What are the different types of oven?
There are several different types of ovens available, each with its own unique features and functionalities. In this guide we will cover some of the most common types of oven.
What is a Conventional oven?
A conventional oven, also known as a static or traditional oven, operates by using heating elements located at the top and bottom of the oven cavity to produce heat. When the oven is turned on and set to a specific temperature, the heating elements are activated and begin to generate heat. The heat radiates throughout the oven, creating a consistent temperature environment for cooking.
Unlike a fan-assisted oven, a static oven does not have a fan to circulate the air. Instead, the heat in a static oven remains stationary, creating a "static" or still air environment. This means that the heat is primarily transferred through radiation and natural convection.
What is a Fan Assisted oven?
A fan-assisted oven, also known as a convection oven, operates by utilizing a fan and heating elements to distribute heat evenly throughout the oven cavity. When the oven is turned on and set to a specific temperature, the heating elements are activated to generate heat. Simultaneously, the fan is also activated.
The fan in a fan-assisted oven plays a crucial role in the cooking process. As it spins, the fan draws in cool air from the oven and circulates it around the heating elements. This causes the air to heat up quickly, creating a constant flow of hot air within the oven.
What is a True Fan oven?
A true fan oven, also known as a fan-forced or fan-only oven, operates by utilizing a fan as the primary source of heat distribution. Unlike a fan-assisted oven, which combines both heating elements and a fan, a true fan oven relies solely on the fan to circulate the heated air within the oven cavity.
When the true fan oven is turned on and set to a specific temperature, the heating element located around the fan is activated to generate heat. The fan quickly distributes this heated air throughout the oven cavity, ensuring an even and consistent temperature throughout.
What is a Multifunction oven?
A multifunction oven is designed to offer a range of cooking methods and functionalities in a single appliance. It combines various heating elements, fans, and cooking modes to provide versatile cooking options.
Multifunction ovens offer a versatile cooking experience, often including conventional, fan-assisted and true fan functions enabling you to cook how you prefer in a single appliance.
