The Benefits of a Single Oven Fan
Usually your oven will inform you that it is ready to turn on the control panel when it reaches its set temperature. It may take a while for the oven to cool.
Fans are well-known for their versatility. They provide even heat distribution, faster cooking times and many other benefits.
Even heat distribution
From a Sunday roast to the perfect grilled cheese sandwich an oven can be used to make a variety of culinary creations. The kind of cooking you use and the method you employ to use your oven can affect the finished quality of your dishes, so understanding the oven's settings is crucial to making the most of it.
The first thing you'll want to know is whether your oven has fans or not. Listening to the sound of your oven is a great way to determine if your oven is equipped with a fan. A single fan will emit an unmistakable whirring sound when it's activated. You can also examine the exterior of your stove for a symbol that indicates fan capability. It is usually small-sized fan enclosed in a square without lines or a more compact fan enclosed by an arc.
A fan-equipped oven will usually have additional symbols to identify other features, such as an pyrolytic cleaning system, or child lock. Pyrolytic cleaning is a quick and simple way to clean your oven, using high temperatures that turn the residue into the form of ash, making it simpler to wipe down. This is a great feature for restaurants with a lot of customers. Many major oven brands call this feature activeClean, for example.
single oven integrated may also find a setting that is known as "fan with bottom heating", which is perfect for creating crispy bases for pizzas and pastries. This setting combines the uniform distribution of heat from fans with the intense heat from the oven's bottom, making sure that your dishes cook quickly and evenly.

Faster cooking
When hot air is blowing directly onto food, rather than just surrounding it, food items tend to cook faster. Moving air accelerates the transfer of heat, which happens naturally when temperatures are convergence. It's similar to the wind chill effect that you might feel during a cold winter day. You will feel colder faster.
A fan oven can cut cooking times by up to 25 percent in comparison to conventional ovens. In addition, it could also reduce pre-heating times by as much as 50 percent (ideal for quick dinners).
The use of fans to circulate heat in the oven also makes for faster and more evenly cooked food. The circulating air prevents hot and cold spots in the oven, and also on each tray. This leads to consistently cooked food. They are often employed for tasks like baking where consistency is crucial in regards to cooking temperatures and times.
While the speedy cooking capabilities of a single oven fan are beneficial but it's important to note that they could require longer time to achieve the same results as conventional ovens when used for the same recipes. It is recommended to follow the cooking temperatures and times that are suggested by the recipe.
Single oven fan models are perfect for those who want a range which can handle many cooking tasks. If you prefer the flexibility of multi-functional models, then you might think about a double oven.

Reduced energy consumption
The fan in your oven circulates hot air around your food to cook it quickly and evenly. You can cook at a lower temperature and still get the same results. This can reduce energy consumption. In normal use, an oven consumes between 2,000 and 3,500 watts. This can vary greatly depending on what you cook in the microwave. The energy consumption of your oven could also be affected by the size, the cooking time and the type of heating that you use.
If you cook in your oven regularly the fan can lower your energy usage. This is particularly true if you cook for a longer time at a lower temperature.
A single electric oven with a built-in fan can cut energy use by up to 40%. The fan lets cooking at lower temperatures and for a shorter time. This can reduce your electric bill and also can have a positive impact on the environment.
Modern cooking appliances are designed to provide maximum energy efficiency. A single oven fan can to reduce energy consumption and keep the temperature of your oven. However, even if have an efficient oven, the use of the fan can further decrease your energy use.
An electric oven of standard for instance, consumes between 2,000 watts to 3,500 power when it is in use. However, a fan oven could reduce this amount to less than half of that. The fan consumes only 400 watts, whereas the surface elements of an electric range can consume up to 6 kilowatts.
The power sharing method in use today allows the appliance to reduce peak power consumption by selectively coupling the oven elements to either L2 or neutral line N using the demand response switch arrangement (relay 200 in this instance, but it could be any other electromechanical power switch device). single built in fan oven with grill is achieved by controlling relay contacts 210 in response to the utility signal.
Convenience
If you're cooking multiple dishes in a conventional oven the heat will decrease as it rises from the lower shelves. This causes the dishes that are higher in the oven to cook faster than those on the lower shelves. In a single-fan oven, this is not a problem as the hot air circulates throughout the entire cavity. This means that every dish is cooked at the same time and equally.
The circulation of hot air speeds up the cooking process, as it eliminates hot and cold spots. This means food can be cooked faster than in conventional ovens which will save you precious kitchen time.
A fan-powered oven can also be used at lower temperatures, which allows you to cook your meals at a lower price. This is because the fan is powered via an electrical switch that activates when the oven temperature reaches a certain level. This means that once the temperature has dropped the fan will turn off automatically.
You can also select the fan and element only setting that gives you both the benefits of an electric oven, with the fan function and also being capable of grilling on top. This is ideal for cooking pizzas and open faced sandwiches, as the base can be cooked using the fan, and the top can be directly is radiated. The result is a perfect combination between a crisp and soft texture.
It is not necessary to turn on your oven in order to check if it has a fan. The majority of models have an obvious symbol that indicates this. Look out for a three pronged fan or a line that includes the word fan, since these will clearly show that your appliance is equipped with a fan.
