Miele double oven or Wolf 48' AG range
Comments (5)What type of rangetop if you do the wall ovens? Wolf 48? Probably the most cost effective approach is the 48 range. A Wolf rangetop/Meile dbl wall oven is probably about ?9,900? (using TOL Meile) while the Wolf 48 AG range is about 7,500 I think? I am using Bluestar prices as a proxy b/c they were priced very similarly when I was going through the same analysis. As for cooking, I am not a "chef" but I would think the concensus would be that the wall ovens are the most versatile. They say gas does meat best and electric does bread and pastries best. I know my current 36 AG Wolf cooks breads/biscuits/cookies etc hard on the bottom no matter what I do. I have used both gas and electric to cook roasts and both do a fine job. Also, with the dbl wall oven configuration you will have 2 full size ovens (I assume you are using 30 inch ovens?), time bake, programmable features etc. However, with the wall ovens, you don't get the infrared broiler and it is great! If memory serves me, my delimma was that I wanted a 60 inch cooking surface in the end. Very few companies make that in a range top and when they do, the most burners you can get is 6. Then you have to take a griddle/grill/salamander broiler configuration for the other 4 burners. So I went with Bluestar 60 AG range and the Wolf 30 inch wall oven. Sorry...I rambled on....See More48" range versus double ovens?
Comments (6)H202, I went through a similar quandary myself. How often do I need double ovens? Do I want to bend over with a bad back and neck today to pick up a dutch oven with chicken or a roast in it? How about a monster turkey or huge ham when I am even older? I ended up taking an unconventional path. After having a stand alone oven mounted beneath the countertop (what was I thinking - young and inexperienced) I soon learned the value of a wall oven. So, how about a wall oven and a standard stove with oven? That gives you a main oven at easy waist level and special occasion casserole/cake/bread/etc. oven below your cooktop. The other option if you can give up the wall space is a wall oven and separate steam oven both at a waist level. I'm not a fan of double ovens stacked in a single unit but, side-by-side setups are sweet. The standard steam ovens are generally the European "20 inch" size stuffed into either a 27" or 30" oven shell. The Gaggenau Wall Oven and Steam Oven side-by-side I saw was to die for other than the wasted space for the steam oven cavity to have matching fronts. It certainly had a lot of eye appeal....See Morepros and cons of double ovens in a 48” inch drop in range
Comments (7)Have you considered a 36” range with a 27” or 24” wall oven? (Assuming you'll have a microwave, it could go above the wall oven.) I don’t know how much difference 3” or 6” will make in your available space, but just thought I’d mention it. I have a 30” Thermador duel-fuel range and a 27” GE wall oven, and would you believe that the 27” oven is nearly as large as the 30”? ...and it’s actually deeper! If you’re really tight on wall space, I highly recommend the Wolf Gourmet countertop oven, which can hold 9” x 13” casserole dishes! I just got one about two weeks ago and I’ve used it every single day. By the way: Who makes a 48” drop-in range?...See More48 in. range vs 36 in. range with double wall oven???
Comments (20)I would go with the 36" and double wall ovens. I would probably put two ovens side by side versus one over the top of the other. However, I don't use my oven that much. I mostly use my 36" induction cooktop and/or my outdoor grill. Like chispa, I'm in FL so find I don't need double ovens for how I live. Also like chispa, I came from cooking with gas and now cook with induction. I will never willingly go back to gas....See Morenyrgirl35
