Choosing Your 90cm Oven: A Guide to Big Bakes and Roasts

A 90cm oven gives you the freedom to cook whatever you want, whenever you want. Whether you're a passionate baker or the designated host for family gatherings, the right features will make your life much easier. Here’s what to look out for.

Capacity: How Much Space Do You Really Need?

You’ll find that most 90cm ovens offer a huge capacity, typically starting around 85 litres and going up to an incredible 149 litres. An oven like the highly-rated Bosch Series 6 VBD578FS0 provides a massive 112 litres of space, perfect for large families. If you do a lot of entertaining, the Haier HWO90S16TB3 goes even further with a 149-litre capacity, giving you all the room you could ever need for multi-course meals.

Key Features to Look For in a 90cm Oven

Pyrolytic Cleaning: The End of Scrubbing

Pyrolytic self-cleaning is one of our customers' favourite features. It cleans the oven by heating it to a very high temperature, turning grease and food spills into a fine ash that you can just wipe away. Models like the Fisher & Paykel OB90S9MEPB1, a customer favourite with a 5-star rating, make cleanup completely effortless.

Even Cooking Technology: No More Hot Spots

To make the most of that big cavity, you need technology that ensures everything cooks evenly, no matter which shelf it’s on. Look for features like Bosch’s ‘3D Hotair’ or Fisher & Paykel’s ‘AeroTech’ systems. These circulate hot air perfectly throughout the oven, so you get consistent, delicious results every single time, whether you're baking one tray of cookies or three.

Modern Cooking Functions: Beyond Fan-Forced

Today’s 90cm ovens come with a wide range of specialised functions. The Haier 90cm 500 Series oven includes an Air Fry mode for healthier crispy snacks and a Steam Assist function to help you bake bread with a perfect crust. Many ovens from brands like Artusi and Bosch also include a dedicated Pizza function, which gets the base crispy and the cheese perfectly melted.

Safety and Convenience Features
  • Telescopic Runners: These shelves slide out smoothly and safely, making it easy to check on or remove heavy trays without reaching into a hot oven. Many models, like the Euro OE90O9B1, include a set with the oven.
  • Cool-Touch Doors: Ovens with triple or even quadruple-glazed doors stay cooler on the outside during cooking. This is a great safety feature, especially for families with young children.
  • Soft-Close Doors: A premium touch found on models like the ILVE Professional Plus oven, a soft-closing door prevents slamming, adding a touch of quiet quality to your kitchen.

Finding the Right 90cm Cooktop: Gas, Induction, or Ceramic?

A 90cm cooktop gives you the elbow room to create amazing meals. While you can find induction and ceramic models, gas cooktops are incredibly popular in this size for their power and precise control.

Gas Cooktops: Power and Precision for the Passionate Cook

The All-Important Wok Burner

Nearly all 90cm gas cooktops feature a powerful wok burner. This high-intensity burner is perfect for getting a pan searingly hot for stir-frying, but it’s also great for boiling large pots of water quickly. The Westinghouse WHG958SC, with its powerful 19 MJ/h wok burner, is a top choice for home cooks, backed by a 4.6-star rating from over 200 reviews.

Surface Materials: Stainless Steel vs. Glass

You generally have two choices for the cooktop surface. A classic stainless steel finish, like on the Artusi AGH91XFFD, offers a durable, professional look that’s built to last. Alternatively, a tempered glass surface, like on the stylish Bosch PPM9A6I40A, provides a sleek, modern aesthetic and is incredibly easy to wipe clean after cooking.

Essential Safety: Flame Failure Devices

Every gas cooktop we sell comes with a flame failure safety device on each burner. This crucial feature automatically shuts off the gas supply if the flame is accidentally blown out, giving you complete peace of mind in the kitchen.

Do I need special cabinetry for a 90cm oven?

Yes, you'll need a dedicated 90cm-wide cavity in your kitchen cabinetry to fit one of these ovens. It’s always important to check the exact dimensions and installation requirements on the product page before you buy to ensure a perfect fit.

Are 90cm ovens more expensive to run?

Not necessarily. While they have a larger cavity to heat, modern 90cm ovens are designed with excellent insulation, like triple-glazed doors, and energy-efficient cooking modes. This helps them retain heat incredibly well, making their running costs quite reasonable.

Do I need a 90cm rangehood for a 90cm cooktop?

It’s highly recommended. A rangehood should be at least as wide as your cooktop to properly capture all the steam, smoke, and odours. Pairing a 90cm cooktop with a 90cm rangehood will give you the best performance and keep your kitchen air cleaner.

What does 'hardwired' mean for an oven?

‘Hardwired’ means the appliance needs to be permanently connected to your home’s electrical system by a licensed electrician. Unlike an appliance with a regular plug, you can't just plug it into a standard wall socket. This is a standard safety requirement for powerful appliances like 90cm ovens.

Can I convert a natural gas cooktop to LPG?

Many models can be converted for use with LPG bottled gas. Check the product specifications for an included ‘LPG conversion kit’, like the one that comes with many Artusi and Beko cooktops. This conversion must be completed by a licensed gas fitter during installation.
