Telescopic guides for ovens

It is difficult to imagine a modern kitchen without the presence of an oven. It greatly simplifies the process of preparing hot dishes and desserts. The household appliances market offers a wide selection of equipment. The most popular are ovens with telescopic guides.

Functionality

The main function of the telescopic guides is to slide the baking tray out of the oven. Such metal runners make the cooking process as comfortable as possible. Stops equipped on the back and front walls control the movement of the pan, preventing it from sliding off the surface or suddenly falling.

This function will help the housewife check the readiness or cool the dish. Once the door is opened, it is easy to pull out the pan, as the guides slide smoothly across the surface. This will avoid burns and injuries.

Types of equipment

Among modern telescopic guides, there are three types of runners. The main difference is the level of extension.

Kinds:

• Partial. It stands out due to the incomplete extension of the baking tray. Most often equipped with inexpensive and budget kitchen appliances;
• A combination of full and partial. This method is distinguished by the complete extension of one level. The remaining two are partially retractable;
• Three-level. The best among the available types. When using three-level runners, full extension is made on all three platforms.

Such a variety of types will allow each housewife to choose the most suitable and optimal option.
