Pros and cons: studying and choosing a built-in gas oven for the kitchen

Types of gas built-in ovens

The very name of this household appliance contains two parameters that determine the type of installation of such devices - built-in and the type of fuel used - gas. In addition, built-in gas ovens can be classified according to types, which determine the design features of a particular model:

• by geometric dimensions: narrow, wide and standard;
• according to the control method in relation to the hob: dependent and independent.

Independent gas ovens require placement in any accessible and possible installation location that does not contradict safety regulations. The operation of ovens in this group is controlled directly on their outer panel.

Dependent models are installed under the hob, and both pieces of gas equipment are controlled on a common control panel. In our country, the most widespread models are the standard and narrow type, their width is 600 and 450 mm, respectively, while the depth of built-in ovens is 550 mm and the height is 600 or 450 mm. Wide models have sizes of 700, 900 and 1200 mm. Some manufacturers produce ovens with widths that differ from the standard one, which should be taken into account when choosing a specific product.

Which gas oven is best to buy?

In order for the purchase to leave a pleasant impression, you need to take into account several criteria when purchasing. First, they decide which model to purchase: a dependent oven with a hob, or an independent built-in appliance. The advantage of the latter is free placement in the kitchen space.

The first and main requirement for a gas oven is safety. To avoid accidents, it is recommended to purchase models with gas control and emergency shutdown functions. The first option allows you to automatically turn off the gas supply if there is no flame. The second will turn off the device if the temperature rises to the maximum level, or the oven operates for a long time. If there are small children in the family, it is better to choose an oven with a protective door lock option.

When purchasing, many criteria are taken into account: price, dimensions and functionality of the device, appearance, power. It is advisable to find out about the warranty period and the availability of service centers in your place of residence before paying for the goods.

Advantages and disadvantages of certain types of gas cabinets

If we consider gas built-in ovens of various sizes, then, of course, the smaller the internal usable volume, the less productive the device. And larger models allow you to cook several dishes at the same time or one, but larger. When comparing design features, it can be noted that independent models have a number of advantages over dependent ones:

• the possibility of placement in any chosen place of the kitchen space or any other room;
• Possibility of use in rooms where there is no hob.

Among the disadvantages of independent ovens, it should be noted that they cost more than their dependent type analogues.

Which oven is better - gas or electric, comparison of pros and cons

Comparison of ovens by type of fuel used is relevant for those users who have the opportunity to connect one or another model, which is determined by their place of residence (region) and the rules for using gas equipment (number of floors of the building, type of gas, etc.).

The advantages of gas ovens include the following indicators:

• efficiency due to the cost of gas, which is cheaper than electricity;
• there is no need to lay special networks required when using electric ovens;
• simplicity of design, simplifying use and maintenance;
• work management does not require special skills, because it is similar to working with a gas hob, free-standing stove or camp burner;
• the cost of gas models is usually lower than that of their electric counterparts.

A gas oven can be used if there is an electric hob in the kitchen

The disadvantages of gas ovens include:

• are a more dangerous technical object than electrical ones, because if there is a gas leak, catastrophic consequences can occur;
• less functionality and equipment than electrical analogues;
• The temperature and heating rate of the working chamber are higher for electric models.

The advantages of electric models include the fact that they can be used in places where there are no gas supply networks and it is impossible to purchase gas in cylinders. The choice of a specific type of oven is always up to the user, and a variety of models and designs allow you to make it correctly.

How to choose an oven: we help you decide on the criteria

We recently looked at the question “How to choose a hob for your home.” However, a household hob is usually paired with an oven (of course, if the user has not made a radical decision to abandon the oven altogether). There are several main reasons why someone might choose a separate oven over a combination solution (freestanding stove): the ability to integrate the cabinet into a kitchen unit, the ability to choose the most suitable surface/cabinet pair that best suits the needs of the cook, and finally, the ability to choose a suitable design. How to choose an oven and what features of this household appliance should you pay attention to first? Let's figure it out.

Gas or electricity

As with the hob, the first thing you need to decide on is the type of oven. Namely: will it run on gas or electricity. It must be said that the choice in this case is not as obvious as in the case of a hob. A gas oven will most likely cost less to purchase and will almost certainly cost less to operate, but many prefer to opt for an electric oven, even if there is a gas pipeline in the apartment.

