The Benefits of a Single Oven Fan
Typically, your oven will indicate by lighting up the control panel once it reaches the temperature it was set for. It may take a while for your oven to cool down.
Fans are popular due to their versatility. They provide uniform heat distribution, quicker cooking times and many other benefits.
Even heat distribution
From a Sunday roast to the perfect grilled cheese sandwich, an oven can be used to cook a wide range of culinary delights. Understanding your oven's settings and the type of cooking you use can affect the quality of your dishes.
It is important to first determine whether your oven is equipped with a blower. It is possible to listen to determine if your oven is equipped with fans. A single fan will produce an unmistakable whirring sound when it's turned on. Alternately, you could look at the outside of your oven for the specific symbol that signifies the power of its fan. It is usually tiny fan that is enclosed in a square with no lines or a more compact fan enclosed by an arc.
A fan-enabled range will also have additional symbols to indicate other features, like the child lock or the pyrolytic system. Pyrolytic cleaning uses high temperatures to burn away residue, making it easy to clean. This is a great feature for restaurants with a lot of customers. Many major oven brands refer to this feature as activeClean for instance.
There's also an option called "fan with bottom heat" that is perfect for making crispy bases on pizzas and pastries. This setting is a combination of the even heat distribution of fans with the intense heat from the oven's bottom, so your dishes will cook quickly and evenly.
A timer can be programmed so that the oven will turn off at a specific date and time. This is handy when you're cooking several meals at the at the same time, and you want to ensure that they're all done in the same amount of time.
Finally, some ovens have the function of a 'fanned grill which is perfect for cooking meats and poultry. It combines the rapid heating of a fan and the focused heat from the bottom element of the oven to cook your food faster and more 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 because air that is moving accelerates the natural process of heat transference that takes place when different temperatures converge. It's a bit like the wind chill you may experience on a windy winter day - you are colder more quickly than you would on a day of the same temperature.
A fan oven can reduce the cooking time by as much as 25% compared to conventional ovens. It also can cut down on pre-heating time by up to 50% (ideal for quick suppers).
The use of fans to circulate heat inside the oven also allows for faster and more evenly cooked food. The circulated air helps prevent hot and cold spots within the oven, and also on each tray. This results in consistently cooked meals. For this reason, fan ovens are often preferred for tasks like baking, where consistency in cooking time and temperatures is key.
While the speedy cooking capabilities of an oven fan are advantageous however, it's important to keep in mind that they may require more time to achieve the same result as conventional ovens when used for the same recipes. It is recommended to follow the cooking temperature and time that are suggested by the recipe.
Single oven models provide the ideal solution for those looking for a range that can handle an array of cooking tasks. However, if you prefer the flexibility of multifunction models, then you may be interested in a double oven.
The Lamona double fan built-under oven is the best choice for families or landlords who want to equip flatshare kitchens. It is easy to open and load, and it can be set up in tight spaces. It comes with grill, as well as a fan oven with plenty of space to bake, roast and more. It is finished in a chic stainless-steel finish, and is fully programmed to help you get your dinner on the table quicker.
Reduced energy consumption
The fan in your traditional oven circulates hot air around the food to cook it more efficiently and more evenly. This means that you can cook at less heat to get the same results when cooking which in turn reduces your energy consumption. In normal usage, the oven consumes between 2,000 and 3,500 watts. Of course, this could vary significantly depending on how and what you cook in the oven. The energy consumption of your oven can be affected by the size, the time you cook and the type of heating that you use.
If you do use your oven on a regular basis it is possible for the fan to help to reduce your overall energy consumption. This is especially true when you cook at a lower temperature or over a longer time.
A single electric oven that has a built-in fan can cut energy usage by up to 40%. The fan allows you cook at a lower heat and for a shorter period of time. This will help you reduce your energy bills and have a an impact on the environment.
Most modern cooking appliances are designed to be as energy efficient as is possible. A single oven fan can help reduce energy use and maintain a constant temperature in your oven. Even if your oven is efficient, the fan can help reduce the amount of energy consumed.
For instance, a standard electric oven usually consumes between 2,500 and 3,500 watts of electricity when in operation. However, a fan oven could reduce this to about half of that. This is because the fan only consumes around 400 watts of electricity, while the elements on the surface of an electric range consume up to 6 Kilowatts.
The present power-sharing method permits the appliance to reduce peak consumption by selectively coupling oven components to neutral line N or L2 using the demand response switch (relay 200, in this case but it could also be an electromechanical power switching device). This is achieved by controlling relay contacts 210 in response an utility signal.
Convenience
When you're cooking multiple dishes in a conventional oven, the heat will decrease as it rises up from the lower shelves. The dishes at the top of the oven will cook faster than those at the bottom. In electric single oven with grill isn't a problem as the hot air circulates through the entire cavity, ensuring that every dish is cooked evenly and at the same time.
In addition to ensuring even heat distribution in the air, the circulation of hot air increases the speed of cooking by eliminating hot and cold spots in the oven. This means that food can be cooked more quickly than in a conventional oven and will save you valuable cooking time.
Another benefit of using the fan assisted oven is that it can be utilized at lower temperatures than a conventional oven which allows you to cook your meals at a lower cost. The reason is that the fan is powered by a thermoelectric switch, which turns on when the oven's temperature reaches a predetermined level. This means that once the temperature has dropped the fan will turn off automatically.
Alternatively, you can select the fan and only setting that gives you both the advantages of an electric oven that has the fan function and also being capable of grilling on top. This is ideal for cooking pizzas and open-face sandwiches, as the base can be cooked using the fan, and the top directly radiated. The result is a perfect combination between a crisp and soft texture.
You don't have to power up your oven to identify whether it has a fan since the majority of models will have a simple symbol on the control panel which indicates this. You can tell if a fan is present by looking for a three-pronged fan, or an icon that says "fan". Certain conventional ovens come with different symbols or may not have an icon for a fan.
