Reflector Ovens

* Note: I do have one antique reflector oven for sale.  Click on this link  Antique Cooking & Kitchen Goods.   The reflector oven that I currently have in stock is for baking.  I’m asking $185.00 which does include free shipping.

There are several types of reflector ovens that are commonly used in open-hearth cooking.  The first is often known as a tin kitchen, which has a spit and is used for roasting meat.  The second is used for baking and is sometimes called a tart oven or a biscuit oven.  I also own a “bird oven”, which is a very tiny, shallow reflector oven with pairs of hooks.  As the name implies, it is used for roasting  small game birds, such as quail.

Reflector ovens are a very easy and efficient way to cook.  I love mine.  In fact I love them so much that I own six of them, which is many more than would have been found in a normal 18th century household.

If you have been searching for somewhere to buy a new reflector oven, try some of the following links.  Three of my reflector ovens are new and three are antiques.  I use them all.  Generally speaking, reproductions will be less expensive.
