The Benefits of a Single Oven Fan
Usually, your oven will indicate by illuminating the control panel when it reaches its temperature set. It may take some time for the oven to cool.
Fans are popular because of their versatility. They offer uniform heat distribution, quicker cooking times and a host of other benefits.
Even heat distribution
From a Sunday roast to the perfect grilled cheese sandwich, an oven is used to make a variety of culinary creations. The kind of cooking you use and how you use your oven could have an impact on the finished quality of your dishes knowing the oven's settings is essential to getting the most of it.
The first thing to determine if your oven has fans or not. This can be done by listening to the sound - the fan that is in use will emit a distinct whirring sound when it's activated. Alternatively, built in single gas oven with gas grill can also look at the outside of your oven for the specific symbol that signifies its fan capability. It is usually a small fan enclosed in a square without lines or a more compact fan enclosed by a circle.
A fan-enabled range may also include additional symbols to signify other features, such as an infant lock or pyrolytic system. Pyrolytic cleaning is a fast and simple method of cleaning your oven. It works by using high temperatures that turn the residue into ash, making it easier to clean. This is an excellent feature for busy restaurants. Many big oven brands use this feature as activeClean for example.
There's also the option of 'fan with bottom heat', which is ideal for making crispy bases on pizzas and pastries. This setting combines an even heat distribution from a fan and concentrated heat from the base of the oven, allowing it to cook your food quickly and evenly.
Another feature that is commonly used is an alarm clock that can be programmed to turn off the oven on a specific date and time. This is useful if you're cooking multiple meals at the same time and want to be sure that they all finish simultaneously.
Some ovens also have an 'fanned-grill' feature which is ideal to cook poultry or meat. It combines the fast heating of a fan and the concentrated heat of the bottom part of the oven to cook your food more quickly and evenly.
Faster cooking
Food tends to cook faster when hot air is blown directly onto the food, as opposed to just surrounding it. This is due to the fact that moving air speeds up the natural process of heat transference which occurs when different temperatures meet. It's similar to the wind chill effect you might experience on a windy winter day. You'll feel colder faster.
A fan oven could cut the cooking time by as much as 25% compared to conventional ovens. In addition, it can also reduce pre-heating times by as much as 50 percent (ideal for quick dinners).
A fan in the oven circulates heat more quickly and more evenly. This is due to the fact that the circulating air keeps hot and cold spots within the oven and across the various tray, which results in meals that cook consistently. For this reason, fan ovens are typically used for baking tasks where consistency in cooking times and temperatures is key.
It is essential to keep in mind that, even though the single oven fan's speedy cooking capability is advantageous but they will require more time to achieve the same results as conventional ovens if used for the same recipes. It is therefore recommended to follow the cooking temperatures and timings suggested by your recipe.
Single oven models provide the ideal solution for those looking for a range that can handle many cooking tasks. If, however, you prefer the flexibility of multi-functional models, you may want to consider a double oven.
Our top-rated Lamona built-under double fan oven is an excellent option for homes with a large family or landlords looking to build out kitchens for flatshare. It's simple to open and load into, and can be easily fitted into small spaces. It has grill, as well as a fan-oven and plenty of room for baking, roasting and more. It's available in a stylish stainless steel finish and is fully programmed to prepare your dinner faster.
Energy consumption is reduced
The fan in your traditional oven circulates hot air around the food to cook it more evenly and faster. This means you can use lower temperatures to achieve the same cooking results which in turn lowers your energy usage. When used in normal usage the average oven uses about 2,000 to 3,500 power. Of course, this can differ greatly based on how you cook your food in the oven. The energy consumption of your oven may be affected by its size, the cooking time and the type of heating system you use.
If you cook with your oven frequently it is possible to lower your energy usage. This is especially true if you cook at a lower temperature and over a longer time.
A single electric oven that has a built-in fan can reduce energy use by up to 40%. The fan lets you to cook at a lower temperature and for a shorter time. This can reduce your electric bill and also can have a positive impact on the environment.
Modern kitchen appliances are designed to provide maximum energy efficiency. This includes using an oven fan to cut down on energy consumption by helping your oven to maintain an even temperature throughout. Even if you have an efficient oven, the use of a fan will further reduce your energy usage.
For example, a standard electric oven usually consumes between 2,000 and 3,500 watts of electricity when it is in operation. However, a fan oven can reduce this to around half. The fan uses only 400 watts. The elements on the surface of an electric range could consume up to 6 Kilowatts.
The present power-sharing method allows the appliance to cut down on the amount of energy consumed by coupling oven elements to either neutral line N or L2 via the demand response switch (relay 200, in this case but it could be another electromechanical power switching device). This is achieved by controlling the switching of relay contacts 210 in the event of the utility state signal.
Convenience
If you're cooking several dishes in a conventional oven, the heat will decrease when it is raised from the lower shelves. This causes food items placed higher in the oven to cook more quickly than those on the lower shelves. In a single-fan oven this is not a problem as the hot air circulates across the entire cavity. This means that all food items are cooked at the same time and evenly.
In addition to uniform heat distribution and even heat distribution, the circulation of hot air increases the speed of cooking by removing cold and hot spots in the oven. This allows food to cook faster than traditional oven, saving you time.
Another benefit of using a fan assisted oven is that it can be used at lower temperatures than a conventional oven which allows you to cook your meals at a more affordable cost. This is because the fan is powered by the thermal switch, which only activates when the oven temperature is at a predetermined level. This means that after the temperature is at a certain point the fan will switch off automatically.
Alternatively, you can select the fan and only setting, which provides both the advantages of an electric oven, with the fan function, as well as being equipped to grill over. This is perfect for grilling pizzas and open-faced sandwiches, as the base can be cooked using the fan, and the top is directly radiating. The result is a perfect mix between softer and crispness.
It is not necessary to power up your oven to identify whether it has a fan, since most models have an obvious symbol on the control panel that will indicate this. You can determine if the oven has a fan by looking for a three-pronged fan, or an icon with the word "fan". Conventional ovens might have different symbols or even lack the fan icon completely.
