Looking for a new built-in electric oven for your kitchen? Then check out these three new state-of the-art appliances from AEG, packed with functions to give you brilliant cooking results. Even if you’re not usually a whiz in the kitchen, they’ll help you create everything from perfect roasts to great cakes and bakes. And if you’re not a fan of scrubbing ovens clean (who is?), you’ll love the self-cleaning function that does the dirty work for you!

AEG SteamBake Oven (BPS556020M)

Perfect for budding bakers and bread makers.

Key features:

• SteamBake function for golden bakes and crisp crusts.

• Pyrolytic cleaning turns food into ash to wipe away.

• Food sensor takes the guesswork out of cooking.

• Large 71 litre oven capacity gives you more room.

• Isofront® plus quadruple-glazed door keeps in the heat.

• Fan controlled defrosting. Quick and hygienic.

• LED digital display gives clear info at a glance.

• Base heat finishing. Keeps pastry crisp and can warm plates.

The AEG BPS556020M SteamBake Mult-Function Oven can handle lots of different cooking methods, but the SteamBake function is the star of the show. You can use it for anything that rises - doughs, pastries, Yorkshire puds and more - so it’s the perfect choice for any budding bake that wants better results. Simply put in some fresh dough, and the steamy interior evens out the heat inside to make the dough rise smoothly. The humidity then turns into dry heat, to create a golden colour and delicious crusts.

The oven also comes with a Food Sensor that measures the core temperature of a dish during cooking. Stick the probe into your roast meat, say how you want it done – rare, medium, well done – and you’ll get the perfect result without even opening the door to check.

It’s time to talk about cleaning. Ditch those harsh chemicals and throw away your marigolds, because this is a self-cleaning oven. Switch on the pyrolytic cleaning function and all that nasty dirt, grease and grimy food in the oven gets incinerated. You can then easily wipe the ash away with a damp cloth (once the oven has cooled down).

This oven has the same headline hitting features as the AEG SteamBake oven above. SteamBake, food sensor, pyrolytic cleaning are all present and correct. And the thing that sets it apart? HotAir.

HotAir is the name of this oven’s new convection system, and (like its name may suggest) it circulates hot air evenly all through the cavity. This makes the oven heat up faster, and it means cooking temperatures can be reduced by up to 20%. So it’ll saves you time and energy (which should also help cut down your electricity bills).

SteamCrisp is the thing that sets this oven apart from the others. It’s basically a clever combo of steam cooking and conventional cooking, and it’s perfect for roasting and baking. Steam is added to traditional oven heat, so while everything is crisp and golden on the outside, the inside is juicy, succulent and full of flavour. Yum!
