Ovens - Frequently Asked Questions

How do you clean an oven?

How you clean your oven completely depends on your oven type. Many ovens are lined with easy-to-wipe surfaces and removable trays, allowing you regularly deep clean your oven with just a gentle cloth, detergent and warm water. Make sure to check that your oven has cooled before cleaning to avoid safety hazards.
If you’ve chosen a pyrolytic oven, you can enjoy the convenience of a self-cleaning oven that uses high heat to burn food residue into ash that can be easily wiped away.

What is the difference between electric ovens and gas ovens?

Electrc ovens are designed to deliver a consistent and even heat, making them popular for baking and everyday cooking. Gas ovens, on the other hand, heat up quickly and can be cheaper to run in some homes, but may have less even temperature distribution compared to electric models.

What is the difference between freestanding and built-in ovens?

Freestanding ovens are designed to combine an oven and cooktop into one unit and sit on the floor. On the other hand, built-in ovens are installed into cabinetry at bench or eye level, allowing them to be flexible with any of your kitchen cabinetry.

What is the healthiest type of oven?

Steam ovens are often considered one of the healthiest options if you’re looking to avoid any harsh or electric heat. Instead, steam ovens use moisture to help retain the nutrients and texture of your food whilst keeping all the tasty flavours of your favourite meal.

What ovens are the most energy efficient?

To find the most energy-efficient oven, look for ovens with a high energy rating. Often ovens that use fan forced cooking and more modern insulation tend to be the most energy efficient. A great way to save energy while cooking is to use the ‘fan-forced’ setting. This helps to reduce overall cooking time and energy use as a result.

Ovens That Cook With Confidence

From roast dinners to frozen pizzas, the oven is one of the most convenient cooking appliances in your kitchen, allowing you to prepare all your favourite meals faster than ever. That’s why it’s important to choose an oven that complements your lifestyle and cooking habits to ensure you’re getting the oven features you need.

Types of Ovens

While you might have a certain thought when you first hear the word ‘oven’, there are actually many oven types that deliver different functionalities based on your needs. Varying by size, power, style, functionality and a series of other features, we’ve broken down the most popular types of ovens available at Billy Guyatts, so you can find the best model for your kitchen.

Electric Ovens

One of the most popular types of ovens, electric ovens are powered by electricity and are available in built-in and freestanding models. As a family-friendly model for many home kitchens, electric ovens are best used for everyday cooking, baking, roasting, grilling and other spontaneous cooking needs. With consistent temperature control, they deliver even heat that helps to cook each meal to perfection.

Freestanding Ovens

As an all-in-one oven unit that combines an oven and cooktop into a single appliance, freestanding ovens deliver the perfect package of all your cooking needs. Easily sliding into your kitchen cabinetry, freestanding oven models give you the best of both worlds with a full cooking setup without the need for a separate cooktop. As one of the easier ovens to install, these models are particularly popular for those with rental properties or renovating a first-time kitchen.

Gas Ovens

In comparison to electric ovens, gas ovens are powered by natural gas or LPG, meaning that it uses gas flames as a fuel source to heat. As a more traditional oven, gas ovens offer the reliability you need to cook with confidence. So even if you lose power, you can operate your gas oven model for reliable and consistent heat.

Pyrolytic Ovens

Pyrolytic ovens are self-cleaning electric ovens that take oven technology to the next level! Using high heat to burn food residue into ash and easily wipe clean, they’re a convenient option for any busy cook in the kitchen who might not have time to maintain or regularly clean their oven. Delivering the same benefits and cooking quality as an electric oven, pyrolytic ovens are fast becoming a popular choice for Australian households looking to save time and effort in the kitchen.

Steam & Combi Steam Ovens

Steam ovens use a little bit of a different process to heat up your food. Instead of gas or electricity, they heat up water and create steam, which gently cooks food using moisture rather than dry heat. This is a particularly popular model for those who commonly cook vegetables, fish, rice or frozen meals. Combi steam ovens are very similar; however, they combine steam with traditional oven heating (like fan-forced or conventional heat) providing a little more variety to your cooking routine.

Combi Microwaves

Combi microwaves (otherwise known as combination microwaves) are designed to mix the functionalities of a microwave, grill and convection oven all into one! Perfect for basically any cooking task from reheating to grilling, baking and microwaving meals. This is the ultimate multi-tasking oven, helping to condense all your cooking needs into one stylish unit.

Warming Drawers

Unlike traditional types of ovens, warming drawers don’t cook your food but are designed to gently warm food or plates in preparation for whenever you’re ready to serve. Whether you’re hosting a delicious gathering or just have some kids running around keeping you occupied before dinner, warming drawers are the perfect way to ensure you can enjoy a fresh and warm meal, no matter when it was cooked.

What to Consider When Buying an Oven

Choosing the right oven for your kitchen goes way beyond just choosing the right type of oven. Beyond the way your oven operates are a series of features to consider if your dream oven is compatible with your kitchen. From your kitchen’s style to the size, your cooking needs and lifestyle, there are so many factors that play a role in helping you find the best oven for you. That’s why, before making your final choice, consider the following:

How big should your oven be?
Depending on the size of your household, you may need a larger or smaller oven to keep up with the demands of a busy kitchen. Start by measuring the space you can realistically fit an oven into your home. At Billy Guyatts, we offer a range of oven sizes to suit your needs, from 45cm small ovens to 110cm ovens. Find the right fit for your space and cooking needs.
What type of oven configuration do you need?
In addition to size, consider the type of oven configuration you’ll need for your cooking and spatial requirements. From upright ovens with stovetops that can fit into kitchen cabinetry niches to built-in double ovens and single ovens, consider if you’ll need two compartments or extra features to curate the most efficient cooking zone in your home.
How will your new oven be installed?
Different ovens require different installation methods. From wall ovens to under-bench ovens with cooktops, consider how your oven will be installed, who will need to install it and if you have available space in your kitchen to install the oven.
What types of settings and features does your new oven need?
Many ovens come with a range of standard features such as fan-forced, grill, and timer settings. However, depending on what you’re looking to cook, consider what extra features you may need to make your cooking easier. From cooktops to ovens with a separate grill, ovens with air fryers and more, think about the features and settings you’ll need most.

Oven Styles to Suit Every Kitchen

While you’ll want to find an oven that best keeps up with your busy lifestyle and kitchen demands, it’s also important to consider the actual style of the oven itself. As a permanent feature in your kitchen, your oven should complement your kitchen’s style, blending in with the thoughtful design of the space.
