The Ikea oven that the OCU recommends for its quality and price (less than 250 euros)

The oven is still essential for all types of preparations: pizzas, roast chickens, whole fish or pastries; even more so now if possible, as the Christmas holidays approach. “The good news is that it can be renewed for less than 300 euros according to a analysis of 28 ovens carried out by the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU).

IKEA Matälskare. Price: 229 euros. Useful volume: 64 liters. Good results in cooking, especially in baking. In addition, it is one of the fastest ovens to preheat (just 5 minutes) and consumes very little electricity. Weak points: lacks pyrolytic cleaning, door locking system and telescopic rails.

“In the event that there are small children at home and to avoid scares, OCU recommends purchasing an oven that allows you to lock the door. In this case, it doesn't hurt that it is a pyrolytic model, since then the door is especially insulated from heat,” the Organization explains.

“As for its consumption, it is acceptable: in a home where it is used four times a week (to prepare pizza, chicken, fish and a bun), Its weight on the electricity bill adds up to four euros per month. One euro less if it does not have pyrolytic cleaningwhich is what this function consumes every time it is used,” they say.
