Capacity
Internal volume involved in cooking. The larger the capacity, the more spacious the oven, but do not forget that this parameter also affects the dimensions of the device.
Minimum temperature
The lower temperature level at which the electric oven starts heating. So, for example,
the minimum heating temperature up to 50 ˚С allows you to heat ready meals, heat tableware (before serving), dry crackers and other culinary products.
Max. temperature
The maximum air temperature inside the electric oven during normal operation. The possibility of cooking certain dishes depends on the maximum temperature. And if you are not a gourmet and do not cook anything super-unusual, then
models with a high temperature are useless to you.
250 °C will be quite enough.
Number of cooking modes
The number of specific operating modes provided for by the design of the oven (for example, “top grill”, “bottom grill”, “grill + convection”, temperature conditions, etc.). The more modes, the wider the possibilities of the oven.
Chamber coating
The type of chamber coating used in the oven.
— Stainless steel. Such a coating is inexpensive, while it is durable and tolerates even strong heat without problems. Its main drawback is the difficulty in cleaning: dried dirt can be quite difficult to remove from the steel surface, and the use of abrasive products can lead to scratches.
— Enamel.
The heat-resistant enamel coating has a pleasant appearance and is easier to clean than stainless steel (although not as easy as non-stick coating). However, such a surface must be protected from impacts. Otherwise, cracks and chips may appear on the enamel.
—
Non-stick coating. The special coating resists sticking of various pollution. The main advantage of such surfaces is the ease of cleaning: you do not need to scrape off dried food particles. It is enough to wipe the surface with a sponge and detergent. Note that there are several varieties of non-stick coatings, some of which have specific maintenance requirements. For each model, it should be clarified separately.
