I may not be much help at all here, because I've never tried to slow cook in my warming drawers. Typically I use it to either warm tortillas, or keep a casserole or plates warm while something else is cooking in the oven. I had a Thermador for 26 years, and it still worked fine, but during our kitchen freshen-up last year, I wanted a paneled front, so I found a Viking that fit. It functions no better, or worse than the Thermador. Interesting, you say the Viking goes to 250* I had no idea it got that hot! It really doesn't seem to be any warmer than my old Thermador, maybe it went to 250* as well? I've never checked with a thermometer... And no moisture problems with the paneled front so far, after almost a year, knock on wood ;)

I decided to change and go with option 2. I wound up looking at the user manuals at the different pre set cooking differences on the steam ovens and the main ones are still there on the pro grand steam.

Dar, I don't have SBP, I have no idea how many presets there should be. Presets go in the 'Preset' folder and Masks go in the 'Mask' folder. The best way to learn how to use a mask is to use a tutorial that calls for a mask. Joy Here is a link that might be useful: How to use a Mask in PSP7

Hi Donna, I got the older professional models. I believe they came out with new ones about 4 months after I bought my ovens (about 3 years ago). They were liquidating the floor models. I was not even aware they came as a single unit. There is a shelf between my two ovens. I got the Thermador induction 36KITCB with the 5 burner spots, but based on your other post (I tried to message you directly as an answer and stumbled on your other post with the picture of the wolf and your grilled cheese) you look like you want the whole thing as a burner. We don’t have a large set of pans and my wife keeps saying we should buy a couple bigger ones. We just have a cast iron, a 12 inch, a 10 inch and a Wok so don’t need much more. Never had an issue but we never make more than 4 things at once. I love induction so far. So much easier to clean than gas. Water boils super quick and I enjoy the temperature responsiveness. My concern was when I read the reviews on the freedom it had some electrical kinks. I assume they have worked that out or you can get the guaranty. Personally I liked the look of the wolf induction top more and had I not got a great deal on my Thermador I would all things being equal pick the wolf. They are both good brands and make quality products. Since you also mentioned you will need new pans. I have an All Clad 5ply and a couple 3 ply Scan pans. I actually find myself reaching for the Scanpan more. For what it is worth for Dishwashers I read Miele and or Bosch products (Thermador or gaggenau) were best. I wanted one with the salt and quiet since I read it cleans better and is less likely to have that smell. Hope this helped!
