The place of cooking has long been consideredsacred, the oven was the center of the dwelling, it gave warmth, nourished, collected the family around itself. The burning hearth still remains a symbol of well-being and abundance in the house, and the kitchen is a special place where you can sit over a cup of tea, chat, relax and-where without it-it's delicious to eat.
A modern analogue of a furnace - an oven - a thingirreplaceable: in it you can cook a wide variety and healthy dishes. If not so long ago the oven was considered an integral part of the oven, today it can also become a separate household device: it is not difficult to integrate an oven that fits into the kitchen interior.
Выбор духовок так же обширен, как и functional variations of these kitchen devices. They differ in the type of heating - electric and gas. Management - mechanical, sensory and mixed. By energy consumption - "A", "B" "C", in size - small and multi-tiered. By modes, including additional - grill, convection, and even by the method of cleaning internal surfaces. On the market are autonomous and complex ovens, characterized by the presence or absence of communication with the cooking surface. Especially convenient for housewives to build in the oven. The size of the oven width is selected to the size of kitchen furniture.
Below will be considered some of these varieties.
Here everyone chooses for himself:a gas oven will help save money, while an electric variety will provide functional diversity. The second type has one more important plus - the uniformity of heating: even in some gas devices for this purpose, the manufacturer builds a heating gadget that is powered by electricity.
In both variations there are pros and cons, so when choosing a lot depends on the wishes of the buyer to the functionality of the oven, dimensions, design and other characteristics.
The design of kitchen appliances is important and depends on the furniture already in the kitchen, the floor space, the color scheme of the interior, and the preferences of the buyer.
The most versatile for kitchen equipment tone stainless steel. "Metallic" is neutral in color and combines well with almost all shades of furniture and other kitchen utensils.
If built-in appliances are provided in the kitchen, the width of the furniture should be appropriately sized; a suitable niche should be taken under the built-in oven.
Времена просторных светлиц и горниц канули в Fly, so that the kitchen area becomes decisive when choosing furniture and household appliances. Since the depth and height of various models of ovens varies slightly, the dimensions of the oven, built into the interior of a modern kitchen, must be compared with the width of kitchen furniture. So you need to think in advance about the place where you plan to mount the oven.
The standard dimensions of built-in ovens are on average 60 cm for all three parameters of the device, and such dimensions are quite sufficient to prepare dinner for an ordinary family.
The volume of the chambers in the ovens varies from 20 to 160 liters: ovens of small size are good in everyday life, while more massive models are more often used in the catering industry.
The temperature mode is selected depending onrecipe and cooking technology, with the most commonly used value from 200 to 250 ° C; Some models of built-in ovens can heat up to 500 degrees.
В компактных современных кухнях при вынужденной saving space is especially important is the built-in oven. The dimensions of embedding, of course, are tied to the dimensions of the main furniture, and in such conditions the parameter of “dependence” or “independence” of the oven is decisive.
Autonomous oven is not connected to the hobsurface control panel, and therefore can be installed in any suitable sector of the kitchen, creating some "freedom of maneuver" for convenient placement of furniture.
Let's say you decide to build an oven.The size of future costs is not only the cost of equipment and installation, but also includes operating costs, including energy costs.
Gas ovens in this regard are more economical;however, among electric ovens, there are various energy-consuming options: they are marked with letters. The economy class is marked with the letter “A”, the most energy-consuming models - with the letter “C”, the averaged variant - “B”. This labeling should also be taken into account when choosing an oven, in order not to receive dimensionless bills from energy companies.
The greatest energy consumption comes from additional functions and capabilities of the oven; the dimensions of the oven built in your kitchen themselves have little effect on energy consumption.
In continuation of the topic of saving, let’s talk about how to control ovens. Household appliance manufacturers provide for this one of three possible types: mechanical, sensory and mixed.
The simplest, but most energy-intensive, is mechanical control; its minus is also in the absence of a number of additional control options.
Sensory way, as the name implies,allows you to control the oven with one touch. In addition, it contributes to the precise choice of temperature and energy savings. A mixed form of control consists of a combination of the above two formats.
Thus, when selecting a built-in oven, it is desirable to take into account this important service characteristic of the product.
Not all gas cabinets are equipped with upperheating element - grill. Often, manufacturers in gas ovens provide electric grill, so it is necessary to equip the oven connection to the outlet. Some gas models provide a number of additional functions, also powered by electricity: gas control, spit, ignition and others.
Gas heating source is stillmore economical, but it does not provide the variety of possibilities, like electric built-in ovens. The sizes of these two varieties on average practically do not differ, but electric ovens provide their owners with additional services for cooking and make the cooking process itself easier and more enjoyable.
One of the main advantages of electric models isthat the temperature can be set to within a few degrees, and then its level is maintained throughout the entire cooking process. In addition, the dish is heated from all sides, which allows baking the food more carefully, evenly and quickly.
In addition to the two heating elements - on top andBottom - in the electric oven there is a convection mode, thanks to which food is browned uniformly from all sides. There are also devices for maintaining uniform temperature in the oven chamber.
A large variety of temperature regimes - from30 to 300 ° C - makes it possible to prepare dishes with which the gas equivalent cannot cope, which makes electric ovens even more attractive. Their built-in dimensions also depend on the number of ovens in the model: thus, there are variations with an additional oven, which allows cooking several dishes in parallel.
The downside of the electric oven is energy consumption; however, if you do not use it regularly, then this will not affect the bills for electricity.
Utility and functionality of ovensis obvious, while avoiding overloading the kitchen interior with excessive dimensions and compactly positioning everything you need will help household appliances in furniture niches and openings. It remains to build in the oven, the size of which can be chosen independently, and to cook delicious and healthy dishes for your pleasure.
