Your budget
The available space in your kitchen
The type of food you plan to cook
Your frequency of use
Your skill level in the kitchen
Once you have considered these factors, you can decide whether a gas or electric oven is better for you. You should also consider the brand and model of the oven, as some have special features such as self-cleaning or pre-set cooking programs.
