Internal volume involved in cooking. The larger the capacity, the more spacious the oven, but do not forget that this parameter also affects the dimensions of the device.
Useful power of the electric oven. The higher the power, the faster the device warms up to operating temperature and the faster food is cooked. However
, high power usually means high power consumption.
The main type of controls in the electric oven.
—
Rotary knobs. Mechanical rotary knobs often are used in the simplest low-cost models: one knob sets the heating power, the other — the operating time. The accuracy of such adjustments is not very high; it is especially true for the operating time.
—
Push-buttons. Control using buttons. Usually, it implies the presence of a display — otherwise, it would be difficult to control the operation. This option allows you to set the parameters more accurately — the timer in push-button models is usually electronic. In addition, it is well suited for models with built-in recipes, special modes, etc. Therefore, buttons are usually a feature of a model with advanced features.
—
Rotary knob + buttons. A kind of control that combines buttons (see above) with a rotary knob. The rotary knob does not rotate smoothly but in “steps”. The features of such control are generally similar to the usual push-button. But the rotary knob, in some cases, is more convenient than the buttons — for example, it is easier for them to set the time on the timer.
—
Touch controls. Another type of control is similar to the button described above. Touch panels look more advanced than push-buttons, are easier to operate, and have no protruding parts, making them less dirty and easier t
...o clean. The disadvantage of touch controls is a higher cost, which is why this option is found mainly in expensive models.The lower temperature level at which the electric oven starts heating. So, for example,
the minimum heating temperature up to 50 ˚С allows you to heat ready meals, heat tableware (before serving), dry crackers and other culinary products.
