This tag is not a catch-all tag for any recipe or technique that uses an oven. Please read the full wiki text before adding it.

Conventional ovens, both gas and electric, which use one or more heating elements to cook by heat radiation. If you don't specify gas, we will assume you mean electric.

Wood fired ovens, which are heated using flames from burning wood. Include the wood-fired-oven tag.
Toaster ovens, which are technically a form of conventional oven. Please be aware that toaster ovens vary drastically in their characteristics and capabilities, so be as specific as possible when asking about these.
