Elektriahjud

Elektriahjud are electric ovens used for cooking and baking. They operate by using electricity to heat resistive heating elements, which then radiate heat to cook food. These appliances are a common fixture in modern kitchens due to their ease of use, precise temperature control, and often more even cooking compared to some other oven types.

There are several types of elektriahjud, including freestanding units and those integrated into cabinetry. Freestanding models combine a hob (cooktop) and an oven in a single appliance, while integrated ovens are installed separately, often beneath a countertop or within a wall unit. Both types typically feature multiple cooking functions such as baking, broiling, convection cooking (using a fan to circulate hot air), and sometimes specialized modes like pizza or defrost settings.

The primary components of an elektriahi include heating elements, usually located at the top and bottom of the oven cavity, and a thermostat for temperature regulation. More advanced models may also include digital displays, timers, self-cleaning functions, and child safety locks. The energy efficiency of elektriahjud can vary, with many newer models incorporating energy-saving technologies. They require a standard electrical outlet and are generally considered safe and reliable for domestic use. Maintenance typically involves cleaning the interior and exterior surfaces.
