Collection: Ovens

An oven bakes, roasts and grills, and the choice is between a built in oven on the wall installed into cabinetry and a benchtop oven that plugs in. Built-in ovens give full capacity and a neat kitchen but need installation; benchtop ovens suit small kitchens, rentals and extra capacity at Christmas. An electric oven with fan forced cooking heats more evenly. Think about your kitchen layout, how much you bake, and whether you can have an oven installed.

Built-in or benchtop oven?

The two suit different kitchens:

• Built-in wall oven: installed into cabinetry at a convenient height, with full capacity for roasts and baking trays. It needs a licensed electrician to connect, since it wires into fixed wiring.
• Benchtop oven: plugs into a normal power point and sits on the bench, suiting small kitchens, rentals, apartments and extra oven space when entertaining. Smaller capacity and it uses bench space.

What is a fan forced oven?

A fan forced oven has a fan that circulates hot air around the cavity, so the temperature stays even throughout instead of being hotter at the top. That means food cooks more evenly, you can bake on several shelves at once without rotating trays, and it usually cooks faster at a lower temperature. As a rule of thumb, reduce a conventional recipe temperature by around 20°C when using fan forced. Conventional (top and bottom element) heating still suits some baking, like cakes that need a gentler rise, which is why many ovens offer both modes.

How do you choose oven size and features?

Capacity is given in litres, and 60 to 80 litres is a typical built-in size that fits large roasting trays, while benchtop ovens usually run 20 to 45 litres. Check the internal width against your baking trays before buying. Useful features include multiple cooking functions (fan, grill, bake), a good seal and glazing to hold heat, shelf positions that suit big roasts, and a pyrolytic or catalytic self-cleaning function that burns off grease and saves scrubbing. Tip: an oven thermometer is worth having, since many ovens run hotter or cooler than the dial says.

Common questions

What is fan forced on an oven?
A fan circulates hot air so the temperature is even throughout, cooking food more evenly and letting you bake on several shelves at once. Reduce conventional recipe temperatures by around 20°C.

Can I install a built-in oven myself?
No — built-in ovens connect to fixed wiring and must be installed by a licensed electrician. A benchtop oven simply plugs into a standard power point with no trade needed.

What size oven do I need?
Built-in ovens are typically 60 to 80 litres, fitting large roasting trays; benchtop ovens run 20 to 45 litres. Check the internal width against your baking trays.

Is a benchtop oven worth it?
Yes for small kitchens, rentals and apartments, or as extra capacity when entertaining. They use less energy for small meals, though capacity is limited compared with a built-in oven.

Can I pay for an oven with Afterpay?
Yes. You can split it with Afterpay, Zip, Klarna or PayPal Pay in 4. Our ovens start from $38, which is four fortnightly payments of $9.50.
