With a price tag below $900, this oven offers excellent conventional cooking performance. It can easily do well on all the regular oven-cooking tasks. Additionally, it has several useful extra features usually found in premium ovens, such as self-cleaning features or programmable timers.
The oven has two cleaning cycles: a steam cycle, for cleaning small spills and light dirt, and a pyrolytic cycle, which is more intense and removes even burned-up grease.
This oven has a large 5 cubic feet cooking cavity which you can use with two independent cooking racks. The six possible rack positions will help accommodating cookware with various shapes and sizes.
The touch control panel is covered in plastic, which feels a lot cheaper than if it were covered in glass, which is what is usually used in premium ovens.
This Bosch oven has 12 specialized cooking modes, including bread proofing, pizza baking, and convection roasting. It will automatically do temperature conversion when using convection cooking and lets you preset your favorite settings. It even has a Sabbath mode. All these modes work flawlessly.
The oven has a brushed stainless steel exterior with very polished details and clean lines, achieving a very good looking overall design. Particular, the control panel and the door handle integrate perfectly.
Thanks to the big window and bright interior lights, the food can be seen clearly while it's being cooked. There is also a meat probe that will output the food's inner temperature to the oven screen.
It has European style convection, meaning that there are a fan and an additional heating element in the back of the oven. The oven's performance is great both in classical baking and convection baking with very even heat distribution and no cold spots. The result is even cooking with low risk of burnt food.
