What are all the different types of ovens and which one is right for me?

Ovens come in a range of shapes, sizes and styles. These include built-in wall ovens and freestanding stoves that integrate a cooktop or grill.

There are ovens and stoves that run on natural gas or electricity, as well as dual fuel models that use both fuel sources. Electric ovens are simple to install in just about any kitchen, and deliver reliable, dry heat that’s ideal for baking. Gas ovens use flames to provide instant heat that tends to be more humid than electric ovens, making them a good choice for preparing juicy roasts. Some gas ovens can be converted to run on LPG bottled gas rather than natural gas.

Steam ovens are another option. By cooking with steam, you won’t need to baste your food in as much oil or better to keep it from drying out during cooking, resulting in healthy and delicious meals.

However, steam isn’t the best method for browning food, so if you want to give your baking a crisp crust, it’s usually wise to opt for a combi steam oven that also provides electric heating.

Some ovens are also self-cleaning designs, using either pyrolytic or catalytic cleaning. Pyrolytic ovens use a high-temperature heat cycle to blast food stains and splashes from its interior, leaving only ash. Catalytic ovens use special panels to absorb food splashes, breaking them down when heated to high temperatures. Catalytic cleaning generally uses less energy than pyrolytic cleaning, but you will need to replace the catalytic panels every so often.
