Self-Cleaning Options
For the busy home owner, having an oven with self-cleaning capabilities can be a huge time saving. Self-cleaning cycles can use steam or high temperatures to get rid of food residues and soil. The steam cycle is designed for light soil "between" cleanings, whereas the high-temperature cycles work to eliminate even stubborn burnt-on foods and smoke. Some models require that the oven is preheated prior to beginning a self-cleaning cycle; others will automatically preheat during the clean.
It's important that you carefully follow the instructions of the manufacturer when using the self-cleaning feature. Heating elements and the door of the oven are extremely hot during a self-cleaning process. Both could be damaged. Some models require that the grid for brokers, the pan for brokers, or any other cookware be removed prior running the self-cleaning cycle.
It's also important to be aware that both steam and high-heat self-cleaning appliances produce unpleasant odors that can remain in the kitchen for a long period of time. These cycles can cause irritation to pets, children and people with respiratory issues. It is recommended to start the cycle before the grime has accumulated in large quantities. Also, ventilate the room as the oven is working.
Although it's not recommended to use the self-cleaning option frequently, most people do find that having an oven with this feature makes life simpler. They are typically more expensive than those without self-cleaning options. If you're on a tight budget but desire the convenience of an oven that has this feature, think about buying an oven that has the ability to cancel the self-cleaning cycle once it has begun. You can save money and protect your oven from damage by purchasing a model that allows you to stop the self-cleaning process after it has started.

Energy Efficiency
Having an oven without stovetop in your kitchen can help you save space and money. Electric ovens are more efficient in terms of energy consumption than traditional gas stoves and ovens, especially if you cook multiple dishes at once. The oven's design is efficient and uses less energy per cooking cycle and is more evenly distributed than stoves.
Many models also come with self-cleaning technology built into them which cleans your oven quickly and effectively, reducing energy usage. The process removes stubborn stains without overheating the appliance. The result is an oven that is clean and fresh, ready to cook your next dish.
The insulated construction of the oven reduces the amount used to heat it as well as the heat that escapes when cooking. This will help you save money on your electric bills and help keep your home at a comfortable temperature throughout the day. A clean oven is able to heat up quicker than one that's full of burnt casseroles, and thus consumes less energy in its first use, as well.
Consider purchasing an oven that has the ENERGY STAR label to further increase your oven's energy efficiency. This seal signifies that the appliance has met the stringent standards for performance set by the federal government and is designed to be eco conscious. When you are considering a new oven ask an electrician to make sure that the electrical system in your home can support the appliance's power requirements. Also, ensure the unit is installed correctly and used with care to avoid malfunctions and safety hazards.
