Verona double oven 36 in dual fuel range
Comments (6)i have this range. I was cooking only in the small side oven of the Frigidaire Flair of the Bewitched period before, as the larger oven on the stove was irreparably broken, so the "large" oven of the Verona is spacious. I held Thanksgiving once for thirty with only a 10-11 inch oven. Normal sized casserole pans will fit in both ovens. My sheet pans are all 1/4 sized or slightly larger. The Verona ovens are narrow, but they also have less height and depth. Again as I had the Bewitched stove, I'm practiced with this size and actually far prefer it. I hate feeling like Hansel and Gretel in the witch's kitchen as she tries to shove them into the ovens. There is no danger of getting lost in the vast space of these ovens as they are conveniently small, but this is personal preference, and I'm sure inconvenient for some....See MoreWhich 36' ranges have a double oven?
Comments (5)Frantelli Onofri makes one as well. I really wanted one of these, but none of them had self cleaning ovens. I also have seen them in person and the ovens are pretty small inside. While I don't use the oven a ton, it was going to be difficult to get my medium roaster in there. I went with a 30" self-cleaning single oven instead. Not installed yet, but it was a good decision....See MoreGas range - Verona, Bluestar, Capital Precision, Bertazzoni?
Comments (5)I just spent the last few months looking at ovens. It would be helpful if someone would do a chart. I never found a Verona or a Capitol. I finally found a Blue Star and didn't care for the look. I have a vacation home and therefore two different kitchen setups. Over $6000.00 I didn't look at those ovens Over $3500.00 good quality sturdy racks, true convection oven, continuous grates, high speed burners, quality simmer burners, a must is a better ventahood for higher cpm, quality stainless steel, decorator look Dual Fuel requires 220 wiring. Some of the ovens have wok or griddles and some don't. Between $2000 and 3500, some with better racks than others, continuous grates, high speed burners, simmer burners are a bit high, good stainless steel quality, designer look, a ventahood may be necessary Between $1000 and 2000 microwave with fan is possible for the ventahood, self cleaning, timer, bake modes, convection oven, not as good quality stainless steel, little better racks than lower priced ranges; Between 500 and 1000 low quality stainless steel that can rust, scratch, show burn stains, few with ontinuous grates, most with flimsy racks, has a timer, regular burners, oven light, then there are the differences between the larger ovens and the smaller ovens. Smaller ovens pre heat faster. Take your favorite roasting pan and perhaps a 2nd pan to the store with you and place them in the oven and see how you like it. Bertazzoni height is small. American Range has a very large capacity. The Wolf has a very low simmer burner. The Viking grates are too heavy for me to clean up easily. A lot of the more expensive ovens do not have timers and some don't have temperature indicators or even oven off/on lights. Some knobs turn too easily and my new Kitchen Aid cooktop turns on when I clean. Also, I have to look twice to see if they are on or off. My new Kenmore electric wall ovens have a warm and hold feature and they heat evenly and rapidly. I'll be afraid to use the self cleaning oven for fear it will burn out the electronics. The Bertazzoni burners take an extra 3 seconds to start. The oven needs to be started with the door ajar. Some of the ovens I looked at have oven burners that will light with a match others don't. I liked the write ups on the Blue Star but when I saw it - I knew immediately it was not for me. There is a great deal of discussion about open burners vs. closed burners. I really liked the American Range but didn't want to spend that much money and I wanted a stainless steel top and the one I saw was black porcelain. My last oven rusted (a builder's model) so the quality of the stainless steel was very important to me. Take a magnet with you when you shop to see which stainless steel is better. The Bertazzoni went on sale for just under $2000 and I decided to go with that price. Did I get everything I wanted? - not quite. Do I really like my new oven? Absolutely. The look is exactly what I wanted, the stainless steel is high quality, the simmer burner is not low enough, the high speed burner is more than I need. The information says it is not necessary to preheat. There is no indicator beep when it does preheat. It has continuous grates that are the right weight for me and I find the closed burners and stainless steel exceptionally easy to clean. The oven is a little small but preheats rapidly and I think for my family it will be fine. It has good lighting. The fan noise is like my microwave on low. It turns off when you are through cooking. Some ovens keep blowing and continue the noise. Previously, I never used my self cleaning oven and this one doesn't even have one. I miss having a timer and will be buying something hopefully with a long ring. There are no electronics to burn out so I'm hoping I won't have repair problems. I purchased an oven thermometer to check the temperature. Either the oven or the thermometer is slightly off but not enough to cause any problems. I will probably purchase another thermometer to see which is correct. The convection, I assume, will take getting used to and so far I prefer not to use it. I did use it to dehydraate the other day and it worked fairly well making 'kale'. I like the heavy black knobs and I read that some of the stainless metal knobs on other ovens get hot. The black knobs are easy to read after one day of getting used to them and I immediately can tell if they are on or off. In addition, some ovens let heat out the front and possibly get hot. I am used to the ovens that let heat out the back top and don't feel I will get burned that way. I hope someone will make a chart. GOOD LUCK finding the right appliance for you....See MoreVerona double oven range?
Comments (0)Does anyone have experience with this brand? They carry a 36 inch double oven gas range for about 3,000. Too good to be true? Thanks....See Moresskit
