This week Life.com reported on the top 30 dumbest inventions and we were not surprised to see that the External Turkey Roaster, 1966, made the list!
Fortunately, we’ve come a long way since then and our modern ovens are fitted with some pretty advanced technology.
Take the Hotpoint Openspace, for example. This new appliance has revolutionised kitchen design as it offers 30% more space than a typical single oven. It even comes with a dividing shelf so it can be used like a double oven.
The invention of the steam oven means that our cooking has become healthier than ever before. They offer a number of benefits including the retention of vitamins and minerals in food while cooking.
One of the hottest kitchen trends for this year is for a ‘bank’ of ovens. Rather than choose a double oven, it looks much more contemporary to install two single ovens adjacent to one another. Many manufacturers are catching on and are now designing their appliances with this in mind, and making sure that the control panels line up horizontally.
Pyroletic (self cleaning) ovens are also growing in popularity, such as the AEG B57415, which is one of Magnet’s most popular self cleaning single ovens.
