Forced air oven Development of "Forced Air" Oven has meant substantial reductions in running cost in comparison with conventional cooking appliances. The term "Forced Air" is as the name implies, a method of cooking with the air forced firstly over the heating elements and then horizontally through the oven cavity. The benefits of this are numerous, it ensures further utilisation of the heat generated by the heating elements to provide even temperature throught out the oven cavity, also to reduce oven pre-heating times and enable cooking to be done at lower temperatures. With even heat distribution the advantages are to cook at the same time at different levels the same or different types of food, such as roast and fish. This fact can only be made possible in a "Forced Air" Oven, because volatile substances containing odours and flavours with a molecular structure soluble in water, flavour contamination can pass into a body being heated only if there is condensation.
