turn while grilling. It is ideal for grilling meats, as it allows the
meat to cook and brown.
Base and
fan cooking
Only select
multifunction ovens have this feature.
The fan
circulates heat throughout the oven from the fan, which is located in the
oven's base.
This is a
great way to make moist dishes, where both the base and filling need to be
cooked evenly.
Hotplate
lids
Hotplate
lids are available for some range and freestanding cookers. These lids
can be toughened glass for some models or solid cast iron for our Farm style
range. The safety feature on gas hotplate lids (on dual fuel or gas models) is
that the hotplate burner will turn off if it is closed accidentally.
Clock and
programmer for automatic programming
Minute
minder
The LED hour
minder/clock has a 24-hour clock display. The clock also has a minute minder
function, which is used to alert you when your cooking needs attention. After
the desired time has passed, an alarm will sound. The minute minder is independent
of the oven. If your cooking takes longer than expected, you don't need to
reset it.
Multifunctional
oven
An electric
oven that can perform multiple functions is called a Multifunction oven. You
can choose from the following: fanned oven, conventional oven cooking and
grilling.
Pyrolytic
Triple-glazed
doors are common in these ovens. They can withstand high temperatures and burn
excess food. Ovens can reach extremely high temperatures and lock automatically
to prevent you from getting too close to the heat.
Shelve
support
Many ovens
have removable shelves and supports. This makes cleaning easier, especially
since they can be washed in a dishwasher.
You can
place shelves in many different places inside an oven to ensure that the food
is at the right height.
Stay
clean liners
The oven's
cleaning time can be greatly reduced by using Stay Clean Liners. This special
coating burns most of the fat by-products and food spillages on impact. Your
oven will be cleaner and require less wiping.
Only top
heat
This
function is also available in certain Multifunction ovens and electric
conventional ovens.
The top
oven's element produces heat. The top heat is perfect for browning the tops of
oven-cooked dishes.
Inner
door glass
Ovens are
equipped with an inner panel of glass that can be removed for cleaning.
Warming
plates
Some
electric range cookers include a toughened glass warming plate made of heat-resistant toughened
glass. This plate is ideal for heating plates or keeping pans warm at low heat
before serving.
Wipe
clean enamel interior
This enamel
grill or oven interior finish is durable and can be easily cleaned after use.
