Your Oven - The Ultimate Entertaining Partner!

If you like to entertain then you will know that the right tools are essential to make your dinner party a success. You need an oven packed with practical features and functions to make sure you have everything you need to cook up a culinary delight. So how do you pick the right oven for you? It’s easy, look out for the features that I have outlined below.

Double or a single oven? I think that if entertaining is a hobby of yours then you should definitely opt for a double oven. This will obviously give you more space to cook more items at one time, so you can entertain large numbers of guests easily. In addition to this you can programme the double oven separately, giving you the flexibility to cook different food items at the same time without having to worry about one over cooking or the temperature not being exactly right to ensure that your food is thoroughly finished.

So, what other features are out there to make sure that your new oven is the ultimate appliance for entertaining? Let’s start with automatic timers. Programmable automatic timers allow you to start cooking and finish cooking at a time specified by you, so you won’t have to worry about overcooking and spoiling your food whilst you are entertaining your guests. They also help you make sure that everything is ready at the same time, perfect for when you need some help with organisation.

Speed cooking is available on some models – this feature removes the need to preheat the oven, rapidly bringing it to the selected temperature. This will save you vital minutes when you have hungry guests waiting to be fed! Keep warm is another feature that you will find useful. Why not keep the main course warm while you are eating your starter with your guests?

To keep you in control, internal oven lights can illuminate the inside of your oven whilst you cook, so you will not have to keep opening the oven to check on the food inside. This is perfect when you are cooking delicate dishes such as a soufflé.

Some ovens come with special features that prevent the transfer of flavours across dishes in the oven, such as Ventitherm© from AEG. This is a fantastic feature that allows you to cook savoury and sweet items together without cross contamination across the oven itself – ideal when you are cooking a 3 course meal or preparing a hot buffet.
As you can see from the few mentioned above there are so many practical features that you will find very helpful within a new oven, whether you’re a budding hostess or just a busy mum.
