Getting the golden top on a potato gratin right comes easy with this AEG Series 6000 built-in oven. SurroundCook fan technology moves hot air around the 72-litre cavity so every corner of the dish gets the heat it needs, and an extra heating ring keeps results steady even with three trays loaded. No turning things round halfway through, which is one less job to remember.

The Hot Air convection system circulates warmth evenly and brings the oven up to temperature quicker, so cooking temperatures can be dropped by up to 20% compared with conventional heating on a standard oven setting. The XL baking tray is 20% larger than a standard baking tray, handy when one batch of flapjacks never quite stretches far enough. Once the heat reaches 250°C, the catalytic liners break down grease and cooking residue, so a quick wipe rounds things off.
