What Capacities & Sizes Do Ovens Come In?

If you’re re-designing your kitchen or thinking about upgrading your oven, the size and capacity of your new built-in oven is one of the first things you should be considering. Here’s how each type of oven could suit your everyday needs:

Built-In Single Ovens

Built-in single ovens make for the perfect cooking appliance to carry out most everyday cooking tasks:

Being 60cm in height, you can place them anywhere you like in your kitchen as long as you have the right fuel or power source: from built-in at eye level into your kitchen cabinet column, to built-under your kitchen’s work surface.
Perfect for families who don’t have enough space for a double oven but still wish to benefit from a large capacity oven, Beko’s range of single ovens have capacities ranging from 65L to an extra-large 82L.

For more information, explore our full range of built-in single ovens.

Built-In Compact Ovens

Built-in compact ovens are ideal when space is at a premium:

When the space in your kitchen doesn’t give you many options, the flexible 45cm height of a compact oven means you can build it into your kitchen’s cabinet columns anywhere you like.
Perfect for when you need to cook for only yourself and your partner, Beko’s compact ovens come with a handy capacity of 40L.

Built-In Double Ovens

Built-in double ovens are excellent for when there are many mouths to feed, allowing you to cook more than one dish at the same time:

If you’re looking for a double oven that can be built-in to your kitchen’s cabinet columns, our range of 90cm height models is ideal. Their main oven capacities range from 65L to 75L with a 38L top oven capacity.
If you would prefer your double oven to be built-under your kitchen’s work surface, our range of 72cm height models is the most suitable. Their main oven capacities are 48L with a 38L top oven capacity.

For more information, explore our full range of built-in double ovens.

How to Measure For a Built-In Oven

The width and depth of all our ovens remain the same; 59.4cm wide and 56.7cm deep, so you’ll just need to check the height in the section above. If you are replacing your oven, measure that to give you an idea of what your new oven’s size should be.

A Look into Built-Under Ovens

Perfect for creating a smart, minimalist look in your kitchen, built-under double ovens are designed to be installed under island units. On the whole, the differences between built-in and built-under ovens are fairly minor. The only difference between built-in ovens and built-under ovens is that built-under ovens are installed closer to the floor.

What Types Of Ovens Are There?

Now that you’ve decided on the size and capacity you need in your built-in oven, it’s time to think about the type of appliance you want to purchase. Here are the three oven types explained for you:

Built-In Conventional Ovens

If you’re more of a traditional home cook, a conventional oven is ideal. Heat comes from the top and bottom heating elements, operating without a fan to circulate the heat. This provides a traditional style of cooking, with hot air rising to the top of the oven.

Built-In Fan Ovens

If you do a lot of batch baking or often find yourself cooking different foods at the same temperature, a fan oven is the one for you. Heat is distributed evenly throughout the oven thanks to a fan (or in some cases multiple fans) being placed close to the heat source.

Built-In Multi-function Ovens

If you're a home cook who loves to experiment with different cooking methods, a multi-function oven is perfect for you. From grilling, to defrosting, not forgetting fan cooking and much more, a multi-function oven allows you to cook virtually any dish.

Colour & Display Features Of Built-In Ovens

Okay, so you’ve selected the size and type of built-in oven you want in your kitchen; now it’s time to give some thought to the aesthetic and practicality of your appliance, namely its colour and display.

Depending on the overall look and feel of your kitchen, selecting the right colour for your oven can really help elevate your kitchen’s design. Beko’s range of built-in ovens comes in stainless steel, black and white finishes.

We also understand how helpful it is to be able to easily track the cooking time of your food as well as to be able to set the perfect cooking temperature and time. That’s why most of our built-in ovens come with touch screen displays, offering the following three different types for you:

Fully Programmable LED Display

Preparing your food ahead of time has never been easier, thanks to our easy to use, touch control LED display that offers precise cooking times. For added safety, the display features a lock programme, perfect for preventing curious little fingers from altering the oven’s settings.

Animated Mono-dial LED Display

Perfect for achieving excellent cooking results every time, this stylish oven feature has a combination of a modern touch screen and a classic mono-dial display. Select the perfect cooking function from the animated LED display or from mono-dial, and use the mono-dial to set the timer and precise temperatures for your meal.

Animated LED Display

Achieving excellent cooking results at home has never been simpler, thanks to our animated LED display. Choose the perfect temperature, cooking time and tray position on the easy-to-use screen. You can even use the dials to select a suitable cooking function for your weekly family dinner.

Why Our Ovens Are Easy To Clean

The next factor you should consider when buying a built-in oven is how easy it is to clean. Cooking is a fun and enjoyable experience, but we understand how frustrating it is to spend hours scrubbing your oven clean afterwards. To help here, we’ve developed a host of self-cleaning and easy-clean solutions to help you save time in the kitchen, including:

Pyrolytic Cleaning

The oven heats up to a super-hot 480°C turning grease to ash, and then all you have to do is use a damp cloth to wipe clean. Explore our full range of self-cleaning, pyrolytic ovens here.

Steam Cleaning Technology

Steam your oven clean and simply wipe away the dirt.

Complete Easy Cleaning Solution

Beko’s range of built-in ovens offers a complete easy-clean solution to help you save time in your day-to-day life.

Extra Features Available On Our Built-In Ovens

The last, but far from the least, factor that you should consider when you’re looking for a new oven, is the range of extra features that your new built-in oven will come with. Beko’s range of built-in ovens offers a host of helpful and modern special features, but here are two of the highlights:

Split&Cook®

When space is at a premium but you still want to be able to cook two dishes at the same time, our Split&Cook® technology is perfect for you. It splits the oven in two, allowing you to cook two different dishes at the same time, at two different temperatures, without mixing any smells or flavours.

Multi-dimensional Cooking

For keen home cooks who love it when their food gets cooked evenly and efficiently, multi-dimensional cooking is ideal. Heat is distributed around the inside of the oven efficiently thanks to a heating element at the top and bottom of the cavity as well as at the back, just in front of the fan.
