Your guide to choosing your next oven
The idea of choosing kitchen appliances might seem easy. Most people don’t give much thought to their oven since it was probably there when they moved in.
But once you start the search for a new oven, you might be overwhelmed by the number of decisions you need to make. That’s why we’re here to help you work out which oven is right for you. Let’s get started.
What kind of oven do you need?
Well, that depends on how you’re likely to use it. Are you often short on time? Do you have limited space to work with? Are you cooking for a big family? Are you looking to step up your home cooking game?
Your kitchen goals will influence what oven features will work best for you – asking yourself these questions can help you decide what’s most important to you.
If you’re already unsure, you can book in a free product demonstration with our NEFF kitchen experts – they will work with you to understand your cooking and oven needs.
How many ovens do you need?
The number of ovens you should buy comes down to the type of cooking you need to do and the volume of food you need to make.
How many dishes do you usually need to prepare at once? If you’ve got a big family, have a family member with food intolerances, or host a lot of dinner parties, investing in two ovens might be a smart solution for your cooking needs.
With the NEFF Flex Design range, you can stack two (or even three!) NEFF ovens on top of each other or side by side for a seamless combination. You can add coloured trims and handles to create a holistic kitchen style and add your personal flair to the space. For example, you might stack a compact oven with a Full Steam oven to expand your cooking options.
Should you buy a steam oven?
At NEFF, you’ve got a few options when it comes to steam ovens.
For die-hard advocates of steam, the Full Steam oven combines 100% steam with conventional oven functions. Use the Full Steam function when you want to cook with precision, like if you want to make a creamy bacon and egg risotto.
If you want to use steam every now and then to improve your dishes, a NEFF oven with Added Steam allows you to add right amount of steam when the recipe calls for it. This function is for those making the perfect sourdough bread or succulent pork dishes, making sure that they never dry out.
Cooking tip
As part of the new NEFF Flex Design range, some ovens come with the Steam Jet feature, which manually adds steam to conventional heating functions. With Steam Jet you can control when to quickly fill your oven with steam, ideal for tender bread with a crispy crust or a juicy Sunday roast.
You can’t go past the NEFF Slide & Hide® oven door
NEFF’s famed Slide & Hide® feature helps keep your kitchen accessible, safe and neat with a unique fully-retractable oven door. This one-of-a-kind feature allows you to tuck it away to get better access to the oven cavity, keep it out of the way of busy bodies, and avoid drops and spills with more space to move around safely.
What are built-in microwaves?
For those home cooks who are always in a hurry, the NEFF built-in microwave combines all the fast convenience of microwave ovens with the sophisticated German quality that NEFF is renowned for. Plus, it hardly takes up any space, giving you more room to deck out your kitchen with the essentials and less clutter on your countertop.
What are self-cleaning ovens?
Self-cleaning ovens come with functionality that help you to wipe away food debris and stains without the need for harsh chemicals
NEFF ovens with the Easy Clean function are eco-friendly and make for a fast clean, while the Pyrolytic function does the work for you – taking self-cleaning ovens to a whole new level. This function doesn’t use any harsh chemicals or grease as the oven will burn all the residue to ashes, which you can simply wipe away with a cloth.
Cleaning up after a dinner party can put a real damper on your cooking experience. But with NEFF’s state-of-the-art self-cleaning features, you can hand over the hard work to the technology and get back to your guests.
