Traditionally for home baking we use an oven that comes complete with a gas or electric stove. However, this unit is very cumbersome and can not be transported frequently. And if you need a stove that you can take with you to the dacha or your kitchen does not contain all the desired household appliances, then it's time to think about buying a compact electric oven for baking (roaster).
A benchtop electric oven for baking at home is a great opportunity to improve your daily routine and start baking culinary masterpieces with comfort, as well as drying fruits , biscuits, mushrooms or simply warming up food in it.
Advantages of electric baking ovens at home
Advantage of the electric furnace in front of the gas is the smoother regulation of the temperature in the cabinet, the rapid warm-up and simple connection to the power supply and heat supply.
With such an oven you can not only tasty bake, but also roast meat, and do it wherever there is access to a power source - in the country, at work, in the garage, etc.
Choice of an electric oven for bread baking
Today you can meet a huge variety of electric ovens for baking pies and bread at home. Often they are a one-piece device, but there are models with 2 or more sections, in which you can cook several different dishes at the same time, and under different temperature regimes. In such a furnace, you can immediately bake bread and fry the meat until it is delicious.
Different models of furnaces are equipped with a different set of options, including grilling, timer, convection, thermoregulation, sound signal after cooking, the ability to set cooking programs, etc.
By dimensions, electric furnaces are also different. From miniature capacity of 8.5 liters to large in 40 liters. Usually complete with the oven is a grate, spit, baking sheet, pallet and a book with recipes.
Choosing a stove, you need to determine the desired size, the necessary set of functions, the amount you are willing to pay.
So, for a small family, buying a bulky two-section oven can be impractical, since you will rarely cook in two sections at a time. But for a larger family, this can be justified, since the oven will replace the cooker and simplify the cooking process.
To obtain the ideal baking in mini-electric furnaces, choose models with convection. This function ensures a uniform distribution of heat in the oven by means of a built-in fan.
The presence of other additional functions will make the device even more multifunctional. For example, the defrost function will save you the need to have a microwave oven. And if the top cover is removed from the oven, it can play the role of an electromangal. The grill function will allow you to cook delicious steaks or vegetables.
Keep track of the presence of pleasant and useful devices such as a thermostat that will not allow products to burn, a removable tray that will facilitate the cleaning of the oven, round shapes that will help in the preparation of pizza or lasagna, a rotating spit that will make it possible to get an ideally baked chicken or shish kebab . And if the oven has a light, it will make the cooking process more visual and comfortable.
Be sure to check the quality of the coating before buying - its ability to withstand heat, withstand scratches and other mechanical influences. Ask the seller for a certificate of quality and a guarantee for the device - the availability of these documents indicates the good faith of the manufacturer and the proper quality of the goods.
