In addition to traditional steaming and frying, ovens have also appeared in more and more people's kitchens in recent years. But on social media, the reviews of the oven are as polarized as the Kindle: some say the oven is a kitchen tool, while others say it's another "dust-eating artifact".

Why you should have an oven: what do you do in the kitchen?
What role does an oven play in the kitchen, and what is the difference between it and a microwave oven or air fryer? Let's first take a rough look at the characteristics of these devices through a table.

Ovens are particularly suitable for:

1. Want to expand your kitchen skills

Have a certain cooking foundation (you won't be shocked when you see the "appropriate amount" in the recipe)
Discover new ways or kinds of cooking
2. Dissatisfied with traditional Chinese frying and other operations

In a hurry, the heat is not well grasped and the dark cuisine appears
I felt that traditional frying was still not healthy enough, and I wanted to try to change the cooking method and adjust the diet
3. Exquisite segmentation of the population

Fitness, weight loss and meals, you need to release "magic" on chicken breast, corn, sweet potatoes, etc.
You can easily buy or prepare your own oven-ready food, and you have less time to prepare your meals
Objectively speaking, if you live in a cramped place, or are located in the old city, and the electricity capacity is limited, it is indeed not suitable to buy an oven immediately, and the "brother" air fryer of the oven may be considered, it can also be used for cooking with less oil, and the cooking time is much shorter than the oven.1
