Which oven is best?

When looking for a new oven, you probably want to know which oven is best for your kitchen and needs. What is a conventional oven? What is a convection oven? Is a convection microwave worth it? What about a steam oven? These questions might float through your mind while exploring your options.

Most of our models, for example, are convection ovens, meaning they are equipped with a fan to evenly spread hot air throughout the cavity. Since cleaning is a tiresome, thankless task, opt for a self-cleaning model, also known as a pyrolytic oven, to save time and hassle.
