How to choose an electric oven in Saudi Arabia: Buying Guide


Arguably, cooking has changed the course of human civilisation. Making raw food easier to digest by cooking it has freed up so much time that it directly led to the evolution of the pre-modern Neanderthals into the modern men of today.  Even today, a large part of our scientific research and development has to do with how to increase food production, or how to cook more efficiently. One of the inventions that has made this much easier, in the age of kitchen appliances and online shopping, is the electric oven. While previously made of clay, or having to cook in alternative methods over a gas or wood flame, the electric oven is a safe, efficient way to cook food that required no attendance or supervision.

In Saudi Arabia, electric ovens are a relatively new thing, and consequently have not been familiar to the public consciousness for a long time. However, they are excellent devices, and a huge timesaver. They are efficient, cook food evenly, and can maintain consistent temperatures for long times, for cooking heavy meat based dishes with stunning simplicity. Therefore, this article has been written as a guide to picking up an oven, including guidelines on Oven prices in Saudi Arabia and how to pick the correct unit based on multiple factors. Here are some things you should watch out for when buying an electric oven!

1.       Capacity: The capacity of an electric oven is pretty clearly an important factor, since that is how you know how much food you can put in. Be aware of the size of your cookware as well, since some cookware with large sized handles can be a pain to insert in an oven that is too small. Typically, a small oven is around 30L or below. These ovens are perfectly adequate for occasional use, but you’d want something larger if you are a regular user, or are cooking for a family. Something around 60L is ideal.

2.       Special Features:The oven market is loaded with all kinds of special features, here are some you may want to watch out for:

a.       Rotisserie: This features a rotating skewer in the oven compartment itself, that rotates constantly. This can be a great way to cook meats evenly, ensuring even browning on all sides.
b.      Convection: a new entrant in the world of kitchen appliances in Saudi Arabia, the convection feature is a fan that continuously circulates air inside the oven, leading to better air circulation, and lower cooking times.

3.       Temperature: All ovens are not created equal, and some are hotter than others. If you intend to cook food that requires high temperatures often, such as pizza, or require lower temperatures often, such as for dehydrating mushrooms, you would do well to make sure of the temperature range of your oven

4.       Cost: Electric oven prices in Saudi Arabiahave decreased over the last couple years as they have become more mainstream, but they are still expensive. You do pay a lot for an expensive model, but maintenance and service are likely to be better down the line. If you intend to upgrade soon, or live in a rented accommodation and might move, it might make sense to just pick up a cheaper model and buy a better one later.

Hopefully, you’re now ready to buy an oven, and educated on the most important features ti watch out for. Oven prices in KSA are very reasonable right now, making it a great time to buy. Opt for buying from a kitchen appliances online store and you won’t even have to lift a finger, with straight up doorstep delivery! Your oven will come right to your house and you will be cooking delicious Chicken Kabsa in no time!
