Built in Single Ovens

Built in Single Ovens

A built in single oven fits a standard 60cm housing, so the aperture height and width decide what will physically go in before anything else is considered. Beyond fit, three features separate the range. Fan or multifunction: a plain fan oven circulates heat evenly on every shelf, while a multifunction oven adds grill, base heat and conventional modes for baking and roasting differently. Cleaning: a pyrolytic oven heats its own cavity to a temperature that turns residue to ash, which removes the worst job in the kitchen and is the single feature most worth paying for; catalytic and enamel linings are the simpler alternative. Extras that now appear at mid-range include steam functions for bread and vegetables, air fry modes that replace a separate appliance, dual cook zones that divide the cavity in two, and WiFi control. Capacity around 70 to 76 litres is the usual figure and is worth comparing rather than assuming.

The range covers the appliance names fitted in Irish kitchens, with Bosch across Series 2 and Series 4 single ovens, Samsung on Series 4 with Dual Cook, Electrolux including AirFry pyrolytic, Hisense on the Hi6 BlackLine pyrolytic steam smart oven, and Blomberg, Belling, Candy, Beko and Hoover through the rest of the range.
