conventional oven
Non-microwave kitchen appliance
A conventional oven heats food using radiant heat from electric coils or gas flames, typically from below and above the cooking chamber.
The term distinguishes standard ovens from convection ovens, which circulate hot air with a fan, and from microwave ovens, which use electromagnetic radiation: The recipe works better in a conventional oven than a convection one.
