Ovens are an important part of every kitchen, and it can take a long time to find the right one for you and your home. People want different thing's from their oven and there a lot of ovens on the market to choose from. Most of the major brands offer a few different design collections that consist of a range of appliances that have been specially designed to compliment each other aesthetically. AEG are no exception to this and currently have 4 collections in their catalogue.
6000 Series
There are actually 2 sub-categories in the 6000 range - The SurroundCook® and the SteamBake.
6000 SURROUNDCOOK®
This collection is considered AEG's entry-level oven range and are generally cheaper than the other ranges currently on offer. That said, the design and functions in the 6000 SurroundCook series rival those of the more expensive ovens sold by other brands.
SurroundCook is AEG's convection cooking system, which ensures hot air circulates evenly throughout the oven cavity. The oven also heats up faster and cooking temperatures can be reduced by up to 20%, saving you both time and energy. Unlike standard ovens, the SurroundCook oven’s advanced fan technology ensures that every part of your dish is getting exactly the heat it needs, no matter which shelf it’s placed on, or whether it’s one dish or several. No more turning dishes halfway through cooking.
The SurroundCook ovens also feature an additional heating ring which ensures your dishes are evenly cooked even when loaded with up to three trays for corner to corner deliciousness. Many models are equipped with catalytic cleaning. The catalytic lining absorbs the grease from cooking and is activated by regular heating to 220°C. The grease residue is oxidised, leaving the catalytic surface clean.
In terms of design and usability, the majority of the 6000 Series ovens feature the AEG EXPlore LED Display with touch controls, with a responsive and vibrant interface that gives you quick access and control of cooking time, temperature, and other features. So setting your oven is easy and precise. For the other models, the oven dials are a retractable, pop-out design.
