If you are lucky enough to live in a gas-powered house, this is an excellent reason to save on energy. At least during the cooking process. Electricity does not want to get cheaper, and its consumption in our homes only increases with each new purchase of household appliances. And when you are faced with the question of choosing an oven, the most reasonable and economical solution will be a gas oven.
Modern models are almost as good as electric stoves in their functionality: smart automation, various controllers and even magnetrons emitting microwave waves can also be used here. All that remains is to choose a suitable gas model and install it.
Inexpensive gas ovens
Traditionally, we begin our review with models that do not have to spend the entire family budget. At the same time, the price does not greatly affect the functionality of the devices. Of course, the quality and number of functions is inferior to premium models, but given the cost, this is quite acceptable.

Nice additions and options
What makes using kitchen appliances more enjoyable always makes you part with extra money. But sometimes you really can’t do without some functions. Choose which options you will use most often so as not to overpay for extra stuffing.
Modern gas ovens delight housewives with a truly rich range of additional functions and devices:
- Telescopic guides or a pull-out cart - thanks to these devices, it is easier to remove hot dishes from the oven without the risk of getting burned on the side walls.
- Automatic ignition is where it is especially relevant, in gas stoves with a gas oven, which is so inconvenient to light in the traditional way.
- Cold door - for this, manufacturers use special thermal insulating materials or multi-layer glazing (3 sheets of heat-resistant glass are already enough). If there are children in the house or, after remodeling and renovating the kitchen, the oven turns out to be poorly located on the aisle, this option will pay off.
- Built-in filters prevent odors from spreading from the chamber. An excellent feature for installation in a studio kitchen combined with a living space, but only expensive gas ovens are equipped with it.
- Timer - will signal you that the allotted time has expired and it’s time to check the dish. In elite models, it can also send a command to the programmer to turn off the oven.
- Gas grill - there is also a function that allows you to get an appetizing golden brown crust on meat and fish dishes.
- Gas control is an important part of your safety. Shuts off the fuel supply to the burners when the flame goes out for some reason.
If your gas oven has a self-cleaning function, the most you can count on is a catalytic type. Simply put, the inner walls are coated with a special compound that breaks down fat, but you still have to remove it manually.
This coating expires in about 4-5 years (depending on the intensity of use), after which your gas catalytic oven turns into a regular one. However, there are special replacement panels for the walls of such cabinets - you can use them to simplify stove maintenance. Hydrolysis self-cleaning also occurs, but much less frequently.
Models with convection
These built-in ovens allow you to bake food evenly both inside and outside. This option will be appreciated by housewives who often pamper their guests with aromatic pastries or who like to bake large pieces of meat whole. The presence of a convection mode can significantly reduce cooking time and virtually eliminate its burning.
Korting OGG 1052CRI
The rating of the best gas ovens with convection function opens with a model that has quite interesting characteristics. The manufacturer offers a choice of 5 different operating modes.

The Korting OGG 1052 CRI oven can operate not only on mains gas, but also on bottled gas. For this purpose, the kit includes a special nozzle.
Pros:
- 5 different modes;
- convection system;
- 2 levels of grille placement;
- catalytic purification;
- economical lighting;
- excellent energy efficiency;
- Can run on bottled gas.

Catalytic or pyrolytic cleaning: which is better?
How to choose and what to pay attention to?
When choosing an oven model, pay attention to important technical parameters:
- Dependent or independent . The first type is built directly under the hob and is connected to it using only wires. Independent models are more popular because they can be placed anywhere and are selected based on the size of the given kitchen. These models are much safer for children.
- Dimensions and volume of the chamber . Ovens with a width of 45 cm are an excellent option for a compact kitchen. The standard size of 60 cm is suitable for large and medium-sized kitchen spaces. For a large family, it is better to choose a large-sized oven - 90 cm wide. The volume of the internal chambers of the models varies from 54 to 74 liters.
- Convection . This mode is suitable for those who want to bake several dishes at the same time, as well as for uniform heating of all sides of the food.
- Cleaning . Catalytic self-cleaning is extremely useful, which is a catalyst that destroys food plaque and fat. Residues are wiped with a damp sponge. Traditional cleaning is suitable for compact ovens.
- Internal camera illumination . The option is necessary in order to monitor the process of baking dishes - pie, meat, etc.
