How to choose an oven: gas, electric, built—in - a complete guide from Loretto

The oven is the heart of the kitchen.
The smell of crispy chicken, soft sponge cake or fresh pita bread starts right here.

But how do you choose an oven that doesn't burn, doesn't over-dry, and fits perfectly into the kitchen?
Loretto has prepared a complete guide to choosing an oven, whether you are a professional chef or a home gourmet.

1. What kind of ovens are there?

2. Electric oven is the No. 1 choice in 2025

✅ Advantages:

  • 🔥 Uniform heating — from all sides

  • 🌀 Convection — the fan spreads the heat, the baking is perfect.

  • ⏱️ Many modes: top/bottom, grill, defrost, pizza

  • 🌡️ Accurate thermostat - set 180°C, got 180°C

  • 🔒 More protection — auto-off, child lock

❗ Cons:

  • Depends on the power grid

  • Consumes more energy than gas

  • Requires good wiring (especially models with a grill and convection)

3. Gas oven — is it worth choosing?

✅ Advantages:

  • 🔥 Instant heating

  • 💸 Gas is cheaper than electricity

  • 🧆 Excellent at cooking meat and tortillas

❌ Cons:

  • There is no precise temperature control

  • Uneven heating (more often from below)

  • Without ventilation, dishes can burn from the bottom and remain raw from above.

  • Fewer functions (no defrost, timer, auto-heating)

4. Is it built-in or freestanding?

🔳 Embedded:

  • Modern appearance

  • It can be installed at a convenient height — without tilting.

  • Can be combined with any hob

📦 Freestanding (as part of a stove):

  • It is more common in old kitchens.

  • Depends on the position of the hob

  • Less ergonomic

👉 Loretto's recommendation: built—in is the best choice in 2025, especially in new kitchens

5. Is convection needed or not?

Convection is a fan that distributes hot air evenly.
This is especially important for:

  • Pastries (pies, biscuits, bread)

  • Meat (chicken, beef, casseroles)

  • Simultaneous cooking on two levels

✅ If you plan to cook frequently, choose a convection oven.
It's not just an option — it's the quality of your dishes.