The fact is that electric ovens have expanded functionality compared to gas ovens. Thus, electric heating allows you to more accurately control the cooking temperature (a gas oven, for example, will not allow you to maintain a low temperature for a long time). Also, some believe that cooking without using an open flame will be safer from a fire safety point of view.

Finally, electric ovens have a reputation for being more predictable and beginner-friendly. Roughly speaking, if you are planning to learn to cook in an oven, then an electric one will allow you to focus all your efforts on the result, but a gas one will simultaneously teach you its own unique character.

However, even if you choose a gas oven, this does not mean that you will not need to supply electricity to it: a modern gas oven often has built-in lighting, an electric grill or a convection fan. All this will require certain energy costs.

It is also worth mentioning that most electric ovens are powerful electrical appliances, consuming between 2.5 and 4.0 kW. To connect them, a separate power supply line with mandatory grounding is required.

Oven dimensions

After choosing the type of oven, you should decide on its dimensions. The standard size for a modern kitchen is a width of 60 centimeters and a depth that allows you to place the oven under a standard countertop (that is, up to 60 centimeters). Those who want to save space in the kitchen can opt for compact or narrow ovens. Compact ovens are distinguished by a reduced height (40-45 cm versus 55-60 for standard ones), and narrow ones will fit into 45 centimeters instead of the standard 60.

The Electrolux 800 series compact oven is 45 centimeters wide

If you have free space, you can take a closer look at models whose dimensions will be larger than standard ones. The width of a home oven can reach up to 90 centimeters, which will significantly increase the volume of the chamber, and therefore cook more food at a time. There are also ovens with increased height (90 cm or even more). Such appliances are usually a double oven with one full-size and one smaller chamber.

One of the key parameters directly related to the volume of the oven is the volume of the working chamber. The volume of the working chamber of a narrow oven will be about 37-45 liters, and a full-size oven will be about 55-68 liters. Increasing the volume of the chamber will not only allow you to cook more food, but also opens up access to new culinary achievements (for example, in a large oven you can try baking large pieces of meat such as a leg of lamb).

The Korting OKB 10809 CRI oven with a width of 90 centimeters has a volume of 110 liters

And vice versa: if you cook in the oven infrequently and little, then you are unlikely to need a large oven. By saving 15 centimeters in a small kitchen, you can afford to install other, more necessary equipment.

Dependent and independent ovens

Ovens can be “dependent” or “independent” of the hob. Independent ones are completely independent devices. Dependent - have a common control panel, which is usually located on the front panel of the oven. Dependent devices are made in a single design and will cost the buyer less than independent ones. However, here you need to remember that a breakdown in the control system will damage both the oven and the hob at the same time.

Dependent ovens, for example Bosch HEF 514 BS 0R, allow you to control not only the oven, but also the hob

Control

Modern ovens have several types of switches: rotary, recessed, touch and push-button. Rotary switches are conventional (mechanical) rotary knobs. Recessed - allow you to “hide” them in the control panel. Touch and push-button switches are used in the electronic control system.

Mechanical control - standard for gas ovens (for example, Ricci RGO-640IX)

An electromechanical control system (conventional mechanical handles), as a rule, can be found in budget models. By turning several knobs you can quickly and easily select the cooking temperature, the desired mode and set the timer (it can also be mechanical - with a ticking mechanism and a bell). However, such a control system can also be found in fairly advanced models equipped with a convection system and a grill.

Ovens with electronic control are not only easy to use, but also stylish (Electrolux EOB 8851 AAX)

As for electronic control, such ovens have mechanical or touch buttons and a set of display and/or LEDs that display the selected mode. The display itself can also be touch sensitive. Thanks to the electronic control system, the user has access to more subtle settings: electronic control will allow for the implementation of various automatic cooking cycles, will allow more precise control of the temperature inside the working chamber, etc. It is worth mentioning the most modern ovens, the developers of which do not stop there and continue experiment with high technology. Such ovens, for example, may have a built-in camera that allows you to broadcast a “picture from the oven” to a computer or mobile phone. Some went even further and built in a real monitor instead of a viewing glass. Such ovens can be controlled remotely (via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection), and the screen can, for example, display tips regarding the cooking process or video recipes. It is clear that such ovens are not yet very common, and in general it is not very clear which of the innovative functions will be in demand and which ones will die out as unnecessary.

