here at cnet I use a mix of data taste
tests and a little bit of observation to
decide which oven is good for your home
when I just arranged I split the test
into two areas there's test that happen
in the oven and test the heaven on the
stovetop now in the oven I do a few bake
tests and what I'm trying to see is how
evenly an oven cooks now our double rack
biscuit test will show us what areas of
an oven are a little hotter or a little
cooler than others this double rec test
also lets me find out how well the
convection fan works now most ovens
nowadays have a convection fan in the
back that circulates heat for more even
baking but we don't know until we test
and one of my favorite tests for the
oven is roasting a chicken now this lets
us see how well it can crispy chicken
skin on the outside while leaving it
nice and moist and juicy and you'd be
surprised the different results we see
from oven to oven and finally in the
oven I broil hamburgers now what I'm
trying to do is find out how well the
broiler can put a nice crisp char on
burgers with a medium inside the first
test I perform on the cooktop is a boil
water test basically I want to see how
fast a burner can bring one hundred and
twelve ounces of water to a rolling boil
then I want to see how well a burner can
hold a temperature so I cook a can of
tomato soup and track the temperature
for 20 minutes to see how steady that
temperature stays so after all the
baking and boiling and broiling and
everything else in between I put
together a review and make a
recommendation about whether or not this
oven is going to fit into your home
