And thanks to the capabilities of modern ovens, baking several dishes at the same time is no longer a problem.

Also, modern models with an extensive number of functions will replace both the grill and microwave, while significantly saving space in the kitchen. Users who bought such an oven do not regret the money spent.

There are many models of electric ovens on the market that are in some cases even better than gas ovens. But the more offers, the more difficult it is to make the right choice. We present the rating of the best electric ovens of 2019.

Criterias of choice

To choose the right oven among the best, you need to pay attention to the main criteria. This will help you choose exactly the oven that suits you, and not overpay for the extra functions for you. So, the main selection criteria:

• power;
• dimensions;
• heating modes (which and their quantity);
• additional functions;
• self-cleaning.

Now more about each of them.

Power

Maximum - 4 kW. The only catch is that high power requires good and new wiring. That is, in an old house without major repairs to install this is not worth it. High power has its advantages - fast heating, minimum cooking speed. The best option is energy-efficient ovens of class A and higher. These devices consume relatively little electricity, while maintaining maximum functionality.

Dimensions

Here, in general, everything is simple and clear. It all depends on the size of your kitchen and the place that you are willing to set aside for the oven. There are many sizes on sale - from compact ovens (45 cm) to bulky models for a large family. Smaller ovens are usually more expensive than average, but at the same time they significantly save space and have additional functions.

Heating modes

A device may have many heating modes. To select the necessary ones and not to pay for the extra ones, you need to understand them a little. So, the main heating modes:

• convection - a well-thought-out ventilation system that ensures uniform baking of the dish. This happens due to the uniform distribution of the heated air inside the oven;
• 3D heating - for the correct heat distribution, a fan and a special heater are used on the back of the oven. There are more modern models with 4D heating. Thanks to him, you can cook 4 - 5 different dishes at the same time at different levels. In this case, there will be no mixing of smells;
• grill - there are large and small. You can choose the size from the size of your usual portion;
• additional modes - defrosting, drying, maintaining heat, heating dishes and other useful functions for comfort.

Additional accessories

Pleasant extras include:

• Microwave;
• telescopic guides;
• thermal probe;
• readiness probe;
• steam function.

Here you need to choose as necessary, because if the function is not used by you, then it will be just wasted money for unnecessary buttons.

Self cleaning function

There are three methods of self-cleaning the oven:

• pyrolytic. In this mode, the oven heats up to 500 degrees and all food residue and contamination simply burn out. It remains only to remove the ashes with a soft brush;
• catalytic. With this cleaning method, fat enters a special surface, splits into water and carbon. The soot remaining after this process is easily cleaned with a rag;
• hydrolysis. With a smooth surface, this method helps to clean the oven of dirt. Hot steam perfectly softens food debris, but still have to wipe manually.
