The Benefits of a Single Oven Fan

Typically the oven will notify you by illuminating the control panel once it reaches the temperature it was set for. It may take some time for your oven to cool down.
Fans are popular because of their versatility. They provide uniform heat distribution, faster cooking times and other advantages.
Even heat distribution
An oven can be used to make various dishes such as the perfect Sunday roast to the perfect grilled cheese sandwich. The type of cooking you do and the way you make use of your oven will affect the finished quality of your food, so understanding your oven's settings is key to getting the most of it.
The first thing you'll need to determine if your oven has fans or not. This can be done by ear - one fan will make a distinct whirring sound when it's activated. You can also examine the exterior of your oven to find a specific symbol that indicates the power of its fan. It's typically tiny fan that is enclosed in a square with no lines or a smaller fan enclosed by the shape of a circle.
A fan-equipped oven will usually have additional symbols to represent other features like an pyrolytic cleaning system, or child lock. Pyrolytic cleaning employs high temperatures to burn away dirt, making it easier to clean. It's a great option for busy eateries, and many big oven brands have their own names for this feature, like Siemens' activeClean.
There is also a setting called "fan with bottom heat" that is perfect for making crispy bases on pizzas and pastries. This setting combines an even heat distribution from a fan, and a concentrated heat from the base of the oven, allowing it to cook your dishes quickly and evenly.
A timer can be set to make the oven stop cooking at a particular date and time. This is handy if you're cooking multiple meals at the at the same time, and you want to be sure that they all cook simultaneously.
Additionally, some ovens come with a function called 'fanned grill' which is ideal to cook poultry and meat. It combines the fast heating of a fan and the concentrated heat of the bottom part of the oven to cook food more quickly and evenly.
Faster cooking
When hot air is blowing directly onto food, as opposed to just surrounding it, food items tend to cook faster. The movement of air speeds up the process of heat transfer, which happens naturally when temperatures are convergent. It's a little like the wind chill effect you could feel on a cold winter day - you feel colder much more quickly than you would on a calm day with similar temperature.
A fan oven can reduce the cooking time by up to 25% compared with conventional ovens. It can also cut down the pre-heating time by as much as 50 percent (ideal for quick suppers).
The use of the fan to circulate heat inside the oven also allows for quicker and more evenly cooked meals. This is because the circulating air is able to prevent hot or cold spots inside the oven and across the various tray, resulting in meals that are cooked consistently. Fan ovens are used for tasks such as baking, where consistency is important in terms of cooking temperatures and time.
It is essential to keep in mind that, while the single oven fan's fast cooking capabilities are beneficial however, they might require longer to produce the same results as conventional ovens if used for the same recipes. It is therefore recommended to follow the cooking temperatures and timings recommended by your recipe.
Single oven models provide an ideal solution if you're looking for a range capable of handling many cooking tasks. If, however, you prefer the versatility of multi-functional models, then you may think about a double oven.
Our top-rated Lamona built-under double fan oven is an excellent choice for family homes or landlords who want to kit out kitchens for flatshare. It is simple to open and load, and can be installed in small spaces. It has a grill and a fan oven and has plenty of space to bake, roast and much more. It is finished in a chic stainless-steel look and is programmed to help you get your dinner on the table quicker.
Energy consumption is reduced
The fan in your traditional oven circulates hot air around the food to cook it efficiently and more evenly. You can cook at lower temperatures and still get the same results. This helps reduce energy use. In normal use the average oven uses between 2,000 and 3,500 watts. Of course, this could vary significantly depending on how you cook your food in the oven. The energy consumption of your oven could also be affected by the size, the cooking time and the type of heating you employ.
However, if you utilize your oven on a regular basis it is possible for the fan to help to cut down on your overall energy consumption. This is especially true if you cook for a longer time at a lower heat.
A single electric oven equipped with a built-in fan can reduce energy use by up to 40 percent. The fan lets you cook at lower temperatures and for a shorter amount of time. Electric single ovens will lower your electricity bill and have a positive effect on the environment.
The majority of modern kitchen appliances are designed to be as energy efficient as they can be. A single oven fan can help to reduce energy consumption and keep an even temperature in your oven. However, even if you have an efficient oven, the use of the fan can further reduce the energy consumption of your home.
A typical electric oven, for example, uses between 2,000 and 3,500 watts when it is being used. But a fan oven can reduce this to about half that amount. The fan consumes only 400 watts. The elements on the surface of an electric range could consume up to 6 kilowatts.
The present power-sharing system allows the appliance to reduce consumption during peak times by separating oven components to either neutral line N or L2 through the demand response switch (relay 200 in this instance, however it could also be an electromechanical power switching device). This is accomplished by controlling relay contacts 210 in response to the utility signal.
Convenience
As the heat rises from the lower shelves, it will decrease when you cook several dishes. The dishes at the top of the oven will cook faster than those that are at the bottom. In a single-fan oven this is not a problem since the hot air circulates through the entire cavity. This means that all dishes are cooked at the same time and equally.
In addition to uniform heat distribution and even heat distribution, the circulation of hot air increases the speed of cooking by removing hot and cold spots in the oven. This allows food to be cooked faster than in a traditional oven, which saves you time.
A fan-powered oven can also be used at lower temperatures, which allows you to cook meals at a lower cost. The reason for this is that the fan is powered by a thermoelectric switch that only comes on when the oven temperature reaches a set point. Once the temperature has cooled down it will shut off.
Alternately, you can choose the fan and element only option, which provides both the advantages of having an electric oven with the fan function and also being able to grill on top. This is a great option if you're cooking pizzas or open-faced sandwiches because it allows the base of the dish to be cooked using a the fan, and the top to be cooked with directly radiating heat, providing an ideal blend of crispness and softness.
It is not necessary to power up your oven to identify whether it has a fan since the majority of models will have an obvious symbol on the control panel that indicates this. You can tell if a fan is present by looking for a fan with three prongs or an icon with the word "fan". Conventional ovens might have different symbols or lack the fan icon altogether.