Functions and additional features

The simplest gas oven has only a heating element (burner) located at the bottom of the appliance. Budget electric - top, bottom, combined (top + bottom) heating and grill mode.

Additional features and functions give the chef access to new recipes and cooking modes, but they can significantly increase the cost of the device. Let's see what additional modes and capabilities can be found in ovens and what they allow you to cook.

The most popular is the convection mode (mixing air inside the chamber), which is carried out using a built-in fan. Electric ovens may have an additional heating element next to the fan. Stirring hot air allows you to bake food evenly on all sides, and if you turn on the fan without heating, this mode is useful for carefully defrosting food.

The grill mode is ideal for roasting small, tender pieces of meat on the top shelf of the oven. When working with a grill, a rotating spit is often used. So if you like chicken on a spit and other similar dishes, you should pay attention to models that have a special motor for rotating the spit. However, since convection is now firmly established even in models in the mid-price range, and in terms of functionality it partially overlaps with the spit, many manufacturers have now abandoned the spit altogether.

The presence of movable telescopic guides for baking sheets allows you to pull the baking sheet out of the oven. In this case, you should pay attention to how far it can be extended. Most ovens allow you to pull the tray out of the oven about 2/3, but there are also models that allow you to pull it out completely - this, of course, is more convenient.

Having a probe thermometer is useful for those who often cook meat or poultry in large pieces. With its help, you can monitor the temperature inside the product and the degree of its readiness. The most advanced models will even automatically turn off the heating at the right moment, so as not to dry out or overcook the meat.

Some oven models can double as a microwave oven. Although such a solution will significantly affect the cost of the device, it will save space in the kitchen in the future. Moreover: this microwave oven can be used in combination mode for faster cooking of the product.

The most modern ovens allow the product to be steamed during the cooking process. In simple models, a special container with water that evaporates during the cooking process is used for this. More advanced devices will inject hot steam at the right moment (in accordance with the rules of the established program). Steaming during cooking can improve the final result, make the dish tastier, juicier, etc. You can find ovens on sale whose steam generator design allows them to be used as classic built-in steamers. Such models usually belong to the premium class, which affects the price.

Built-in programs can greatly simplify the life of a less experienced chef. To prepare simple dishes in such ovens, it may be enough to select only the type of product (meat/fish/poultry, etc.) and the desired result, after which the device will automatically select the desired temperature mode and select the desired cooking time. Well, if the oven allows you to save your own “recipes” in memory or allows you to update recipes via the Internet, that will be absolutely wonderful.

Finally, it makes sense to mention another new product - an oven with a divider that allows you to turn one working chamber into two, which makes it possible to cook two different dishes at the same time - each with its own temperature regime. Two mini ovens instead of one big one - isn't that great? And if there is little food, you can use only half of a large oven.

Modern Samsung ovens allow you to cook two dishes at the same time - each at its own temperature

It is worth noting that all these innovative features can only be found in electric ovens. Gas appliances will be significantly poorer in functionality: they can have a convection fan, a rotating spit, an upper grill (gas or electric)… that’s probably all.

Self-cleaning function

The issue of oven care is one of the most pressing for those who plan to cook a lot and often, but it is often forgotten about at the stage of choosing an appliance. Today, there are several different cleaning methods - pyrolytic, catalytic and steam (hydrolysis). The simplest (steam) system is suitable for those who do not use the oven very often (once a week or less). The catalytic cleaning system is suitable for “average” users, but those who plan to cook a lot and often should pay attention to cleaning using pyrolysis.

Let's briefly talk about each of these systems. Pyrolytic self-cleaning involves high heating of the oven (up to temperatures of about 500 °C). Splashes of grease and other contaminants during such cleaning turn into ash, which can simply be removed with a damp cloth. All kinds of guides and the door will have to be cleaned manually. During the pyrolytic cleaning process, significant heating of not only the oven itself, but also the air in the room is inevitable. It may also be accompanied by an unpleasant odor. The whole process usually takes 1.5-2.5 hours.

