Oven Cooktop Combination

Oven cooktop combinations make a great addition to a kitchen, positioned extremely neat and tidy in their separate compartments.

Although it runs from one source of power, this kitchen appliance comes in two individual pieces; the cooktop and the oven. The controls for the cooktop and oven are easy to operate, placed within reach at the top of the oven.

When fixing them into your kitchen, both pieces need to be placed into the compartments together. For example, the oven should be integrated in the niche and cooktop in the space available on the bench above.

Why choose an oven and cooktop combination?

So, what do oven cooktop combinations offer? Well first of all, the price! This combination is a great package at even better prices. People love this oven cooktop combination because of the way it is put together at reasonable prices.

These products are perfect when the topic of power is placed into the equation. Because you are not running the cooktop and the oven off two separate power connections, it is easier to wire in directly instead of numerous amounts of cords leading to the power box. Therefore, this saves on overall costs when it comes to inserting and wiring two separate connections for each appliance - something you don't have to do when purchasing an oven cooktop combination.

Another reason as to why these appliances are so popular is because of the ease of cleaning the cooktop. Because the dials are on the oven, all of the grim and food are not in awkward positions to remove and it just takes a wipe down with a cloth and it's clean!

Capacity

When choosing an oven cooktop combination, ask yourself how much cooking you do, is this more for entertainment purposes or are you one with a larger family.

If replacing an old combination appliance with a new model not all the sizes are the same as your old model's width may have changed over the years. If you are renovating then you have a lot more choices available to you.

Remember, always measure twice when recording the dimensions for where the appliance is going to be placed.

Features

Most oven cooktop combinations share similar features with each other. Look around to find the right features for your cooking.

Here is a list of some features that might be what you're looking for:

Litres: This measurement is the capacity or volume of the oven in litres.

Catalytic liners: This is another self-cleaning feature. However, the grime is collected only on the liners and can be burnt off by placing the oven at a heat of 200 degrees. The liners will either need to be replaced or turned over. This does not mean that the door and shelves don't need to be wiped down.

Telescopic shelf holders: Provides extra support for oven shelves to slide out of the oven.

Grill: Our locally made stoves are designed with a separate grill compartment. Stoves from overseas will have an internal grill some of these models are what is called multi-functional ovens. This allows you to bake & grill at the same time.

Oven doors: Thanks to updating advances with ovens, we now don't have to worry about burning out fingers on the oven doors. Generally, an oven door with three layers of glass will be cooler to the touch than a door with two glass layers.

Some manufacturers are supplying models with 4 layers of glass for greater cooling exterior doors. This is great when placing under bench where children are concerned. Be sure to test the door to see how smoothly it opens and closes, halts when you leave it and comes out in the correct direction for you and your kitchen.

Here are a few other features to consider when shopping for the right oven:

  • Electronic temperature controls
  • Programmable timing options
  • Convection ovens cook about 30% faster than conventional ovens. Fans in the oven circulate the heat around foods to cook them faster.
  • Simmer burners provide low, gradual heat when required for a variety of cooking needs such as preparing soups and sauces.
  • High-heat burners instantly provide cooking heat, allowing you to quickly boil or sear foods as required, dramatically cutting down on cooking time.
  • Dual element burners feature an inner ring for smaller pans and a large outer ring for larger pots and pans. A flick of the switch turns on the preferred size.
  • Hot surface indicator lights.
  • Buy wisely and make sure you purchase the correct stove to suit your cooking style and needs.
