Electrolux EW30EW55PS vs GE JT3000SFSS

This premium-looking electric oven features a variety of useful cooking modes, programmable cooking capabilities, and even some advanced self-cleaning algorithms. Combined with a relatively high capacity, these features make this oven very valuable, even for its high price point.

This oven is equipped with two true convection fans, which allow for even temperature distribution throughout the oven's cavity.

The oven can do practically anything. It has 11 different modes – baking, broiling, roasting with or without convection, slow cooking, defrosting, dehydrating, bread proofing, and multi-stage cooking.

The oven can be set to Sabbath mode, so that it can be used while complying with kosher cooking practices.

You can pre-program up to three of your favorite recipe settings, which facilitates use every time you want to cook those recipes.

The oven has a probe that allows monitoring the internal temperatures of the roast without opening the doors. It can also be programmed to automatically switch off the oven once a desired temperature is reached.

This is a stainless steel oven with a large glass door and a totally black control panel with no visible controls until the oven is turned on.

You can program the oven for various cooking steps, for example, you can set it to start with roasting and finish with a broil, or just set the oven to change temperatures midway through the recipe.

The broiler preheats in under six minutes, which is a fairly good result compared to other competitors that need up to 10 minutes to reach the temperature acceptable for broiling.

This oven produces acceptable results while used in conventional baking mode.

Each of the included racks has a built-in handle so that it can be removed easily. Additionally, there is a glide rack that slides out easily and can withstand up to 50 pounds of weight when slid out.

Because of the two bright light bulbs and the blue interior, the food is clearly visible through the large window.

This oven has a total of 4.8 cubic feet of useful capacity, that can be distributed among its seven racks.

The oven has a design feature called 'Wave-Touch.' It allows the interface to display only the buttons that are applicable to the selected mode. The result is a very sleek and uncluttered control panel.

This oven is capable of pyrolytic cleaning, which is effortless to use, but also time-consuming and results in odors. Electrolux minimizes these problems by implementing three different time settings depending on the filth level and by having an integrated catalytic converter that eliminates unwanted odors and particles.

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 all the basic modes that most people need: it has a regular baking mode, a broiling mode, a bread-proofing mode, and a warming mode.

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 control panel can be locked to prevent accidental enabling or accidental setting changes.

The oven has a built-in delay bake option, which allows you to program the oven to start cooking at a pre-programmed time.

The oven comes with a Sabbath mode, so that it can be used while complying with kosher cooking practices.

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.

The broiler takes only 4 minutes to preheat, an impressive result that outperforms even some premium ovens.

The powerful nine level broiler can be set to various temperatures based on your needs.

The GE JT3000SFSS can be bought in 4 different colors: white, black, slate, and stainless steel.

Contrarily to what happens with some other ovens, here there’s no exposed heating element at the bottom, which really facilitates cleaning everything.

The oven comes with interior lights, which help monitoring the food while it's being cooked.

The cleaning cycles can be programmed to start with a delay, so the oven can clean itself while you’re not at home.
