A lot of people don’t know the difference between a fan oven and a fan–assisted oven. Since most recipes do not specify the type of oven to use, you might also have difficulty guessing the difference between the two or what makes the other one better than the other. 

In this article, we will discuss the differences between a fan oven and a fan-assisted oven. Knowing this information will help you decide when shopping for a new oven.  

Fan Oven 

One prominent feature of the fan oven is the heating element and fan located at the back of the oven’s compartment. The fan, which spins continuously while cooking, circulates the heat from the element and ensures that the hot air is evenly distributed. Because of this, your meal gets cooked evenly at a shorter time, even at a low temperature. So you can save on energy while cooking. 

Fan-Assisted Oven 

A fan-assisted oven also has a fan at the back of the oven’s compartment. What makes it different from the fan oven are the additional heating elements at the top and bottom. Because of this, you can cook either with a fan or without it. 

Whether you want to cook your food with a conventional oven or you want to reap the benefits of how speedy and efficient a fan oven is, you can enjoy both with a fan–assisted oven. 

Fan Oven vs. Fan-Assisted Oven 

Suppose you are after energy efficiency and speed. In that case, the fan oven is an excellent choice as it only requires a lower temperature and quicker time to cook. It also preheats faster and prevents hot spots, ensuring that the food is cooked evenly.  

One of the advantages of having a fan-assisted oven is that you have the option to change into the conventional oven mode, which is required when baking biscuits and bread. 

While both types of ovens offer brilliant cooking results, the difference is just between being able to switch off the fan with the fan-assisted oven.
