Stainless steel, black, white, the built-in oven allows this appliance to blend aesthetically into the fitted kitchen, whatever the color. According to Gifam, the built-in oven only equips 56% of French households (2017), but is increasingly attractive. In 2018, 1,181,000 devices were sold. But choosing an oven is not easy, especially since prices range from €150 for entry-level models without convection (or pulsed) heat to over €2,000 for a multifunction, energy class appliance. A+ or even more efficient, capable of injecting steam, equipped with an electronic programmer, touch screen...

Several trends emerge. Mechanical controls are becoming increasingly rare and are giving way to more precise electronic settings... To further assist the user, cooking assistants (or even recipe guides) are fitted to certain models. A multifunction built-in oven releases steam during cooking for tasty results. Finally, some models are now connected.

Muffles are also gaining in capacity and a product with a volume of less than 65 liters is rare. Nowadays, we easily exceed 70 liters. What's more, manufacturers try to produce energy-efficient devices that are placed in the lowest possible energy class, A++ or even A+++.

As we can see, the choice of a built-in oven is not made lightly. Natural convection or convection heat? Pyrolysis or catalysis? Mechanical or electronic controls? Wheels or touchscreen? Our comparator will help you avoid making... an oven.
