The Type of Oven you Need

Depending on what other things you want to do with your oven aside from baking, take into consideration these different types of ovens.

Conventional or All-Around Ovens

This is the most common type of oven installed at homes. For years, I have only known this type of oven. It is generally used for baking and grilling. Some types come with rotary grill or rotisserie. Conventional ovens don’t use fans.

Convection Oven

They are fan-assisted ovens. Fans are located usually at the back or at the sides. Convection ovens are mostly used for roasting that requires low temperature. Just take note, this is not the type of oven you would want to get if your main purpose is baking.

Rotary Ovens

If you are starting a bakery then go ahead and do a research on what this type of oven can do for you, otherwise, let’s put it aside.

Microwave Oven

This is ideal for heating, thawing or defrosting and melting. Not highly suggested for baking as metal baking pans are a no-no for microwaves and microwaves cook from the inside out. Although I have read stories that they were able to bake successfully in a microwave.

Multi-function Oven

New oven models nowadays are already equipped with different functions. My table top oven has convection and rotary grill function which you can just easily turn off when not needed. There are even 4-in-1 ovens that function as convection, rotary, microwave and conventional oven.

Ain’t that amazing? Well, it comes with a price though. The cheapest table-top multi-function oven I’ve seen here in Singapore costs no less than $700.00 or P22,000.00.

There you have it. Prepare your budget and make a choice.
