Q: What is a good brand to buy for an oven?

I miss making homemade baked goods. A lot of ovens I have seen here are either too small or too expensive. I want to make cake, cookies, baked chicken (both whole and parts), roast veggies, etc... What brand do you have? How big is it? How much did you pay for it? What do you make in it? Thanks.

Our Changdi is now on its 4th year of securing the family with bread, chocolate cake and other things needed for survival. 

 

The specific model is no longer for sale. It is one of their larger, and it was picked as it has 2 heating elements at both top and bottom.

Midea is a good brand. I bought the 50L model for around 700 RMB. It does everything (except the dishes).

Just make sure whichever model/make that you buy has elements for heating and not the tubes. Tubes don't last and it's almost impossible to get them replaced.

Another vote for Midea here. Had mine for a couple of years now and would be lost without it.

Sinobear:

The heating source - there's either traditional elements (like coils in a "normal" oven) or tubes (like florescent lights).

Midea is good, I got one and I have cooked many times with it. Not a single problem.

my microwave and mininoven and regular oven are all GALANZ. No problems and I think they are a cheaper brand.

Definitely go with the "Easy Bake" brand, brand has been around for decades and is known for its power saving cooking ability combined with its low environmental impact make this a winner in my eyes.

Another vote for Midea and Galanz. Also ACA - they used to sell them at Sunning appliance stores, don't know if they still do. I used to have an ACA grill oven and it was great. I gave it away when I moved and last I heard it's still going strong 8 years and several owners later.

 

You can do everything a normal oven will do. Roast meat, bake cakes, bread etc. Some come with a rotisserie which is awesome for roasting meat.

Buy the biggest you can find and afford.

Had both Galanz 26 cm diameter and Midea 24cm. Paid  300-400rmb per each. Both worked well. Galanz is a bit wider, Midea is little bit stronger. Was happy with both of them.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
