An oven is a box in the kitchen that gets very hot for baking and cooking. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/O/oven/#m1) 2. Anything very hot can be called an oven: «It's like an oven in here!» [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/O/oven/#m2) ### In the lessons In maths: a place where things bake; trays per oven, baking time, temperature; batches in an oven.

In stories: the witch's oven in «Hansel and Gretel». ### Examples - The oven holds 2 trays of 12 cookies.

Safety: never touch the inside of a hot oven; children should cook with an adult. A microwave oven heats food in a different way. ## In Jewish tradition In maths: a place where things bake; trays per oven, baking time, temperature; batches in an oven.
