Features to look for before you buy this cooking appliance.
Self-cleaning oven: Self-cleaning ovens are excellent and can save your rubber-gloves. Even though powerful chemical oven cleaners are also available, they are a hassle to use and also pollute the air in your home.
There are two types of self-cleaning ovens – Conventional and Continuous-Cleaning.
The conventional oven type can be set to heat up to 1000 Degrees F so that they nuke all food debris into ash that can easily be wiped away.
A continuous-cleaning oven has a special interior finish that oxidizes food spills every time you use the oven. This works excellent but is not effective for large spills.
Broiling features: Most of the ranges have a broiler at the top. Some of them offer you the option to vary the temperature of the broiling element and others are either off or on.
Oven racks: Oven racks are very helpful in any kitchen. You can get an oven with two or three racks but three racks are better than two as they give you more options. You have the option to remove one or two of the racks. A half rack is also very helpful as it lets you bake something tall along with short items. This also saves your time in cooking.
Electronic controls: While buying a cooking range, look for electronic controls that will enable you to do more than turn the unit off and on and set the temperature. Some models will allow you to program your cooking or delay the start. Make sure the controls are easy to use and user-friendly.
Warming drawer: A stove with a compartment with separate temperature control is convenient for keeping some foods warm while cooking other food items.
Storage drawer: If you buy a freestanding range, most probably it will have a storage drawer. Storage drawers types with a removable liner are easiest to clean.
Child lockout: This childproofing feature prevents small children from opening the oven door. This is an important safety feature to look into if there is a child in your home.