The result of pyrolytic cleaning in the Gorenje+ oven

Catalytic self-cleaning means that the side walls of the ovens are covered with a special enamel, which absorbs and breaks down fat deposits directly during baking of dishes at temperatures from 140 degrees. The bottom and door of such an oven will have to be washed the old fashioned way, and the special coating will wear out over time and may require replacement after several years of active use of the appliance.

The simplest steam cleaning (hydrolysis) does not remove, but only weakens, deposits of grease, carbon deposits and the appearance of dirt stains. To clean your oven this way, you simply fill a baking tray with water and run an automatic one-hour cycle that heats the oven to 70-90°C. Once the cycle is complete, all you have to do is try to remove the stains by hand. This cleaning method, as you might guess, will be the cheapest, but users have very controversial opinions about its effectiveness.

Steam cleaning, like the Samsung FQ115T002, is the easiest option available

When talking about oven care, it wouldn’t hurt to remember how to secure the door. Since the door will have to be washed manually not only from the inside, but also from the outside, it is worth asking in advance whether it can be removed and washed in more suitable conditions (for example, in a bathtub under running water). We also advise you to pay attention to the number of glasses: the more there are in the door, the better the thermal insulation will be. Today on sale you can find models with the number of glasses from 2 to 4.

Upgrade

Unlike hobs, ovens allow for fairly wide modification options after purchase. For example, telescopic retractable holders for baking sheets can often be purchased and installed later, separately. The same goes for other accessories - all kinds of pizza stones, catalytic panels, additional baking trays of various types, etc. It is especially useful to remember about the possibility of a subsequent upgrade in cases where the budget is limited, but because of this you do not want to buy an oven of a lower class.

Operational safety

Finally, when talking about ovens, we must not forget about safety rules: after all, the temperatures inside the oven can reach quite high values, and there may be children and elderly people in the house.

A modern oven must have an automatic shut-off when it overheats. To protect against children, you should inquire about the presence of a control lock system. Many ovens use a cooling system that removes excess heat from the cavities (body) of the oven using a fan.

As for electrical appliances, the requirements are standard: the presence of grounding and a “neutral” wire in the apartment.

And, of course, you should not neglect the rules for installing the oven: after all, not only the efficiency of its operation, but also fire safety depends on this. This especially applies to instructions regarding the minimum distance to walls and other household appliances.

Conclusion

Let us list once again the steps to be taken when choosing an oven:

• The easiest thing is to decide whether you need a gas or electric oven. Gas is traditionally used where there is a central gas supply (usually in city apartments), or where gas is supposed to be used in cylinders (usually in country houses). However, electric ovens often provide more options regarding the use of special, precisely adjusted cooking modes, so the presence of gas is not a clear-cut argument when choosing.
• If you choose an electric oven and you are not afraid of experiments, you can take a closer look at ovens combined with a microwave oven. This will save you from another rather large “box” in the kitchen.
• It will be easiest to decide on the dimensions: as a rule, the choice is made on standard models with a width of 60 centimeters. Other options are used only when there is a lack of free space or, conversely, when there is an excess of it and there are special requests for the number of burners and oven performance.
• Dependent ovens with a single control system are purchased only complete with a corresponding hob. In all other cases, preference is given to independent solutions.
• The accuracy of oven control depends on the choice of control type (mechanical or electronic). Complex functions will typically require an electronic control system.
• Additional features such as a grill or temperature control function open up additional possibilities when it comes to preparing different dishes. Therefore, it is better to think in advance about what you are going to cook in the oven and what functions it may require.
• The self-cleaning system determines how labor-intensive it will be to maintain the oven. At the same time, more modern and convenient solutions will predictably cost more than outdated or simpler ones.

Main technical characteristics of gas ovens

Any technical means and device are characterized by certain technical characteristics that determine the scope of its use and purpose. It is the technical characteristics that are the main criteria when choosing a specific device model.

