Hotpoint stove oven temp
Like the stove, it is a bit slow to heat-up. The oven is self-cleaning and offers 5 cubic feet of space and two adjustable racks. A red light comes on when any of the burners is turned on, which is very helpful.** ** In general the burners work fine, although they are a bit slow in heating up. The control buttons are on a panel that sticks toward the back. The stove part has four coil burners of various sizes. At least it matches the rest of the kitchen. Mine is black, which looks nice when clean but easily shows all drips, spills, and dust. This is a **Hot Point Model** #**RB757 electric range.** It can stand alone, or like mine, be slid in between countertops. It turns out I was wrong since my **Hot Point** electric range has worked perfectly fine for more than a year. I always thought this brand was decidedly low-end, no frills, and probably unreliable. When I saw my apartment had some new Hot Point appliances I was not too thrilled at first. With the right cleaning agent-such as Comet or Fabuloso, those sauce and cream stains should come out with ease. Internal surfaces require a bit more effort to clean, but not so much as a deep scrub. Even when you have to apply pressure to certain areas used the most, you will not have a strenuous journey getting things cleaned up. What I like about this stove's surface is that it's VERY easy to clean. Newer stoves achieve higher heat temperatures a lot faster than stoves made over ten to fifteen years ago. My only suggestion is to adjust heat accordingly. However, a close eye will yield perfect cookies and cakes.Īs stated before, this is an oven with wonderful heat distribution. If not, cookies may burn or get a little too brown. There is even flow of heat with this oven, and therefore temperature adjustments are always necessary. Higher heats do not over-heat or burn food. There are no uneven portions, and water boils within about 5 to 10 minutes. This is especially important for frozen dishes. The power of these ranges heat quickly and efficiently. On the range-Uneven heat is a thing of the past. With swift, even heating, our meals were fried, broiled, and baked to perfection. After 25 years of good use, our old one died out. Ours is a family in constant use of a stove. We have had this stove for years, and it has lasted without any major problems or parts breaking. It can take quite awhile to cook the middle of a pizza (especially if you put two in at once), but other than that, it does a good job. The oven distributes heat very evenly, whether warming food up or baking it. At other times, we use it for a meal that we prepare at once, and both the oven and the stove do a great job of cooking (or baking) the food in a timely manner. It does a great job of warming food, and it is durable and trustworthy enough to leave it on for a couple hours warming food without feeling the need to check on it constantly. So we often have people bring food and warm it in the oven through the meetings, then pull it out for a meal after the meeting. We use it most often for company meals in conjunction with meetings. Our office has one of these stoves, and it has worked great for us for several years. This oven reminded me of the 1970s and it is a cheap oven if you ever really need one, but it is not something that you are going to be happy with overall. Cleaning this oven was not too hard, it did not have a self clean on it which made me have to manually do it all. I could mess with the temperature and I would still burn the outside and the inside would be raw, even if I had it at a way lower temperature than what was stated to cook it at. I burned everything that I put inside this oven. I hate the coil burners on the top, they always get something on them or under them and then clean up is such a pain, I found wrapping the trays under the coils in aluminum foil helped and made clean up a lot easier, but it still was not fun. This is an ugly oven, it is plain and boring, there is absolutely nothing about this oven that looks appealing, it looks old and just does not feel like something you want in your kitchen. We had this oven in our house when we first bought it, it was made a long time ago and I would be lying if I would say that I was not super happy when it finally went out and I got to buy myself a new one.
