While many people use ovens these days to cook food, it proves to be one of the modern ways of cuisine as well. Though there are the upsides of cooking in an oven, some people say food cooked in ovens should not be consumed regularly and in large quantities. Now I don't know why they say like that. But the pros of ovens are more in number than the cons. Some of them can be cooking gets healthier and you can cook in large numbers, etc. apart from retaining the nutrients. So, is it true that using ovens these days is better than the traditional cooking methods?

Ohhhh. I am hearing this for the first time that even ovens are seasonally used. Is there any particular or any scientific reason behind choosing a couple of seasons only?

@abhi_bangal NO, they are used all year but here in the South in the summer it is really too hot to use them then. You heat up your whole house which isn't needed.

@snowy22315 Oh I see. Yes, ovens generate a lot of heat. And in summer, especially, it'd unbearable.

What is the ‘ traditional ‘ cooking method if not the oven ? We tend to use the air fryer instead of the oven for about 98% of our cooking.

It's the stove with LPG - that's liquefied petroleum gas. Ovens came later, at least for us. And if you want to go back in time before LPG, then there is the wooden sticks used as bonfire where our ancestors used to cook food.
