Types of Ovens: Traditional, Convection, and Microwave.
There are basically three types of ovens: the traditional oven, the convection oven, and the microwave oven.
The traditional oven is used most commonly for baking bread or pies. They work by transferring heat from the inside of the oven to the outside through a fan or blower. The fan helps circulate air which makes it easier to cook food evenly.
Convection ovens use fans and circulating heat to cook food more evenly than a traditional oven. They work by distributing heat throughout an oven by blowing air across it. This helps create even temperatures so your food can cook more quickly and evenly. Convection ovens are great for cooking things like cookies, cakes, and meatloaf.
A microwave is a perfect option if you don’t have an extra lot of space in your kitchen for an oven. Microwaves use microwaves instead of heating up an entire room like a traditional oven does. Just place your food in the container and hit start!
The parts of an oven and how to repair them:
Most ovens come with a manual. Oven repair can be tricky, but with the right tools and guidance, it’s not too hard.
Here are the key parts of an oven and their functions:
The door: The main entrance to the oven. It opens and closes automatically using a spring or motor. The door may have a glass pane in it so you can see what’s cooking inside without having to open the entire oven door.
The broil pan: This is a pan that sits on top of the element that generates heat in the oven, so food can cook quickly over direct flame.
The heating element: This is where your food cooks. It’s usually made of metal or ceramic and is surrounded by housing that helps heat up quickly.
The controls: There are usually buttons or knobs on the front or back of the oven that allow you to adjust the temperature, turn on/off the light, choose your baking time (from 5 minutes to 1 hour), and more.
When to call a professional for oven repair:
If your oven is not working and you suspect that it is due to a faulty part, it’s best to get it fixed by a professional. Not all ovens are easy to access, and repairing them yourself can be dangerous. If the problem is more general or minor, you may be able to fix it yourself. However, if the problem is with the heating element, the door won’t close properly or there is smoke coming from the oven, you should definitely call a professional.
