What is an OTG Oven and How Does it Work?

An OTG oven is a smaller version of the traditional oven which is primarily used for toasting, grilling, and baking. Professional bakers prefer to use an OTG for making delicacies. Apart from that, it also comes handy to prepare a barbeque and also, for making a pizza too!

Also, the fan present in the OTG oven (only OTGs with convection feature) ensures that the heat is distributed evenly inside the chamber.

What all can you Cook in OTG?

One can use an OTG to do all kinds of baking. You can also use an OTG for making pizzas, muffins, cookies, and cakes. Apart from that, you can use the rotisserie for grilling meat, kebabs, steak, and tikkas. With an OTG oven, imagination is your limit when it comes to cooking delicious food.

What is the difference between OTG and Microwave Oven?

OTG is the short form for Oven, Toaster, and Grill. Right from the name, you can guess that OTG is used to fulfill three different functions. The OTG has heating coils which allow you to carry the desired function.

On the other hand, a microwave oven is an appliance which is mostly used for cooking food by heating it simply by convection. Now that we know the basic let us have a look at the difference between OTG and microwave oven. The microwave oven uses the microwave to both heat and cook the food.

Depending on your need, you can buy different kinds of the microwave oven. However, you do not need a different kind of OTG for toasting and grilling because that is the basic function of every OTG.

Also, the maximum capacity of an OTG can go as high as 60 litres, whereas, for the microwave oven, the maximum capacity is around 40-42 litres.

The power consumption of an OTG is very low, and also, it is cheaper than a microwave oven.

A microwave oven is best for reheating, defrosting and baking for beginners. Whereas, professional bakers prefer OTG.

1. Form of Heating

The OTG uses electricity for heating the coil, and then this coil is used for cooking the food inside the oven. The microwave oven, on the other hand, uses the microwave for heating the food.

2. Speed

The OTG needs more time to get heated and cool in comparison to the microwave oven. It means it will take more time to cook food in an OTG.

Well, if you want to experiment with food dishes and you are looking for an appliance to grill, bake and try some other experiments, then OTG is the best option. However, if you want to prepare a simple dish, then you can go for a simple microwave oven.

For more in-depth detail, you can check out our detailed post on the difference between an OTG and Microwave Oven.

When Should You Buy an OTG Instead of a Microwave Oven?

It would be best if you bought an OTG for baking, toasting, and grilling. Using an OTG, you can grill meat, toast bread, bake cakes, and many other things. You can use the OTG oven for all the basic activities like reheating and keeping the food warm. Apart from that, you can use it to prepare a barbeque. Many people prefer to use OTG for baking food items. If you are a professional baker, you should go for an OTG for sure.

OTG Oven Buying Guide

Before you buy an OTG oven, you should know all the basics about it. For example, does your cooking requirement needs an OTG or a microwave oven. If you are going to buy an OTG, what are the things that you should consider? For instance, depending upon the number of members in your family, you will have to choose the capacity of the OTG oven. And also what are the features that you should be expecting from a good OTG oven? All this might sound confusing, but worry not, you can use our guide to understand everything in a simple manner.

Size/Capacity

The OTG can have a capacity that is as high as 60 litres. For a small family, an OTG of 16 litres will do, and if you have a medium sized family, you can go for a 30-litre capacity. Later, depending upon your cooking requirement, you can go up to a capacity of 60 litres for preparing a meal for a large number of people.

According to Usage

If you want an OTG oven just for baking and cooking simple food, you can buy an oven that comes without a rotisserie. However, if you are looking for an OTG oven to meet all the professional requirements of cooking, including grilling and preparing a barbeque, you can buy an OTG oven with rotisserie.

With or Without Rotisserie

It is important to decide whether you need rotisserie or not. If you want to grill in your OTG, then you should select an OTG with a rotisserie which is a special grilling accessory. A rotisserie is a steel base bar that works on a motor system to do a perfect grilling. It can also be used for barbecuing paneer, vegetables, and meat. However, if you are looking for an OTG only for baking, you can go for one that doesn’t have a rotisserie.

OTG Dimensions

Depending upon the space available in the kitchen, you can choose the dimensions of the OTG. The dimensions of the OTG will also depend upon its capacity. An OTG with small capacity will occupy less space whereas an OTG with larger capacity will have larger dimensions.

Price and Warranty

You should consider your budget when you think about buying an OTG. First, fix up a budget and then check the brands that fit in the budget. The good thing about OTG is that it will cost you half the price of a microwave oven.

Once you have selected the brand, you should look at the warranty period of the OTG. The warranty on the product will indirectly tell you about the quality of the product. The amount of confidence that the manufacturer has in their product is reflected in their warranty period.

Power/Wattage

Generally, the OTG consumes less power than a microwave oven. The workload of an OTG is much lower than a microwave open, hence, the less power consumption. For a 16 litre OTG, the power consumption will be approximately 1200W, and for the OTG with larger capacity, the power consumption will be around 2000W.

Features

Many OTG ovens come with plenty of additional features. All the extra features might not be helpful for a newbie, but they are extremely helpful for a professional. Let us now have a look at the basic features of the OTG ovens.

Timer
