Pyrolitic Oven

One of the most desired oven's is a pyrolitic oven. Pyrolitic refers to a decomposition technique, where a very high heat aids to oxidize built up dirt within the oven, and removes the need to the clean the oven on a regular basis.

Therefore this type of oven is sometimes more simple referred to as a,

• Self-cleaning oven

However, it is not a truly accurate term, as there are self cleaning oven's which use a different technique to a pyrolitic oven.

What is generally accepted, however, is that the pyrolitic technique is currently the most effective way for an oven to self clean.

The high heat needed to oxidize dirt is very high indeed. Somewhere in the region of five hundred degree's Celsius. Consider that most oven's only cook up to a heat of two hundred degree's Celsius, then we can appreciate what an extreme decomposition technique pyrolytic is.

Now some people may be a little wary of an appliance, located in their home, which can heat itself to such an extreme temperature. Typically the oven door autolocks itself when the pyrolytic option is selected. Which will placate some worries.

The next concern will be the expensive of such as option. Won't heating an appliance to five hundred degree's Celsius cost an awful lot of electricity or gas. On researching this question, the general feedback from manufacturer's is that one pyrolitic cleaning cycle will only cost a couple of pence per cycle.

However, the self cleaning promise is not strictly true. There will be a residue of ash left after the pyrolitic cleaning period, which will be need to be swept from the oven. Therefore, there is still a little work left to do to leave your oven spotless.
