Good quality oven for bread

[mymonkeyhusb]

Please let me know if you are satisfied with your electric table top oven. I plan on making my own bread and cakes and need an oven that can reach temps of 250 C or as close to it as possible. I don’t know what brands are good. I trust your personal experience over blogs.

Thank you very much.

We bought a Tefal last year,before that we had another brand but it was flimsy and did not last.

This one was a bit more expensive but we use it a lot and so far is working fine.

What is your budget? I have an Electrolux EOT70DB which I like okay and is a bit bigger than the Sharp I had before. It says it goes to 250C, but I do not think it actually does. It works fine for baking bread, cookies, cakes and making pizza and whatnot. Perfect for roasting meats and oven BBQing ribs.

I have a Smeg in my new house that claims it goes to 270C, but I have not used it yet.

Otto 60l is the one to get, sold under various brands for around 2,000bht.

Here's one I made earlier, the tin also helps,around 100bht.

After looking around I got this from Lazada....

It far exceeds the one I replaced & excels in bread & pizza.....I have fresh homemade toast every morning.....

It will accept 3 racks....It has separate temperature controls for upper and lower....It has a convection option that we hardly use....The 80 liter is a good size as it fits baking pans/cookie sheets.....

I wish I'd have found this one sooner....They also have 60 & 100 liter sizes.....

We are a family of 4 and it handles our demands easily.....Good to 250 on both elements.....I use at 200 unless browning something like trays of chicken wings.....

It has an interior light, which is handy.....

I'm an Electrolux fan, unless sily priced, and doesn't need to be.   Our table top is a major upgrade of the previous non Electrolux oven, that crapped out.   230°C max temp (?), but with fans on, may even hit 250°, maybe.

 

More than enough for any baking needs, as I make my own bread, almost weekly.   Along wth Cheescake, both requiring high temps.

 

Bread on max for 13 mins, then ~175° / 180° for 15-17mins, fans off.  Cheesecake need 200°C for ~25-30 mins.

 

Our 56L, but has been discontinued.

Why don't they have furniture, why do they cook outside?

My misses does all her cooking in a wok over an open flame.

Took me a year to teach her to use a microwave.

She still can't understand a fridge.

Because many use outside cooking techniques .....

Dishwashers are few also....I doubt there's any trash compactors around either.....

It's not commonly used in their cuisine. Stir fries, rice cooker ...

microwaves were invented for really busy people who didnt have more than 2 minutes to prepare a meal and frozen dinners. 

 

thais take the time to cook and don't rely on frozen dinners. until they get hitched up with a farang or they watch some american sitcom and decide to copy them i guess.

Or more usually go get it delivered in a plastic bag from the local food stand.

However, the usual Pad Thai, Pak Kapow etc only take minutes to stir fry.

When I asked my gf to do me a toast for the first time she did not know how to use a toaster.

 

Took her only one day to learn, thankfully.

What would they use it for?  I have eaten many many different Thai dishes, probably more than a hundred.  I don't think any required an oven.  For cooking fish, Thais prefer deep fried or steamed.  Some Thai recipes call for roasted shallots, onions, garlic, etc ... but those need constant tending so those are prepared over charcoal stoves.

 

The only Thai dish my wife has used an oven for was beef jerky and she just couldn't reproduce the quality we got from our favorite restaurant.  She does use our oven for many non Thai dishes.

Your one line post asked why Thais don't have an oven.  Rhetorical question?

My home is built next to my ILS, everybody uses my oven or stove, I wonder why?

       Hey ........

Thais have some great things that Falangs don't !

Like the small nozzle next to the toilet for the Falang to brush his teeth with 

while he's taking a dump.

I have a built-in but bought an Otto to help speed up production. (My wife makes bake goods that are sold during the holidays). I am unable to get an even result from one batch to the next. I can see where that baking tin might help with bread.

Bread needs something to keep it moist while cooking.

The tin does that with ease.

That's interesting.  All my inlaws are/were (RIP) great cooks and not one had an oven.  Even my SIL who lived in US for years didn't use one.

 

Do your inlaws cook Thai food in your oven?  Do they cook food from central Thailand?  All my relatives lived Bangkok, Ayuthya and Chachengsao were central cuisine reigns.
