Built-In vs Freestanding

BTU

British Thermal Unit. BTU’s are used to measure the heat output of gas cooking appliances.

See Watt for Electric appliances

CFM

Used when talking about kitchen ventilation.

Cubic Feet of Air per Minute. A measurement of the volume of air that is flowing into or out of a space.

Convection

Convection is a form of cooking that works by moving heated air using a fan.

By moving fast hot air past the food, convection ovens can operate at a lower temperature than a standard conventional oven and yet cook food more quickly.

The air circulation, or convection, tends to eliminate "hot spots" and thus food may cook more evenly.

Induction

Induction is a form of cooking that uses is a powerful, high-frequency electromagnet in the "element" under a cooktop's ceramic surface.

When a large piece of magnetic material- for example, a cast-iron skillet--is placed in the magnetic field that the element is generating, the field transfers ("induces") energy into that metal.

The transferred energy causes the cooking vessel to become hot. By controlling the strength of the electromagnetic field, we can control the amount of heat being generated in the cooking vessel and these changes can be made instantaneously.

Watts

A measurement of the heat output of electric cooking appliances.
