New Oven

twerg_85

Hi all,
I'm gonna be buying a new oven soon. It'll be a built in electric oven (60cm wide).

What should I look out for and what do you get for spending more on an oven ?

I don't have space for a double oven. I love the idea of the Samsung flexi space ... two doors and a removable piece in the middle which allows you to use it as single large oven or two smaller ones. Haven't seen them in Ireland and can't afford it either though


Thanks,
F.

I have a Belling double oven at the moment and it's fine, but I'm definitely going to buy a Neff next time. Something I don't like about the Belling - you can't switch the fan off in the main oven, which I'd like to when I'm baking.
I wouldn't buy an oven without a timer - it's very handy to put a Sunday roast in, set the timer and go out for the afternoon.

Thanks. I've heard good things about Neff alright ... are they built better than the likes of Zanussi, or what makes them worth the extra few bob ?

I'm thinking of Pyrolitic cleaning (it burns everything to an ash and you wipe the ash off) ... anyone got this and does it work as advertised ?

Ta,

My parents have a self-cleaning one. It's handy enough, except it takes a couple of hours and sticks to high heaven.

I think Neff are top of the range and I love their new slide and hide doors, as seen on the Great British Bake Off
I've never had a self cleaning one but I'd love it.

I treated myself to a Neff single oven/grill last year with the slide and hide door and pyrolitic cleaning having coveted them on the GBBO. It was expensive but I was replacing the original cheap Beko oven that came with the house ten years previously and was on its last legs, so I had been saving for its successor for over a year.

The Neff oven is hands down the best thing I have ever put in the kitchen. I cook and bake a lot and I absolutely love it!

Top of the range Bosch pyrolitic self clean oven bought two years ago and it is fabulous fantastic piece of equipment loads of programmable functions and three levels of self clean from one and a half hours to two and a half I think.
