How should a new baker buy their first oven?

Understanding the oven is the foundation of good baking, and since the function and performance of each oven are different, it is important to have a general understanding of the oven first. This will be of great help to your future baking. There are many types of ovens on the market, how to choose the right one for you as a novice baker?

At present, there are three types of temperature regulation type, timing type and temperature regulation timing type on the market, and simple type is rare. Among them, the electric oven with temperature regulation and timing has the most complete performance and the most convenient operation. If the economic situation is relatively affluent and you usually use it often, although the ** of the temperature control timer type electric oven is higher, it is better to buy this type in the long run and convenience considerations.

The power of the electric oven is generally 450 1200 watts, if the user's watt-hour meter load allows, it is better to choose more than 700 watts. On the surface, high power seems to be electricity, but because of the high power and sufficient heat, the working time is short, and it is not necessarily more expensive to use than the low power.

There are three types of heating elements of electric ovens: tubular electric heating element, quartz glass tube heating element, and sheet direct-heating radial heating element. All three types of heating elements have far-infrared radiation properties. When purchasing, there is no need to consider the type of heating element, as long as it is evenly arranged and easy to load and unload.

The length, width and height ratio of the electric oven is appropriate, which can give people a sense of beauty, and the appearance color can be adapted to individual conditions. It is better to have a clear glass viewing window for the door. If there are patterns or marks, it will affect the uniformity of its thermal stress, and if the thermal stress is uneven, it may cause a burst accident due to drastic changes in temperature difference.

Baking is a tiring and happy thing, so when a novice just starts to learn to bake, it is very important to choose the first oven, and a ***, fully functional oven is very helpful to your learning path.

There are many advantages of a small oven, it is small and easy to carry, and it is beautiful to look at, but if a small oven is used to learn baking, the requirements are far from enoughSo I recommend that the first choice is a large oven, because the large oven has a lot of space, and it can adjust a constant temperature, and there are many functions that small ovens do not have, so be sure to choose a large oven.

If you're just learning to bake at home, go for a home-based, economical external ovenThe size is moderate and the number of pastries made in this type of oven is suitable for a family of 4 to 7 to eat, which meets the number of people, and has basic baking oven functions.

If you choose the general size, if you put it in the kitchen, the size of about 40L is just right, and this size is suitable for families with about 2-5 peopleIf you put it in a studio, you can choose a relatively large oven, because there are more people in the studio, so you can choose a relatively large oven, and this kind of oven is very functional.

Summary:

If you are a novice learning to bake, I really don't recommend buying a small oven, because the small oven is timid, very close to the food, and the baking temperature is getting higher and higher, which is not conducive to learning various operations of baking

(1) Independent temperature control of the upper and lower tubes

In fact, temperature control is still very important in baking, and different desserts need different functions, when you find that your baked things are a little burnt or not cooked enough, you will find how good it is to have this function. So I think it's very important to have this feature.

(2) Fermentation and thawing function

It's more convenient to use this to make bread in winter, but it's not necessary, and I feel that the low temperature fermentation function of my oven is high when it is turned on, almost reaching 50-60 degrees, and if it is left on for fermentation, I suspect that the yeast in the dough is going to die. So if you don't have this function, it's okay Let's introduce you a method that can be fermented in the oven without a fermentation function....<>

Preheat the oven a little first, you can use the oven thermometer to measure it or open the oven yourself to feel it a little, there is a certain amount of heat, and then turn off the oven, if the heating is too much, wait a little, put the dough ready to ferment in it and let it ferment in this warm environment The oven door is closed and the cooling speed is not too fast In winter, the fermentation effect with this method is still quite good <

(3) Intelligent temperature control and mechanical temperature control

Intelligent temperature control is the kind of data that directly displays the current temperature, and you can directly enter the value if you want to preheat up, and it will ring when the preheating is good. Buy a mechanical temperature control kind and buy an oven thermometer to measure the temperature, after a long time, you are familiar with how to adjust the temperature of the oven, and naturally it can be used I am like this ( o

(4) Hot air circulation function

Heat food more evenly to prevent partial burning. This function is not available in every oven, if you want to see yourself, it is the best! Especially for small ovens with small capacity and easy to heat unevenly, it is best to have them, after all, if you want to bake a perfect cake and so on, it is still important to be heated evenly!

