Submit your best recipe for an oven bake and you're in to win a Samsung 73L oven with Gourmet Vapour Technology
A quality oven is vital to good cooking and even more so in winter when oven-bakes become an almost daily occurrence. If you’re in the market, you’ll want to enter our reader competition because the winning recipe wins a very good-looking Samsung 73L oven.
We’re after your best recipe for a wintry oven bake — something that warms the cockles and the home while it cooks.
Competition update: Judging is in progress
Thank you to all of you who entered a recipe into our oven bake reader recipe competition. The competition is now closed and the judging process has begun. Ray McVinnie and editor Jo Elwin will cook and taste a shortlist of recipes, with the top three being featured in Bite magazine very soon. In the meantime, check out some of the entries that were submitted via the recipe form.
The prize

The Samsung 73L is as beautiful to use as it is to look at, with Gourmet Vapour Technology ensuring you can cook like the professionals — especially when baking and roasting. The technology creates a super-heated vapour that quickly spreads from corner to corner to ensure even cooking across multiple levels. So food is deliciously crispy and brown outside, but soft and juicy inside.
A 4.6-inch full-touch TFT LCD display lets you control a range of functions and settings at the touch of a finger and you don’t even need to be close to your oven to use it! The Samsung built-in oven’s Wi-Fi connection lets you remotely monitor and control the oven using an app on your smartphone. You can easily check and change settings, and adjust cooking times and temperatures.

It also helps you to cook like a pro by selecting and automatically cooking a chef recipe recommended by a Michelin 3-star chef. And never serve under-cooked or over-cooked meat again, the meat probe monitors the internal temperature and eliminates guesswork by indicating when meat is thoroughly cooked.
