Mini oven

Mini oven vs kitchen oven

A mini oven is, as the name suggests, a smaller version of the regular kitchen oven, which can be found in most kitchens.

The mini oven heats up faster, as it is much smaller than a kitchen oven and therefore does not require as much time and effort to heat up.

For example, if you just need to heat up a frozen pizza, it can easily be done in the mini oven, rather than turning on the kitchen oven, which will take much longer.

On the other hand, if you need to make several pizzas at once, it would make the most sense to use a kitchen oven, as there can be several pizzas at once.

3 quick reasons to use a mini oven instead of a kitchen oven.

• Uses less power
• Shorter time to warm up
• Easy to clean

5 things to consider before buying a mini oven

Before you go out and invest in a mini oven, there are many things to consider to find the right mini oven.

The points below should therefore help you choose the right mini oven that suits your needs and budget.

Mini ovens come in many different sizes and with different accessories, so there are many things to consider before you finally decide to buy a mini oven.

#1 The size of the mini oven

The size of a mini oven is measured in liters. At avXperten we have everything from 9 liters to 60 liters, so there are many different sizes to choose from.

The size of a mini oven determines how much content you can put in it.

For example, if you have a small family that can easily share one package of pork roast, you can cook it in the mini oven instead of using the kitchen oven.

Not only is it easier to make it in the mini oven, but cleaning is also much easier than cleaning the kitchen oven, which can take several hours.

With one of the smaller 9-liter mini ovens, you won't be able to do much other than heat up frozen pizza and bread, as they don't require that much space in a mini oven.

On the other hand, if you want to make roast pork or grilled chicken, etc., you need to go to the larger mini ovens, where you also get more equipment.

Here is what you can do with the larger mini ovens.

• Pork roast
• Baking
• Creamy potatoes / French fries
• Lasagna
• Rotisserie chicken

#2 The complete mini oven with hobs

If you live in a home with either a smaller kitchen or a mini oven with hobs, a mini oven with hobs can be a really good addition to your home.

A mini oven with hotplates makes it versatile and allows you to cook many more dishes.

It is perfect for taking with you on your caravan, so you have the opportunity to wash up the large dishes that are often limited in caravans.

The mini oven is also perfect for smaller apartments that don't have a stove or similar, as you can quickly convert it with a mini oven with hotplates.

#3 Mini oven wattage consumption

A mini oven requires more watts than most of the other kitchen appliances found in the kitchen.

Most of our mini ovens use about 1000 W, which is also the standard for most mini ovens. In contrast to a regular oven, which uses an average of about 3500 W.

Therefore, there is a lot of money to save by using the mini oven instead of the kitchen oven for smaller dishes, such as frozen pizzas, flutes and oven-baked French fries.

#4 Included parts for rotisserie chicken grilling and more

When you buy a mini oven, you often get accessories. The typical accessories are a rack and a baking tray, which are used to place the food on.

If you buy one of the larger mini ovens, you usually also get rotisserie equipment.

Rotisserie is a cooking technique often used to make grilled chicken. The technique involves grilling something over an open fire while the food rotates over the fire.

However, it doesn't necessarily have to be an open fire. It can easily be done in the mini oven, as they give off enough heat to grill the chicken tender and juicy.

The chicken on the skewer will automatically rotate in the mini oven, so that the chicken is evenly grilled and gets a crispy skin, but at the same time also retains the juice inside.

Of course, you can explore what you want to make with the rotisserie. It doesn't necessarily have to be grilled chicken every time.

#5 Mini oven vs air fryer

There have been many different ones that have gradually come along that are quietly reducing the use of a kitchen oven.

The mini oven has become very popular over the last few years and can be found in more and more Danish homes.

Both the mini oven and the air fryer are very similar to each other and can actually handle more or less the same tasks.

However, there are a few things where the mini oven overshadows the air fryer. For example, the air fryer cannot handle liquid foods.

For example, you can't really make lasagna, creamed potatoes, or other liquid dishes in an air fryer like you can with the mini oven.

This is because the air fryer only has a basket, which cannot hold liquid. However, it is better for making French fries, as it uses hot air, which is a healthier solution.

The mini oven comes with a baking tray that can be used to make lasagna and creamed potatoes.

The air fryer is generally also much smaller than the mini oven and has a smaller capacity. The air fryer can hold a little over 10 liters, while the mini oven can hold 60 liters.

This also means you can make more and larger dishes with a mini oven than you can with an air fryer.
