Rating of the best mini ovens

A mini oven is a small portable electric oven that offers grilling, cooking, defrosting and many more functions.

Mini ovens can be used both as a replacement for a standard oven and as an addition to it in situations where using a cabinet is impractical, for example, when you need to cook a small portion or reheat a dish from the refrigerator.

First of all, you need to decide what you want to use the device for:

• for heating and cooking pizza and sandwiches - the most compact and low-power models, often called “roasters”, which do not have a wide range of functions, are suitable;
• for foods that require extremely low temperatures (eg yoghurt) or high temperatures (eg for crispy crust) - select an appliance with a suitable temperature range.
• If the oven will be used to create culinary masterpieces, as well as complex and quirky dishes, you should opt for efficient, modern models with electronic control and built-in automatic programs;

Other parameters to look out for before purchasing a mini oven are as follows:

• power - 600 W is enough for reheating, and for cooking dishes that require high-temperature processing, it is worth considering models with a power of at least 2000 W;
• control - traditional mechanical (understandable, simple and trouble-free) or electronic (more complex, allowing more cooking options, but also more demanding and prone to malfunctions);
• The inner coating is something that is not worth saving on: the coating must be stable, reliable and durable;
• Temperature range - most models of mini ovens operate in the range from 100 ° C to 220 ° C, but there are also models with a minimum temperature of 30 ° C (ideal for making yoghurt and pie) and 280 ° C (for crispy chicken pieces);
• Additional functions - a timer that allows you not to worry about food being too hot, a thermostat for precise temperature setting, a fan or convection for more efficient cooking, lighting, self-cleaning, spit, grill, etc.
• Volume - from 8-12 liters, which is enough for infrequent use by 1-2 people, up to 30-40 liters, completely replacing a standard oven;
