The Benefits of a Single Oven Fan
Your oven will indicate the user, usually with a light on the control panel when it has reached its set temperature. It may take some time to cool down the oven.
Fan ovens are a popular choice for their versatility. They offer uniform heat distribution, quicker cooking times and many other benefits.
Even Ovens And Hobs
From a Sunday roast to the perfect grilled cheese sandwich, an oven can be used to create a wide variety of culinary creations. Understanding your oven's settings and the type of cooking you do can affect the quality of your final dishes.
You'll first want to identify whether or not your oven has a blower. Listening is a good way to determine whether your oven has a fan. A single fan will produce a distinct whirring noise when it's turned on. Alternately, you could look at the outside of your oven for an emblem that demonstrates its fan capability. It is usually a small fan enclosed in a rectangular shape with no lines or a smaller fan enclosed by a circle.
A range with a fan can also be equipped with additional symbols that indicate other features, such as an infant lock or the pyrolytic system. Pyrolytic cleaning uses high temperatures to melt away dirt, making it easier to wipe clean. It's a great choice for busy eateries, and many big oven manufacturers have their own name for this feature such as Siemens' activeClean.
You may also find a setting called "fan with bottom heating" that is ideal to create crisp pizza bases and pastries. This setting blends evenly distributed heat through a fan with a concentrated heat from the bottom of the oven, allowing it to cook your dishes quickly and evenly.
A timer can be set to make the oven shut off at a certain date and time. This feature is useful when you cook multiple meals simultaneously and want to ensure that all cook at the exact same time.
Finally, some ovens have the function of a 'fanned grill' which is ideal to cook poultry and meat. It combines the rapid heat distribution of a fan with the focused heat of the oven's bottom component, meaning that your food will cook faster and more evenly.
Faster cooking
Food tends to cook faster when hot air is blown directly onto the food instead of just surrounding it. Moving air speeds up the transfer of heat, which happens naturally when temperatures are convergence. It's similar to the wind chill effect you might experience during a cold winter day. You will feel colder faster.
A fan oven can cut cooking times by up to 25 percent when compared to conventional ovens. In addition, it can reduce the time needed to pre-heat by as much as 50 percent (ideal for quick suppers).
The use of the fan to circulate heat in the oven can also result in faster and more even cooking. The circulated air helps prevent hot and cold spots within the oven, and also on every tray. This leads to consistently cooked dishes. For this reason, fan ovens are often preferred for tasks like baking, where consistency in cooking time and temperatures are essential.
It is essential to remember that, even though the single oven's speedy cooking capabilities are beneficial but they will require longer to produce the same results as conventional ovens if employed for the same recipes. It is recommended that you follow the cooking temperatures and times recommended by your recipe.
Single oven fan models are ideal when you're looking for an oven that can handle a variety of cooking tasks. However, if you prefer the versatility of multifunction models, then you may be interested in a double oven.
Our top-rated Lamona built-under double fan oven is a great choice for family homes or landlords who want to kit out kitchens that are flatshare. It is simple to load and open, and is able to be placed in small spaces. It comes with an oven with a grill as well as a fan-oven with plenty of space for roasting, baking and much more. It's available in a stylish stainless steel finish, and is fully programmable to help you make dinner faster.
Reduced energy consumption
The fan in your oven circulates hot air around the food to cook it more quickly and evenly. This means you can cook at less heat to get the same results in cooking and, in turn, reduces your energy consumption. In normal use, the average oven consumes between 2,000 to 3,500 watts. Of course, this could differ significantly based on the method you use and what you cook in the oven. It also depends on the size of the oven, how long you cook for and the type of preheating system you use.
If you use your oven regularly, the fan can help reduce the energy use. This is particularly true if you cook at a lower temperature and over a longer period of time.
A single electric oven equipped with a built-in fan can cut energy use by up to 40%. The fan lets cooking at a lower heat and for a shorter time. This can reduce the cost of electricity and have a positive effect on the environment.
Modern cooking appliances are designed to provide maximum energy efficiency. A single oven fan can help reduce energy use and maintain the temperature of your oven. However, even if have an efficient oven, the use of the fan can further reduce your energy usage.
An electric oven of standard is, for instance, using between 2,000 between 3,500 and 3,000 Watts when being used. A fan oven could cut the amount to half. The fan consumes only 400 watts, whereas the surfaces of an electric range consume up to 6 Kilowatts.
The present power sharing method enables the appliance to reduce the power consumption at peak by selectively coupling oven components to either L2 or the neutral line N through the demand response switch arrangement (relay 200 in this case however it could be any other electromechanical power switching device). This is accomplished by controlling relay contacts 210 in response to a utility signal.
Convenience
As the heat rises from lower shelves, it will decrease as you cook multiple dishes. The dishes on the top of the oven will cook faster than those on the bottom. In a single-fan oven, this isn't an issue since the hot air circulates through the entire cavity, ensuring that the food is cooked evenly and at the same time.
In addition to ensuring even heat distribution, the circulation of hot air increases the speed of cooking by eliminating hot and cold spots in the oven. This allows food to be cooked faster than traditional oven, saving you time.
Another benefit of a fan assisted oven is that it can be utilized at lower temperatures than conventional ovens, allowing you to cook your meals at a more affordable cost. The reason for this is because the fan is powered by a thermoelectric switch, which turns on when the oven's temperature reaches a predetermined level. This means that after the temperature has cooled, the fan will turn off automatically.
You can also select the fan only setting. This will give you the fan function of an electric oven but with the added benefit of having the ability to grill on top. This is ideal for cooking pizzas or open faced sandwiches since it allows the base of the dish to cook with fan and the top with directly radiated heat, giving a perfect combination of both crispness and softness.
You don't have to power on your oven to determine whether it has a fan as most models will feature an easy-to-read symbol on the control panel that will indicate this. You can tell if a fan is present by looking for a three-pronged fan or an icon with the word "fan". Certain conventional ovens come with different symbols, or may not even have a fan icon.
