‘da broiler
While we’re on the subject of kitchen planning…
I’ve gone back and forth on the subject of double ovens. I had one in my first house and thought I hardly ever used both at the same time. So in my next house I just did a single. Then on many occasions in that house — I wished I had a double.
I tell you what — anything would be better than this piece of crap!
I want a double electric oven in this house. Gas cooktop. I like the dual fuel functionality.
When we bought this house, there was no oven at all and we bought the cheapest oven we could find because we knew we would be reconfiguring the whole kitchen at some point.
I thought I had at least purchased a dual fuel oven…I did not.
Who ever thought putting a broiler on the floor was a good idea? That’s what I’d like to know.
I guess there’s no other place to have a broiler on a gas oven. The flames are on the bottom of the oven and if you want to toast the top of something you have to put that something below the flames.
Whether I eventually get one or two electric wall ovens in this house — anything would be better than this.
Seriously!
That is the craziest oven I’ve seen! I have a gas oven and my broiler is right where it should be, in the oven, there is a broiler burner on the top just like an electric.
Oh, so you actually supposed to cook with that thing. We used ours for holding the cookie sheets. This year we bought a small version of the double oven, it has no broiler and the oven openings are two different sizes. We have used both ovens at the same time and are so happy we made this choice. I do plan to eventually getting full size double wall ovens but for now we are happy with the choice.
Are you thinking of the the full size doubles (separate from cook top) or the kind that have the mini oven + regular size in a range format? I’ve had both types (electric) and can vouch for the awesomeness of both configurations. Obvi, the range format is better suited for smaller households.The gas broiler drawer stinks, especially if the previous homeowner wasn’t the best housekeeper….
Go for the double ovens for sure. I have a fantastic stove that has a warming drawer that I use all the time. There are many times I wish I had a double oven. My next house will definitely have that feature and yes gas cook top.
