Dependent and independent ovens: features and differences

Without exaggeration, the kitchen can be called the main room in the house. It can be a cozy corner for tea drinking, a meeting room for making important decisions, it can turn into a headquarters for discussing the international situation, and it can become a dining room. It is impossible to imagine celebrations and holidays without delicious baked meat with potatoes and aromatic pies prepared at home. To create these and many other culinary masterpieces, it is imperative to have a good oven. We will tell you about the features and differences between dependent and independent ovens.

The modern home appliance market today offers a huge selection of ovens of various models and brands. There are two types of ovens:

• independent;
• dependent.

An independent oven comes complete with a hob, but they can be placed in an apartment or house separately from each other on any surface, since they have an autonomous control system located in the panel. The option of choosing an independent cabinet is more suitable for apartments and houses with a large kitchen. An oven with a standard size of 60 centimeters wide and 50-55 centimeters deep will look more harmonious than a small one. An independent oven has many advantages:

• the location of the hob and oven is independent of each other, it is very convenient when traveling to a country house, it is enough to take one of the parts with you;
• due to the many functions available in modern independent ovens, you do not have to buy a hob;
• you can arrange the oven built into the kitchen set at any height convenient for the user.

This model also has some disadvantages:

• popular models from well-known manufacturers that guarantee quality are not cheap;
• the oven consumes a lot of electricity.

A dependent oven differs from an independent oven primarily in that it has a common oven and hob control panel located on the front of the oven. The hob and oven each have their own wires connected by a common plug. The cooking panel is connected to the network. It is better to consider this option for apartments and houses with a small kitchen, since in this case it is possible to build a dependent oven measuring 45x45 centimeters directly into the working surface of the table. Choosing a 45 cm oven is easier for small rooms, since it does not take up much space, so you can place it on any suitable horizontal surface. The model has its undeniable advantages:

• the oven is always located under the hob, the whole structure looks compact and does not take up much space - this is convenient for small kitchens;
• commissioning is carried out using one plug and one socket, which simplifies connection;
• buying a dependent oven saves money.

The oven also has its drawbacks:

• the hob and the oven are dependent on each other, if the common panel fails, both will not work;
• the source of energy is only electricity.

In addition to independent and dependent ovens powered by electricity, there are other types of ovens - gas. They have their own merits and demerits. Pros:

• work in the absence of electricity using imported cylinders in any room;
• affordable price;
• ease of use.

Disadvantages:

• high explosiveness;
• extinguishing function is not installed;
• positioning the burners only at the bottom of the oven prevents normal air circulation.
