AEG BPK748380B (£889)

This spacious single oven doesn’t come cheap, but it does have a raft of features.

Firstly, it’s smart, which means you can control cooking times and temperatures from your phone. Or you can use the oven’s touch controls, and scroll through an electronic menu.

It has an effective, high-temperature pyrolytic self-cleaning program, and even offers a cleaning reminder alert.

Its food sensor/meat probe means you should be able to judge roasts and sponges to perfection.

John Lewis JLBIDO932X (£799)

This is an impressively spacious double oven. Unusually, there’s enough room in both top and bottom oven to fit in a family-sized turkey.

Between them, the two ovens also offer a wide variety of cooking choices. This includes less-standard options, such as moist-fan baking, which aims to give you perfect baking results.

The flat screen touch-control panel means that there will be no fiddly cleaning around control knobs.

Beko AeroPerfect BBXIF22100S (£199)

This quick to heat up oven is pretty basic as ovens go, but if it’s a Best Buy, then it’s also a bargain.

While it doesn’t have true self-cleaning, there’s a steam setting that runs for 25 minutes that should help loosen any solidified grime stuck to the oven’s insides.

There isn’t a pile of optional extras to get used to, so we found this oven nice and easy to use.

Pyrolytic oven or catalytic oven?

Self-cleaning ovens – ones that have either a high-temperature pyrolytic program or catalytic liners – are no longer few and far between.

The best ones are so good, that chipping off burnt-on grime from the innards of your oven could be a thing of the past.

Pyrolytic cleaning usually gives the best results – and if you’re on a budget, but are tempted by pyrolytic cleaning, then take a look at our review of the Hoover H-oven 300 HOC3UB5858BI. This oven has pyrolytic cleaning and will also give you change out of £300.
