Microhood convection + range/oven convection?
Comments (1)I need to order my appliances soon and am thinking the same thing. I am looking at a Jenn Air range with convection and the OTR microwave with convection and speed cook. I'm by myself, so I figured I could use the OTR for everyday. I also have company quite often, so it would be like having two ovens. Not sure if I need two convections though. There isn't that much difference in price between the Jenn Air range with convection and without. The convection has a few more options, temp probe, warming drawer, special burner, so I'm looking at that too....See MoreBlue Star oven takes FOREVER to get hot...
Comments (41)We are moving from a house with a lacanche volnay and much smaller oven, which i LOVE, to a new home with a 36” blue star and this heat up and large oven size is my primary concern. i picked the lacanche over blue star 12 years ago, and have never regretted it. the volnay is like a speed oven, speedy heat up, great convection and fast cooking. roast veg in 30 min for everthing. i think the burners will be fine, though the lacanche often had too much fire power. hope i like the blue star and the oven serves us well and dont have problrms with it. perhaps remind myself that the views in the new house are worth it!...See MoreConvection Steam Oven/Convection Oven or Double Ovens?
Comments (5)The convection steam oven can be used just like a normal convection oven though it heats up much quicker. With our family of four we use it the most of all the oven's (have a 30" Wolf below it and a 36" BS range). Almost anything we do for a dinner can be done in the steam oven rather than heating up and dirtying one of the larger ovens. It roasts meat and chickens the best of any oven using convection humid mode. Bakes bread excellent except for high heat baking (only goes to 445), use it for cookies, dutch/german pancakes, makes an excellent crust on any food. Don't get caught up in the 'steamed food' mindset, it's all convection oven when you want it to be. We do use the steam mode for veggies (we'll never micro them again), sometimes fish, though I do prefer fish baked or fried. It makes excellent rice and I've even done pasta in it (though not as handy as I like checking pasta in a pan for perfect doneness). It's the only way we make rice now. I've made custards in it, works great, no water bath. Reheating food is great, again no more micro for that. There are a lot of modes that make food more convenient to prepare. My DW likes to make hard boiled eggs in it (obviously not boiled), she just leaves them in the paper carton and steams them, got to be careful taking them out if not on a cookie sheet as the paper gets pretty limp. I made brown sugar (turbinado) bacon in it last weekend and it turned out awesome, nice and crisp in about 25 minutes. Like I mentioned we use it a LOT. It's a bit pricey for a rice cooker, or a micro replacement but for all the other things it does I would lose my 30" Wolf over the steam oven anyday of the week. For me the only limitation is the heat range as max is 445 but I do make cast iron pan pizza in it and it turns out wonderful. For normal pizza I crank the BS to 'beyond' 500, some breads want a higher heat. It doesn't have a broiler so having at least one oven with one works great. I have the Wolf CSO so do fill the water reservoir manually but that's maybe twice a week at the most and takes all of a minute. We've had ours over 2 years and still haven't used it to it's full potential. Once you get it you'll understand how great it is, it will inspire you to cook differently and more conveniently with better results over a std oven or microwave. IMO there s/b one in every kitchen, it's more of a workhorse than any other appliance....See MoreBosch convection oven error code E011: well, that didn't take long!
Comments (58)It is now 2018 and I am wondering if bosch sent me your broken ovens. Currently, I used mine got the different error codes called my salesman who told me to trip the circuit breaker. It did reset but then I would get additional error codes so they e sent the Bosch technician who looks like he just graduated high school, he looked at it and like you say when they are in the house you cant get an error code. Of course he leaves and what happens I get an error code. Call for service again and he tells me he needs to order all these parts. I tell him he needs to write in his notes that customer is requesting a new oven. He says he will send request to bosch and it is up to supplier to work it out with bosch. So, now I am waiting for a NEW oven, I am still under warranty but they agreed to change it. So I see these complaints from 2016, dont you think Bosch would have done something technical with this issue? Curious to see how long new oven willtake...See Morechipshot
