A freestanding oven is a cooking device with feet and sides, while a built-in oven must be built into a cabinet wall or countertop. They are generally cheaper and come in different sizes and styles, with various accessories available. Professional freestanding ovens can have six to eight burners and two ovens.
A freestanding oven is a cooking device where the cooking zone is integrated into the stove which has feet and sides. This is in contrast to a built-in oven, which must be built into a cabinet wall or countertop. A freestanding oven can be a home oven or a professional freestanding oven in a restaurant. Freestanding ovens can also have many accessories, such as warming trays, convection functions and meat probes.
A freestanding oven is generally cheaper than other types of ovens. It can be identified because the oven controls are typically located behind the burners in a backsplash that is 4 to 6 inches (about 10 to 15 cm) high. A freestanding oven has a less streamlined look thanks to the bulky backsplash, but it’s less difficult for kids to reach the controls. The oven door is level with the floor, which is less convenient than waist-high built-in wall-mounted oven doors.
More expensive choices might include slide-in and drop-in ovens. They have the same general layout as a freestanding oven with hob. They also fit on a countertop, but leave a much smaller footprint as they’re built into cabinets and countertops. They can also be built into a kitchen island or peninsula since they don’t have the backsplash to stick to. A freestanding oven has the advantage of being insulated from heat and can be placed safely near a wall or other flammable material.
Freestanding ovens are the most popular choice among kitchen professionals as they come in different widths. Six to eight burners are common in a professional freestanding oven with a range. They may also have two ovens, one gas and one electric. Various large commercial freestanding ranges are called “pianos” and can be very expensive.
Freestanding ovens come in a variety of sizes and styles. The most common colors are white, black, and stainless steel, but other colors can be custom-ordered for many makes and models. Freestanding cooktops for stoves typically have four to six burners and can have gas, electric, or induction hobs. Ovens can be gas or electric and can use traditional heating or convection.
For the amateur chef, there are many freestanding oven accessories available. For example, griddles, grills and fryers can be integrated into the unit. Child lock and Sabbath modes are also common features. A freestanding countertop oven is a good solution for removing cooking odors if the oven is in a non-typical hood.
