Sunday roasts, weeknight pizzas and the odd tray of brownies all get the same treatment in this AEG Series 6000 built-in oven. SurroundCook fan technology moves heat around the 72-litre cavity so each of the five shelf positions gets its fair share, which means no shuffling trays halfway through. An extra heating ring keeps things even when all three shelves are loaded, and the Turbo Grilling setting pairs the fan with the 2300 Watts full surface grill for burgers that stay juicy inside.

The Hot Air convection system circulates heat right around the cavity, so the oven comes up to heat faster and you can drop cooking temperatures by up to 20% compared with the same dish on a conventional non-fan setting, depending on what you're cooking and how full the shelves are. When the grease starts to build up, the pyrolytic cycle bakes residue down to a fine ash that wipes away with a damp cloth. The three-pane door glass lifts out for cleaning too, and the knobs retract flush when you're finished. Job done.
