The oven is one of the most practical kitchen appliances. Dishes prepared with its help will not only be tasty, but also healthy, since they can be created without adding oil. Food is prepared very quickly, and work surfaces are covered with modern materials that make cleaning easier. An oven can have a huge number of different functions, which allows it to replace a microwave and other appliances. It turns out that with its help you can further save space in the kitchen.
What to look for when choosing a gas oven for the kitchen
First you need to decide on the type of placement of the oven in the kitchen space. There are two types of models: dependent and independent. In the first option, the hob and oven are inextricably linked by a common control panel. Independent models can be located at any level convenient for the housewife. This provides additional safety if you have small children at home. The main criteria when choosing a gas oven are:
- power is the main parameter that affects the speed of cooking and the time to reach the maximum temperature; standard indicators vary in the range of 2.5 - 3 kW and 250 degrees of heating;
- oven volume – the maximum reaches 74 liters, depends on the dimensions of the oven, affects the possible number of products that can be cooked at one time;
- number of modes - varies depending on the model, affects the cost of the oven, the minimum value is 2 modes, the maximum number of heating modes reaches five;
- maximum temperature – reaches 250 degrees Celsius, determined by a built-in thermometer, the limitation is a safety element, this temperature is enough for daily use;
- appearance - the design and color scheme are very diverse, from classic style to ultra-modern modern style, but not all manufacturing companies can offer a choice of colors for their models;
- Dimensions – they vary in the width of the device, the height and depth parameters are often approximately the same, models can be either compact with a small internal chamber volume or spacious ovens with an additional separate chamber.
A comfortable control system will allow you to use the oven with pleasure. Preference is given to recessed mechanisms for switching temperature modes. This system is an additional element of safety when there are small children in the house.
Additional functions and components also play a role when choosing an oven. The presence of a powerful grill or spit expands the possibilities for operating the device. Telescopic guides greatly facilitate the process of removing the finished dish from a hot oven. The presence of additional protective glass in the gas oven door ensures safer use.
The cleaning system should also be comfortable and easy. Special innovative spraying in some models greatly facilitates this process.

Which gas oven is better to choose?
The choice of gas oven must be made based on the needs of use. Models can be equipped with a variety of functions such as convection, grill or spit. The volume of the internal chamber determines the amount of food that can be prepared in one use. Placement independent of the hob is an undeniable advantage of such models. The comfort of its subsequent operation depends on the installation location of the oven.
It is beneficial to purchase a gas oven for reasons of economy. Such devices have a high energy saving class - A. Operating the oven for several hours in a row does not lead to overheating of the electrical wiring. A high-quality oven will last for many years and will delight you with delicious dishes.
Design and principle of operation
Gas ovens usually consist of a single burner, made in the form of a curved tube and having fire holes. This element is located at the bottom of the chamber under the iron tray. Most models have a metal body and a door with a transparent glass insert through which you can watch the cooking. Integral attributes of ovens are also a mode switch and a temperature regulator; with their help, you can select the appropriate program for each dish. Modern units are equipped with a digital display that displays information about the current mode. It is advisable that the equipment is sold complete with grates and several baking trays, in which case you will not have to look for suitable sized “sheets” on the market.
The operating principle of gas ovens is quite simple - gas is supplied to the burner, mixed with air and ignited from a fire source. You can turn on the device using a regular match or electric ignition. The intensity of combustion can be adjusted by decreasing or increasing the gas supply. The energy source can be supplied through the city network or from a cylinder. The first option is preferable for a city apartment, and the second is optimal for dachas or private houses not connected to a centralized gas supply system.
Please note: combustion products that appear when cooking with gas pollute the air and must be removed outside the kitchen. An open window is not enough for this; it is worth installing a hood. It is advisable to place air purification equipment directly above the oven and stove so that smoke, soot and moisture are removed instantly.
