What determines the preparation quality of an oven?
The specifications for preparation quality
We determine the preparation quality based on the following specifications:
- Number of automatic programs
- Oven function types
- Steam function
- Minimum temperature
- Maximum temperature
- Preheat quickly: ensures that the oven gets to the right temperature within a couple of minutes.
- Fan type: a turbo fan is more suitable for preparing on multiple rack levels.
- Temperature control oven: an oven with electric controls ensures that the temperature is more constant and precise.
High-end preparation quality
For the best result, choose high-end preparation quality. The appliances in this category have over 70% of the above specifications. In this range, you'll mostly find combi ovens or combi steam ovens. With the automatic programs, the appliance chooses the right settings for your dish. So you won't have to do anything yourself. Choose a model with sensors to accurately monitor your dish. This way, you know exactly when your steak is at the right temperature.
Middle-class preparation quality
The ovens in this category have at least 50% of the specifications mentioned above. Thanks to the turbo fan function, the oven heats up quickly and evenly. This makes these appliances suitable for preparing multiple dishes at the same time. They reach a 180°C temperature within a couple of minutes, so you can slide your turkey into the oven quickly.
Basic preparation quality
If you're looking for a standard oven, one with a basic preparation quality is a good choice for you. These ovens have less than 50% of the specifications and only have a fan and grill function. In this category, you'll find many ovens with dials. For a more precise preparation, we recommend an oven with buttons. This ensures that the temperature is more accurate and constant.
