Types of Traditional Ovens

We start with the traditional ovens though they are fast losing their significance on the wake of market capture by microwave ovens.

· Dutch ovens are three legged and are made of iron. They are good for cooking faster than in the home made earthen or other ovens.

· Most common type of ovens is those made using bricks. Larger sized brick ovens are used in roadside food joints where bread, meat and other things can be roasted or baked easily on these ovens. Home use ovens are usually smaller in size and use wood or coal as fuel.

Specific Purpose Ovens

In between the traditional ovens and modern microwave ovens stand the ovens that are used for specific purposes. Examples are range ovens, pizza ovens, and toaster ovens.

· Pizza ovens are specially built for making and baking pizzas and will have consistent but moderate heat inside.

· Toaster ovens has the capability of grilling food material as well and this makes it ideal for toasting, baking, or grilling meat, fish, and pizza.

Heating capacities in these ovens are medium to high.
