The oven has firmly entered our modern life and has become an indispensable assistant in the kitchen. She saves in any situation: when you need to cook a delicious homemade dinner or a pompous festive dinner. The oven helps out both supporters of healthy eating and families with children.

A bit of history

How did this useful kitchen gadget come about? In 1830, the Englishman William Flavel presented the first multifunctional solid fuel stove to London society. The Rangemaster, as this invention was then called, had several cooking modes and could simultaneously bake, fry and reheat food. The know-how attracted Queen Victoria so much that it was immediately acquired for her country residence. Later, other European monarchs followed suit, and new furnaces adorned the imperial houses of Italy and Germany.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the market was firmly conquered by electrical samples, a prototype of the current stove appeared - a kind of bedside table with heating elements in the form of metal plates connected to a current.

For more than 100 years, the electrical cabinet has undergone major changes, it was equipped with a glass door, a fan, and a grill.

The modern device has acquired not only a lot of useful functions, but also complete freedom of choice in design, color and shape. The market is replete with a large assortment of ovens and mini-ovens manufacturers: from domestic to large European ones. And the Russian brand Redmond is gaining more and more popularity, presenting a line of household appliances of excellent quality with a good set of functions at a low price.

Redmond ovens this type of product is realized in two directions:

• multifunctional mini ovens;
• smart SkyOven cabinets.

Outwardly, both types of ovens are very similar and resemble a conventional microwave oven with glass doors, which can be placed on the kitchen worktop or in any place convenient for the consumer. Inside, as in a conventional electric oven, there are heating elements (top and bottom) with a capacity of 900-1500 watts. The equipment is powered from a 220-240V network.

The characteristics of mini-ovens are also in many ways similar, differing only in a slight option of functions and dimensions of the models.

Pros and cons

Redmond has tried to meet the needs of each customer as much as possible. All models comply with the principles of ergonomics and practicality as much as possible, which is especially important for owners of studio apartments and small-sized premises. Owners of technology do not have to change the design of the space, decide on the issue of additional wiring or the purchase of special furniture.

Due to their compact size, the ovens are highly portable, they can easily be taken to the country or when moving to a new apartment.

All Redmond ovens have a wider functionality than microwave ovens, they can completely replace a conventional built-in oven. At the same time, the purchase of this technique will significantly save the budget, since the price of such an oven is several times cheaper than buying a full-size oven.

Of course, you have to pay something for compactness, in the case of mini-ovens (roasters), this is a small useful volume of the chamber and a limited temperature range (up to 230-250 degrees). Although at the household level, the parameters are quite enough for both baking a whole chicken and baking sweets.

Models and their characteristics

The most popular Redmond mini electric ovens today are RO-5701, 5703, 5704 and 5705. They can operate in three basic modes.

• Top heating. Ideal for grilling steaks, pizza, hot sandwiches.

Features of operation

The Redmond mini-stove does not require any special skills and abilities during operation. Before starting work, it is recommended to wipe it with a soft and damp (not wet!) Cloth. Wash baking sheets and other components in warm water and soap. It will not be superfluous to regularly monitor the integrity of the cord and outlet, the parameters of the electrical network. When using for the first time, it is recommended to try to turn on the device without food for 15-20 minutes at maximum power.

When choosing a place for installing the cabinet, you should take into account that it should not come into contact with other objects.

Correct operation of the ventilation holes to protect the outer parts of the case from overheating is possible while maintaining a small gap of 5-10 cm.

Care

In order for the stove to serve for a long time and work properly, it is necessary to take care of it regularly. The outside of the oven should be wiped with a damp cloth. Internal elements and accessories may be washed with a mild soapy solution. It is strictly forbidden to use abrasive products or hard sponges for cleaning equipment, as well as metal scrapers, brushes, spatulas . Steam cleaning of internal parts is not recommended.

In general, regular care is not difficult. Difficulties can arise after using the skewer, as the fat from the meat flows down to the bottom. For protection of the lower heating element and optimal cleaning of the device, the developers have placed a special tray underneath. It can be easily removed and washed.

The presence of various modes will meet the needs of all family members. For example, grilling and convection will appeal to men. And the ruddy casseroles will be appreciated by children.
