Indesit FIM21KBBK review
http://www.which.co.uk/home-and-garden/kitchen/reviews/built-in-ovens/indesit-fim21kbbk/review/
If you'd prefer to cook using conventional oven instead of a fan, the Indesit FIM21KBIX could be what you're looking for. However, you won't find many extra features on this rather basic electric oven. Can this conventional single oven cook as quickly and evenly as its fan-assisted rivals? Read on to find out.

Type
Whether it's a gas or electric, has a single or double oven and if it is a double, whether it's built-in or built-under.
Colour
The colour we give here is the colour of the oven that we tested. Built-in ovens usually come in more than one colour, so if you're looking for a black oven but we only have the stainless steel, check with the manufacturer.
Claimed oven capacity (l)
This is the total volume of the top and main ovens. The litre figure given is worked out based on the height x width x depth of the ovens, rather than the actual usable volume. For double ovens we have given the claimed capacity of the top oven, followed by the main oven.
Main oven claimed capacity (l)
This is the total volume of the main oven. The litre figure given is worked out based on the height x width x depth of the main oven, rather than the actual usable volume.
Oven usable volume (l)
This is the actual space that you can use to cook with in the main and top ovens. It's the space available above the lowest shelf in its lowest position up to 3cm below the top of the oven.
Main oven usable volume (l)
This is the actual space that you can use to cook with in the main oven. It's the space available above the lowest shelf in its lowest position, up to 3cm below the top of the oven.
Size hxwxd (cm)
This is the actual space needed to install the oven into a kitchen cabinet. The actual height and width of the oven front will be slightly larger.
Meat probe
Whether it has a probe to test if meat is fully cooked.
Child lock
Whether it has a child lock function preventing the oven from being used. (Retractable knobs are not regarded as a true childproof feature.)
Self-clean
Type of self-cleaning lining
Annual running costs (£)
This is based on roasting a chicken three times a week in the main oven.