Think about the initial baking, I bought a Galanz 19 liters of small oven, the first thing to ask about the oven is the volume, the 19 liters of the volume barely put down an 8-inch pizza or cake, but because the volume is too small, too close to the upper and lower heating pipes of the oven, the expanded cake is easy to overheat the surface If you want to make delicious snacks and delicious oven dishes, a good oven is the first step. Some netizens often ask whether the microwave oven grilling function at home can replace the oven? The answer is no, the heating principle of the oven and Weibo is completely different, and there is no way to replace it.

For novices, we have to buy the right oven, not the expensive one. The first oven, as for us, is equivalent to practice, but we can't buy it too badly, or it is a obsolete product. How to choose the right oven?

vivi gives you some reference, I hope it will be helpful to everyone! My first oven is the simplest small oven, with only one button, a grill, a baking tray, a heating pipe, use it to bake white potatoes, especially good, much stronger than the baked white potatoes in the paint bucket outside, and then I feel that the temperature can not be adjusted, and the biscuits are baked at a temperature, and I always look at it to avoid being mushy, and I bought a second oven.

Novice family entry-level oven, don't choose too expensive, as long as it meets the needs of the family, the capacity can be between 30-45 liters, the upper and lower fire can be adjusted independently, with hot circulating air, and a stove lamp. This configuration of a domestic oven can be bought for about 300-500 yuan. From a practical point of view, choosing a household electric oven with basic functions can fully meet the needs.

So, what are the basic functions that an oven needs? - There are two sets of heating pipes, and the upper and lower heating pipes can be heated at the same time.

The double-glazed door has excellent airtightness, and the inner cavity of the oven has better thermal insulation ability, which can solve the problem of insufficient temperature at the corners of the baking tray; In addition, it can reduce the temperature of the outer glass to prevent burns, and can also prevent the glass explosion caused by the sudden cooling of the oven caused by the outside world, which plays a protective role in the human body.

Be sure to choose a small oven, and be sure to choose a big brand, these two of the big brands are better, and the after-sales service is more guaranteed.

First of all, we must consider the first aspect of the problem, choose a more cost-effective oven, followed by his size, take into account the area of the kitchen at home, need to ensure practicality, try to choose a big brand with good quality and warranty.

I will consider its ** first, as well as its functionality, and it must be of good quality and low price, I will choose to buy.

1.Oven size.

If it is a three-mouth oven, it is best to choose a size of more than 25L, and now there is a compact oven with a size of only 12L, which is suitable for one person, but the size of the oven is too small and it is more troublesome to use.

2.Inner tank material.

The inner liner of the oven is made of enamel material, aluminized steel material, stainless steel material, etc. Generally speaking, stainless steel liners are the most common, but they are also relatively high. The galvanized liner will be oxidized, so it will gradually be replaced by aluminized steel.

3.Stove lamp. The role of the stove lamp is very large, for example, you can observe the state of the food in the oven, once the food is about to burn, you can also make a disposal at any time, of course, if there is no stove lamp, you can also use a flashlight or mobile phone to illuminate it.

4.Number of oven layers.

There are many types of ovens with one, three and five layers, if it is a household oven, you can choose three layers, and if it is a commercial oven, it will be more convenient to have more layers.

5.Regulate the temperature.

6.Appearance. Finally, check the appearance of the oven, mainly to check whether the paint of the oven is peeling, whether the door of the oven is easy to open and close, whether there are scratches or bumps on the surface, etc.

First of all, look at the capacity, although it is a household oven, it should not be too small, otherwise there will only be regrets. Generally, it is better to choose more than 30 liters for household ovens. If you already have a baking foundation, it is recommended to choose a larger oven if you want, the bigger the oven, the better.

Secondly, it is necessary to choose one that can adjust the temperature up and down separately, and most ovens on the market should be able to meet this condition. Because some foods require different upper and lower temperatures.

Looking at the inner liner of the oven, there are generally galvanized, aluminized, non-stick coating, enamel, enamel is the best, non-stick coating is easier to clean, galvanized is slightly worse, can choose a better one or choose a better one.