A variety of colors and design of the outer panel allow you to choose built-in appliances that suit any style of kitchen space design

For gas ovens these are:

• Size and volume - determine the location in the kitchen, as well as culinary capabilities, speed and volume of prepared dishes.
• Design and color - these indicators characterize the oven’s ability to fit into the interior of the room where it is located.
• Power - this indicator is important for models equipped with an electric grill; it does not affect the performance of gas equipment.
• Control type - determines ease of use, as well as accuracy when adjusting the temperature in the working chamber.
• The presence of a convection function increases the cooking possibilities.
• The presence of a self-cleaning function facilitates maintenance and is ensured by the presence of catalytic panels placed on the inner surface of the working chamber or hydrolysis cleaning system.

The presence of a convection function allows you to cook several dishes at the same time

The best budget gas ovens

Dishes prepared in the oven are distinguished not only by their exquisite taste, but also by their usefulness. Inexpensive models are characterized by reliable assembly (well-known brands do not skimp on quality), good functionality - 4-5 heating modes. There is control of gas flow to the burner. Standard oven volume is 50-60 liters. The minimum configuration includes a wire rack and 2 baking trays of different depths. Electric ignition allows you to safely create a spark with the turn of a knob.

How to choose a built-in gas oven - expert advice

The household appliances market offers a wide range of built-in gas ovens, differing in technical characteristics and capabilities, so you should be very careful when choosing a specific model. Your choice can be helped by reviews from experienced users, recommendations from sales consultants, as well as advice from our editorial experts, which can be formulated as follows:

• Before choosing a specific model, you need to decide on its location, which will help you choose the size of the device.
• In addition, you should make a list of technical characteristics and additional options, the presence of which is necessary for operation in the intended modes of use (cooking, automation systems, cleaning, etc.).
• The choice of color and type of outer panel must be entrusted to the designer who designed the premises, or independently, taking into account the existing style at the location of the oven.

The built-in gas oven “Kaiser EG 6370” is easy to use and maintain.

• Having chosen the technical characteristics and decided on the design style, it is necessary to choose the equipment manufacturer, focusing on its reliability and the ability to carry out maintenance and warranty repairs in the region of residence of the potential user.
• Cost is the indicator that ultimately determines when choosing a specific model, so before purchasing you should study the market for these products, both in retail chains and on online resources.

Types of installation of gas ovens

As we have already said, gas ovens are divided according to the type of installation into built-in and free-standing. The way the unit is positioned is of fundamental importance if there is no free space in the kitchen or you plan to “adjust” the equipment to the furniture. To make the right choice, it is worth considering the parameters of the room, as well as the features of its interior.

Built-in gas oven

This is the best choice for a small kitchen. It can be placed directly in the closet, saving space. It is very important that the built-in oven not only has optimal dimensions, but also fits harmoniously into the overall style of the room. Every detail matters - the control panel, the material and color of the facade, the shape of the handles, the presence of lighting. If the interior is made in a minimalist style, it is worth considering stainless steel appliances. There are models on the market with titanium coating, they do not scratch or corrode, and they also do not leave fingerprints.

For retro-style kitchens, the cold shine of metal is not the best solution. In order not to disturb the stylistic unity, it is worth looking for a model with a different finishing option (old stone, copper, ivory, cinnamon, black or beige granite). Some brands even offer yellow, green or blue ovens. But before you make a choice in favor of an extravagant solution, think carefully about whether you will get tired of the bright shade after a couple of months.

Freestanding gas oven

The “solo” technique is more versatile - it can be placed in any part of the kitchen. According to experts, it is better to install a free-standing gas cabinet on a stand. So that the glass door is at eye level. This arrangement of equipment will allow the housewife not to bend over every time she needs to check the readiness of the dish. “Separate” models, like built-in ones, must be installed in close proximity to the gas pipeline so that it is convenient to route the gas hose.

Some units are equipped with an electric ignition system, so they should be placed close to an outlet. It is important that the cable connected to the electrical network does not heat up during cooking. Before using the oven as usual, you need to check that the hose is securely connected to the gas line. This can be done using a liquid solution (if bubbles appear when gas is supplied, the connection is unreliable).
