Take a look at how we test ovens

2016-02-13
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
