What basic oven options can I expect?
Depending on whether you go with gas, electric, or the convection option, you should find the following basic features:
Self-cleaning cycle: Burns off oven residue and build up using high heat. Self-cleaning ovens also tend to have more insulation. Some models come with a self-cleaning countdown display.
Racks: Most ovens offer five or more oven rack positions.
Smart timers: Some models now offer programmable timing options, such as start cook and stop cook, to automatically turn off the oven when the timer buzzes.
Automatic door lock: Models may include an automatic lock for the self-cleaning cycle and some come with child locks, too.
Broil: Models may come with broil setting or high and low broil settings, for meats of different cuts.
Window: Many models now come with a large, clear window so you don't have to open the oven door and lose heat to check on your food.
Touchpad controls: Beyond the basic dial, models that come with touchpad controls allow more control over temperature and timer settings or for custom cooking options. Others allow you to save your favorite recipes.
