Boring post I know, but it occurs to me I’ve never actually bought an oven before! After a fair bit of deliberation I found one in our price range that seems to have good reviews. So we bought it yesterday. Only thing is for some reason it doesn’t have a non-fan option. Isn’t this weird? It’s an electric single oven and functions it has are: Grill, Fan Grill, Defrost, Light, Fan Forced Cooking.
I’ve been cooking on a very old, very basic upright gas oven up until this point. Can’t think of many occasions I’ve used it without the fan, even while baking.
The next option up was $200 more with these options: Fan grill, Defrost, Traditional bake, Pizza, Rapid heat, Grill, Fan forced cooking, AirFry and a digital display rather than knobs. Seemed a waste of money given the basic stove I have been using up until now has no options (besides fan), yet I make a wide variety of food in it, including pizzas and baking. I suspected it might be one of those things that ends up being largely unnecessary.
What’s the deal, foodies? Do I need a non-fan option?
