Integrated ovens help you make the most of your kitchen space. When you’re in need of a Sunday lunch, an oven is there to help, providing you with evenly cooked and delicious food. There’s nothing quite like it. However, when the time comes to say goodbye to your trusty oven, it’s good practice to look around. Here, you can find something that fits your lifestyle, diet and kitchen. If you’ve got a seamlessly integrated kitchen – or you’re shopping around for one- look at our round-up of the best-integrated ovens in the UK.

Finding which oven suits you best depends on your budget, lifestyle and household. Don't be afraid to shop around. We've made sure to include a variety of integrated ovens below to give you lots of options.

For those who are looking for more flexibility and space, the best freestanding ovens might be a better fit. Freestanding ovens are not built into kitchen cabinets, allowing them to be placed anywhere in the kitchen. This gives homeowners the freedom to design their kitchen layout without being restricted by built-in appliances. On the other hand, integrated ovens give a more polished finish. There are also single and double integrated ovens to choose from.

The Touch Controls puts you in control of your oven and with an A+ rating, this appliance is energy efficient, keeping your bills a little lower.Customer Review: “I wasn't convinced when buying this oven that we needed any of the assisted cooking settings. However, I've been surprised by how much I've used them, particularly when baking. I also really like that the instruction manual has some advice on energy saving, including using the moist fan baking setting and on certain programs, not pre-heating the oven.

"I also find the telescopic rails really practical if I'm needing to turn food over or check but don't have worktop space next to the oven. And the pyrolytic cleaning is brilliant - I hate cleaning ovens so it's a joy to press the button and walk away.”

FAQs

OUR VERDICT: Which is the best integrated oven?

If you're looking for something single, the Bosch Built-In Single Electric Oven is a good choice. Though a little basic, it's well-priced, has a very good energy rating, and stellar reviews. Plus, it's easy to clean. Bosch is a reliable brand, too.

However, if you want a double oven, we recommend the BEKO Pro RecycledNet Electric Double Oven, which boasts an A on the energy rating scale, a useful steam cleaning function and a handy LED display. This one is the best.

What to consider when choosing an integrated oven

Features – Recently, oven companies have been working hard to create new features in their models. Some are useful, which include self-cleaning, a defrost mode, a delay feature, and energy efficiency. If you want some extra convenience, opt for a feature-heavy integrated oven.

Budget - Regardless of how much you’re changing in your kitchen, budgets are going to be different for every household. So, we’ve included a range of double ovens at multiple price points.

Single or Double? If you have extra room in your kitchen redesign, you could invest in a double oven. They’re perfect for those who host a lot of dinner parties – or a larger family. Conveniently, you can heat up compartments to different temperatures depending on what dishes you’re cooking.

Gas or Electric? More common with an integrated kitchen, electric ovens circulate hot air around to evenly cook your food. Though cheaper to buy outright, an electric model tends to be a bit pricier to run. However, gas ovens are still being made, with smaller running costs. Plus, they can provide extra heat in the winter – saving your pennies. Make sure you get a professional to install them.

How do I clean my integrated oven?

Giving your oven a clean once in a while will definitely help you in the long run.

Bacteria is something you need to be tackling when you're cleaning your oven. Plus - a nice, clean oven can help it stay in tip-top shape. Further, giving it a spring clean can reduce any clogging of nasty grease and dirt. Result! Now, it will perform better, look nicer and be much safer. We suggest using oven cleaner for a regular wipe or a deep clean.
