Things to Think About When Looking for a New Oven

Things to think about when you buy a new oven - James Green


The Oven is possibly one of the most used appliances in the kitchen, you may use the sink, kettle and toaster more regularly but not for the same length of time as an oven.

The oven has one very specific function to cook or defrost food, so essentially to heat-up food. This is done in a manner of different ways: Heating, De-frosting, Baking, Broiling and Roasting.

There is generally speaking two different types of Oven - Electric Ovens, now becoming the most common and Gas Ovens which are begging to become less used. There are also convection ovens, the convection system is used by gas and electric ovens and blows hot air around the oven cavity with the use of a powerful fan. Then there are also Microwave ovens which use microwave radiation to pulse the food and cook it.

So that's already a good number of different types of oven available but when you consider that and then add into the mix extra features, manufacturers and designs that list becomes quite extensive! So as you can see, choosing a new oven might not be as easy as it first seems, never fear I'm here to inform and guide you along this tricky path!

First things first - Location. Will you be putting your new Oven in the same place that you will be removing the old one from? Or are you renovating the kitchen also? Will the Oven be Freestanding? Placed upon legs on the floor or will it be a wall oven? Mounted into the wall where one of your cupboards would go? Wall mounted is becoming increasingly more common.

The size or 'capacity' of Ovens is measured in Litres, (I have no idea why they just are) but generally its recommended that the more family members that you will be cooking for the more litres you will need. So for example if you only had two people using the oven then anything around or smaller than 30 litres is ok, and then you increase from there. You'll want to make sure that your biggest and best pans will fit inside too.

Controls, these are what you will be using to 'control' your new oven, if you don't know how it works you cannot use it is generally what'll happen. Make sure you read the instruction manual that'll come with the new oven. Oven controls are usually either Analogue or Digital. Analogue controls are the physical knobs, dials and switches that you'll find on a lot of older and more traditional ovens, useful to have for the less technologically minded. Digital controls are all buttons and pressure sensitive areas that you can control through touch and gesturing. These type of controls can give a better degree of accuracy but can be prone to breaking or malfunctioning although with the advancement in modern technology this is becoming a rarity. An oven that has digital controls is usually all-singing-all-dancing and is what I like to refer to as 'the-super-oven'.

Additional features like pull out telescopic racks are good and any extras that come with an oven can be used or not, it all depends on your cooking style. Some are safety features like a locking function, useful if you have small children so they cannot open the oven.
The largest influence will more than likely be the price, always something useful to take into consideration when purchasing a new oven.


When Buying a Kitchen

When Buying a Kitchen - Adam


You could be amazed at how many different places there is to look for kitchens. The net and the nearest shops are the ideal places. Perhaps look on the net to get a couple idea of which type of kitchens you want first. Note down some prices you see online. You should want to make a note of the company as well.. If this can't help you get a good deal then it may be time to look somewhere else. If the shop imagine you are going they will very soon give you a price reduction. They really should anyway. A lot of the designer kitchens can be costly so you will need to really know what you are going to end up with. Also you should know what you can afford.

People should be stunned at how much the price will vary. This might change a great deal from continent to continent. If you opt for the budget makes you will no doubt ascertain that they come from China. It's been this way for ten years now.

If you have a friend who has just bought anything alike then speak to them quickly. It is too late after you have bought. Steer clear of pushy salesman for the moment. Or altogether to be frank. If they are attempting to get rid of some old stock they might assure you it's the latest style. You will clearly see it is not. You must keep every option open.

The style to buy will be rather clear after all this questions. You might even be an expert in the field. You must not hasten in and buy quite yet. It is much too late to have afterthoughts after you have bought your kitchens. A well prepared sales person in marketing a kitchens will not push you too hard. They may miss out on the deal if they do. If you've got on very well with a nice salesman you will wish to put your purchase their way. It may help you to save money. Being on good terms with someone may influence their discount.

You should feel happy with the prospective deal on offer to you. Before you sign up it might be an idea taking the quote to other showrooms and receiving a like for like quote. You will then know if it's a good price. They might even want to put you in liaison with previous customers. You should be worried if they cannot. All good stores should have at least one client they can ask to speak to you. Money is tight at the moment and you don't wish to squander it. You might rue it if you do.
