If you choose a stove with an oven or a separate oven, a separate hob, many housewives will put the question of utmost importance on the first place. Namely: will convection in the oven cope with the delicate process of baking a variety of yummy? It should be noted that modern stoves are equipped with as many functions as possible, and the circulation of hot air in the oven belongs to the category of necessary ones.
Typically, the hot air circulation mode provides a forced and even distribution of heat inside the oven, for this a special system fan is installed, and the problem is mostly eliminated. The main problem that convection solves in the oven is the uneven heating of the dish that is being cooked in it. A striking sign of the urgent need for air circulation is a sign familiar to many housewives: a charred bottom of the pie and a pale unbaked top. No less offensive if one side of the pie or casserole burned.
When buying kitchen appliances, many are faced with the need to make a choice between different cooking methods. What to buy: a gas stove with an appropriate oven, or a separate hob, a separate oven, because in this case you can combine the most attractive technologies? If you plan to purchase a built-in appliance such as a convection oven, you usually have in mind the electric model. The fact is that the specificity of a gas furnace lies precisely in the use of an open flame, and the circulation fan will blow out the fire. That is why only relatively recently it became possible to buy a gas oven with convection; a fundamentally new approach to the design now allows the use of hot air circulation without the danger of extinguishing the flame.
Many culinary fans claim that it is not always possible to use the oven exactly the way you want. Of course, the “grill” function, as well as the manual switching of the upper and lower heating elements, helps to some extent control the heating procedure, but baking on two baking sheets at once fails. Many housewives know that convection in the oven creates just such a temperature regime that cannot be achieved in any other way. For example, not every dish can be prepared by opening the oven door in the middle of the process: a delicate souffle will surely fall off, a number of delicate biscuits cannot stand even loud voices. Therefore, the old way of saving baking, when the baking sheets are swapped or rotated, is not good here. Such a function as convection in the oven is designed to create absolutely uniform heating of food from all sides. At the same time, the phenomenon in which the cake burns from one side and remains pale from the other is absolutely impossible.
Electric and gas ovens with convection are in different price categories, this is due to the complexity of the design of internal fans in the gas stove. However, it is electric ovens with convection function that can be considered the most successful. It is easier to cook in them, the dishes are invariably successful, and thanks to thermostats there is a great opportunity to control the temperature regime.
If you hear a rhythmic knock when you turn on convection, this means that there are likely to be some problems with the fan that circulates the hot air. It is best to contact the master at the first suspicion of a malfunction that has begun, since high temperatures usually contribute to a quick aggravation of problems, and repairs can be more expensive.
