  • I design wall ovens, realistically, it depends what you want to spend - they can be full golf club chat spec.

    I personally don't like pyrolytic cleaning - it consumes a huge amount of energy and even though they emit "safe" amounts of emissions, they still still release an amount of combustion gases into your house. If you do go pyro, use it while you're out and leave a window open.

    If you just want a no-nonsense decent quality electric oven, you cant go far wrong with the Miele / F&P / Neff offerings.

    I am a total convert to steam ovens - if you're re-doing your kitchen you could take advantage and get one that's plumbed into the kitchen at the same time. The cooking results for steam assisted roasting, bread baking and (if the oven you buy has it) sous vide cooking are really good.

  • Really interesting, thanks - wouldn't have thought that about pyrolitic ovens.

    Key concern for me is really good, accurate temperature control, but steam / sous vide sounds good too. Will check out those brands and see what looks good

  • The F&P stuff is spec'd to be ±1°C.

    I'd assume the competitors are the same at that level, but again it'll come down to how much you spend.
