Had three fan ovens over the years, but never a double element electric oven. Fan ovens dry out your food over the advantage of using less electricity and quicker cooking times. After the element failed and left me with a half cooked chicken on a bank holiday Saturday night, I thought enough is enough.
These types may cost more to buy and run, but the food tastes better. I have moisture in my food once again. So what it takes longer and uses more power.
This oven only comes with one wire tray and a drip tray, which is brilliant as you get no mess on the bottom, which is a pig to clean once it gets burnt on. The drip dray will hold a pizza tray inside or two small rectangular trays side by side.
The knobs are solid and the door feels weighty and it’s all well put together. Comes with a plug, but the cord is short. I had a pre wired block, so just cut the plug and wired in and was ready to go in 10 minutes from unpackaging to running.
You need to have the oven on at 250 max for an hour and remember for normal cooking it’s the the double line symbol at about 7 o clock on the dial. The hour burns off any production coatings and may smell a little, but gets the oven ready.
You can buy another wire rack on amazon for £15 if required, but I place trays in the drip tray.
Nice manual timer function, no clock that flashes every time the power goes off and on and real easy to use.
If you want a good electric oven, this is for you. Ditch single element fans as they over cook and dry your food.
