Nice article but I don't think it's greatly relevant to most of us. I use the oven a lot, cook most days, and don't cook above 220C. I don't think our oven goes above 250C.

If you're into molecular gastronomy I can imagine you'd want to play around with the stuff mentioned in the article, but outside of that ... m'eh.



I beg to differ. A better oven means tastier food at home, which pays dividends every single day of your life.


Every single day of your life that you use the oven, as opposed to eating something fresh or cooked stove-top. And strictly, just for those things cooked in the oven that the oven-improvement improves.


The oven improvements being discussed here will have the effect of making more things best done in the oven.


Yes, certainly that metric should be "the amount you use your new oven", not "the amount you use your current oven".


It'd be really nice for pizza, giving roasts a nice crust before/after slow roasting, etc. I'd be happy with it and I'm of the general opinion that molecular gastronomy is pretentious wankery.
