First, the choice of capacity.
For baking, the choice of capacity is very important. As baking white, it is best to choose a bigger oven. Because the temperature of the small oven is uneven, it is difficult to master and it is easy to break down, so generally speaking, it is better to choose an oven above 25L.
Second, is the temperature control up to standard?
Temperature control should be considered from many aspects. One is the temperature range. The larger the range, the more uniform the heating, generally 40 to 250 degrees is better. The other is the number and distribution of baking tubes. Generally, a good oven will be equipped with more than four baking tubes, which are distributed at the top, bottom and back of the oven, and the back is usually hot air, so as to ensure accurate temperature control and better coloring when baking.
Third, whether to use steam.
Steam is indispensable in the baking process, and the presence or absence of steam directly affects the taste and color of the product. For example, in the bakery, we saw those big, heavy, black, golden, hard and brittle skins. After cutting, we found that the internal tissue of the bread was soft and tough, and the small and uniform European bread was made by adding steam. At present, domestic ovens generally have no steam function, but we can choose a steam oven that integrates steaming and baking. A better steam oven is not worse than a pure oven in baking function.
Fourth, is the material up to standard?
The material of the oven is not only related to our safety, but also affects the temperature field balance inside and outside the oven. Anyone who has used an oven knows that the glass door temperature of a cheap oven is relatively high during operation. If there are children at home, this carelessness may lead to lifelong burns. Moreover, the heat in the box will be radiated through the glass door and the box body, resulting in the temperature of the space near the glass door being lower than that in the middle and rear space, and the surface color of the food before and after baking is uneven. Therefore, it is recommended to buy an oven with more than two explosion-proof and heat-insulating glass doors. If you can, you can buy embedded ones, which have good heat insulation, strong heat dissipation and high safety factor.
5. Is there a built-in lighting and transparent door panel?
Whether baking or cooking other foods, we need to observe the situation inside at any time in order to adjust the temperature and time in time to avoid baking, so we need transparent door panels and lighting lamps to observe the situation inside.
6. Is it easy to clean?
Cleaning the oven is a troublesome problem. It is suggested to choose the inner cavity made of stainless steel, which is convenient to clean and resistant to high temperature and corrosion. Then see if there is an automatic descaling function and an automatic cleaning system. All these can greatly lighten our cleaning work.
Many friends who are ready to enter the "pit" are also very entangled in what kind of oven is suitable for novices. As an experienced person, Bian Xiao chose the oven with rich configuration. The price difference is not very big. The key is to save upgrading in the future and avoid waste. I believe that most people who have experienced it have this experience.
Precautions:
For ovens with steam, it is best to choose 3 10S stainless steel for baking tubes, which is resistant to high temperature and corrosion, while 840 stainless steel in general ovens is only resistant to high temperature and weak in corrosion resistance.