Heating element. There are several kinds of heating elements, generally choose the one with 6 heating elements or the M-type heating element, the area is larger, and the temperature will be more uniform.

If it has a built-in light, you can see things clearly while baking. In addition, some ovens have a hot air function, which depends on the demand, and the hot air function will bake more evenly, but generally ** will be slightly higher.

The ** of household ovens is generally about two or three hundred to one thousand, which is enough. You can choose the right oven according to your actual situation.

Ordinary household,Midea, German, Italian and Kashiare all good choices.

For those who are not bad for money, you can consider Siemens, which integrates beauty and talent.

1.Recommended 30-40L capacityMany people will choose a small oven in order to test the water, but don't buy too small one for beginner baking! Because the larger the capacity, the more evenly heated it will be (the less likely it is to fail to bake), and the small oven has a limited capacity, so only small things can be baked.

The recommended capacity is 30-40L, which can basically meet the needs of most families.

2.Be sure to choose an oven with independent temperature control of the upper and lower tubes, and the oven should have "independent temperature control of the upper and lower tubes", which can adjust the temperature of the upper and lower tubes of the oven according to the situation, so as to ensure that the food is evenly heated and colored.

3.It is right to choose aluminized or enamel liners, and the materials of household oven liners are currently divided into four categories: galvanized, aluminized, stainless steel and enamel.

The four materials are different, the quality is different, through many evaluations, it is found that the aluminized or enamel liner is more cost-effective and practical, easy to clean, high stability, good safety, and recommended entry choice.

4.Lighting and hot air circulation should be considered to have a lighting lamp to facilitate the observation of food changes in the oven, and it is good to shoot the baking! Increasing the effect of heat circulation can adjust the heat flow, so that the heating temperature is more uniform, and the overall color of the food will be better.

Each machine has its own temper, the longer it is used, the more times it is used, the temperature control of the oven will definitely change slightly, and you must use it more and observe it more to better control it.

I am also a novice myself, and I have read a lot of knowledge about ovens on the Internet, including Junzhi and Wenyi's, etc., and in the end, I bought the Changdi CKF-30GS model. I've been using it for a month now and it feels very good, perfect for newbies. I'll start with the configuration structure of this one, so let's share it together.

1.Volume 30L: 30L As a novice home baking, judging from the baking I have done this month, it is very suitable.

Whether it is making pastries or barbecue, the volume of 30L is suitable for several people in the family to enjoy at one time. In addition, the amount of 30L used in some recipes for pastry is not too big or small, just right.

2.Heating tubes: 2 parallel heating pipes in vertical rows on the top and bottom are enough for a novice.

There is no need for 6 at all. The general baking is 150-230°C, and the baking temperature can be fully met after the four heel pipe clamps are heated. In particular, I want to note that the upper and lower heating tubes I bought can control the temperature separately, which is very important in the future baking.

3.Fork turn, hot air circulation: this one has both functions. However, unless it is grilled whole chicken and meat, it is generally not used, of course, it is better to bring it, and it is convenient to use.

4.Lighting: I think lighting is also very important, because it is important for a novice to be able to see the baking process in the oven when he is baking.

If you don't have a light, you always open the oven door, which will cause the temperature to drop, and the baking temperature will not be up to standard, and the baking will not be very successful. That's one of the reasons why I recommend this one.

5.Low Fermentation: This one also has a low fermentation function, and it is labeled at room temperature 230°C.

In fact, low-temperature fermentation is generally not up to the temperature and humidity of fermentation in the oven. You need to sum up your experience in practice, and there are methods on how to achieve the temperature and humidity of fermentation in Junzhi's blog.

6.Timer function: It's very convenient for me to use anyway, and the average oven should have this function. It's still necessary.

The above are the features that come with this oven. As a newbie, there are actually some features that I don't use, so I started with cookies. The oven temperature control is accurate. If you're not sure, you can buy an oven thermometer.

After playing for a long time, I'm tired, so be it. I hope we can encourage each other to bake delicious snacks, hehe.

It's been more than a month now, and it's still very strong, and the wood has declined. I think it's worth the money, hehe. It's very comfortable to use.
