Hotpoint Newstyle Electric Built In Double Oven - White

Product Information

Often the choice between gas or electric ovens is less of a choice and more of a requirement based on what connections you’ve already got in place. There are good and bad points to both, but ultimately electric is taking over. There are very few gas ovens available and there’s a general shift away from gas, which is only set to intensify over the coming years as we strive to meet climate change targets. Do I need a built-in or built-under double oven? The sleek, uncluttered design features touch controls, lessening the likelihood that you’ll accidentally adjust the oven as you brush past the worktop. Both ovens are fan-assisted, and with nine cooking functions to choose from in the main cavity and ten in the second cavity, it’s a multifunctional oven that will suit seasoned cooks. Built-under double ovens are designed to fit in beneath your kitchen work surface, so are better for kitchens with limited space. The individual ovens will typically be smaller than one single oven so you’ll get less cooking room in each oven. You may not be able to fit in something as large as a turkey in either, for example, so it's worth making sure that it will definitely be enough for you. There are fewer built-under models to choose from. How much does a good double oven cost?

Users like this oven, reporting that it heats up fast, cooks well and has plenty of features, but that it takes a little while to get to grips with the controls. This Bosch model has simple dial controls with all the settings displayed on the fascia, making it really intuitive to use without having to refer to the manual every five minutes. It’s popular among users for cooking evenly and being easy to use.More importantly, though, the main oven cavity is a whopping 75 litres and this doesn’t come at the expense of the second cavity, which is still a pretty standard 38 litres, so there’s plenty of available cooking space.

Full-height or full-sized double ovens are usually positioned at eye-level, so you can keep an eye on what’s cooking and get food in and out easier. They are large and will not fit under a kitchen counter, so you can only opt for one if you have the space for a full height column. Double ovens come in two sizes. Full height double ovens measure around 60cm wide and 90cm high and built-under double ovens measure around 60cm wide and 70cm high. Gas ovens aren’t typically feature-rich and this one is no exception: the top cavity houses a full-width electric grill and can be used as a conventional gas oven, while the lower cavity is just a conventional gas oven. This limited range of features means it’s super easy and intuitive to use, and you can rest assured that it will automatically cut off the gas supply if the flame goes out, a crucial safety feature.

When buying a double oven, consider whether you'd prefer a built-under or built-in model. There are nine cooking functions available in the main oven, and combined with the decent capacity, this will suit most of your home cooking needs. And novice cooks can take advantage of the automatic cooking programmes, which take the guesswork out of setting the cook time and temperature. Users love how evenly the oven cooks and grills as well as rating it highly for quality.

The main cavity is a fan oven, while the smaller cavity offers grill and conventional oven settings, so it’s got exactly what you need for day-to-day cooking. The EcoClean Direct oven liners absorb and dissolve grease and food splatters, so it should require minimal cleaning.Built-in ovens are usually installed at eye level, and this makes them very safe to use: there’s no unnecessary bending to retrieve hot food from the oven and it’s easy to see inside and keep an eye on your creations. However, some people prefer (or only have the space for) a built-under oven, and these appliances sit below the kitchen worktop, often directly beneath the hob. One major downside, however, is that double built-under ovens have much smaller cavities than their built-in counterparts – an important consideration. What features are worth looking out for?
