An OTG is a combination of a conventional oven, a grill, and a toaster all in one device, and is a multipurpose tool that has revolutionised modern kitchens. But using the right tools is key to maximising its potential. In addition to making cooking more difficult, using the wrong utensils might harm the device or compromise user safety. 

Being well equipped, especially in cases when one wants to prepare quality foods like baked foods is important. For example, oven gloves and baking trays can be helpful. With the help of this equipment, your culinary endeavours will be safe, effective, and produce tasty results. By knowing the kind of accessories required and how each should be used, you will better your results while cooking and also boost how efficiently your OTG operates.

OTG Oven Stands

For stability and ease when using your appliance, OTG oven stands are essential. Additionally, a strong stand lessens the chance of the oven tipping over or getting damaged. When selecting an OTG stand, make sure it provides enough support and matches the size of your oven. For enhanced organisation of the kitchen, some stands have areas like shelves or compartments for materials and utensils.

Baking Trays

Baking trays are essential when using an OTG for cooking.  They go well with different dishes and are produced using steel, and aluminium, and can also come with nonstick features. Aluminium trays are perfect for roasting vegetables or baking cookies since they are lightweight and have good heat conductivity. When choosing baking trays, make sure they are large enough to fit within your OTG without crowding. Non-stick versions are especially helpful for cleaning and releasing food easily.

Oven Mitts

When working with hot dishes from, oven mitts are a necessary accessory to prevent burns to your hands. When handling hot pots and trays, look for mittens composed of materials that can withstand heat and offer comfort and a firm grip. Additionally, choosing mitts with longer sleeves can protect your forearms. When cooking or baking several items at once, it's a good idea to keep several pairs on hand so you can quickly switch them out.

Wire Racks

In an OTG, wire racks are multipurpose, adaptable tools. They can be used to drain extra oil from fried foods or to cool baked goods after they are taken out of the oven. In addition, wire racks help to increase air circulation around food when it cooks making it easy to heat it uniformly. Make sure the wire rack you choose is made of sturdy materials that can tolerate high temperatures and fit comfortably inside your OTG. Certain racks have collapsable designs or height-adjustable features for convenient storage when not in use.

Rotisserie Set and Skewers

For your OTG to have perfectly roasted meats and poultry, a rotisserie set is essential. A rod, forks, and a motor mechanism for continuous rotation are usually included in the set. Meat that is juicy and well-browned is the consequence of this action, which guarantees even cooking and self-basting. Kebabs and other small cuts of meat or veggies are great on skewers. Select a rotisserie set that can support the weight of your regular roasts and satisfies the requirements of your OTG. To avoid wobbling while rotating, make sure the motor is sufficiently strong and the rod is balanced correctly.

Oven Thermometer

For your OTG to reach exact cooking temperatures, an oven thermometer is a necessary equipment. Numerous built-in thermostats could not always give precise readings, which could have an impact on baking times and final outcomes. You may precisely check the oven's internal temperature with a separate oven thermometer. Select a thermometer that can tolerate extreme temperatures and is easy to read. To make sure you know when it reaches the right temperature before putting your meals inside, place it inside the OTG while it is preheating.
