Advantages of Electric Ovens

In general, electric ovens offers these advantages:

  • Electric units are more efficient, adding less heat to the kitchen that must be removed by the kitchen cooling system.
  • Electric units require less maintenance, require less ventilation, and are more portable.Electric units are more efficient, adding less heat to the kitchen that must be removed by the kitchen cooling system.
  • Electric ovens, especially those with electronic controls, deliver more consistent run quality and require less operator supervision. They are also considered to be cleaner and more flexible (especially where maintaining oven humidity levels is important). Kitchen design and modification may also be simplified because venting may be unnecessary.

Energy and Money Saving Tips

Here are a few common-sense operating tips that save money with an oven.

  • The efficiency of ovens depends upon how well they are constructed, and insulation levels and quality are significant factors. Consider this in purchasing decisions, since some inexpensive ovens have little-to-no insulation in the oven door and will cost more to operate.
  • Ovens consume considerable energy when left on, even if no food is being cooked. Energy is lost through the oven walls and leakage around the door opening. These losses can be a significant operating expense, so turn all oven equipment off or lower temperatures during non-operating intervals. This saves energy, reduces cost, and increases oven life.The efficiency of ovens depends upon how well they are constructed, and insulation levels and quality are significant factors.

  • When a food service production does not call for a full sized oven, consider a half-size oven that may operate at much lower cost.
