Abstract

An oven includes a main body, a toast tray, a baking pan, a door, a control panel, a bottom base and a shaft. In using, just put toasts to be baked on the toast tray and then, put the toast tray in an upper chamber of the main body and turn a change-over switch on the control panel to a toast reading. For baking small-sized foods, put such foods on a baking pan, and then put the pan in a lower chamber and turn the changeover switch to an oven reading orderly. Or, for baking a big object such as a whole chicken, it can be forked by the shaft and mounted in the lower chamber. And, via engagement of a driving gear and a driven gear, the shaft is to be rotated while baking, able to keep the chicken baked evenly so as to obtain a delicious chicken.
