Element layout
Top and bottom elements that you can switch separately give control for cakes, bread and grilling. Some ovens add a rear element for convection. Even spacing of elements gives better browning.
Power and wiring
A 2,000 to 3,000 watt oven draws a heavy current, so use a heavy duty socket and a breaker rated for it, and avoid extension boards. See power sockets and breaker prices. A licensed electrician should check the circuit.
Placement
Place the oven on a stable, heat-resistant surface with at least 10 centimetres of space around it. Do not put it under low cabinets or near curtains, and keep the cable away from the hot door.
Simple setup for baking
- Preheat. 10 to 15 minutes at the set temperature.
- Check temperature. Hang an oven thermometer.
- Use the middle rack. For most cakes and cookies.
- Rotate trays. Halfway for even colour.
What to check before buying
- Tray fit. Test your tin.
- Thermostat accuracy. Use a thermometer.
- Door and glass. Solid and double glazed.
- Warranty and service. Written.
Before you decide
Decide how much you bake and how many trays you use at once, then choose litres and features to match. Ask the seller to show the oven reaching temperature and holding it. A good baking oven is a long-term tool, so buy for your next few years, not just today.
