Why do we use litres to measure the capacity of an oven? Does it mean it can hold x litres of water in it?

Question

Was thinking to buy an OTG and it’s coming in different sizes ranging from 25 – 50 litres. What does the litre here really indicate?

Answer 1

A 50 liter oven can contain 50 liter of stuff, like 50L of any liquid.

In the metric system, conversion between liters and cubic decimeters (or any order of magnitude) is very convenient. 50L equates 50 cubic decimeters (1dm = 10cm), which can for instance correspond to an oven with the dimension 5dm x 10 dm x 1dm, or any other sum that equates 50.
