We went with double ovens as well...more flexibly...you have a "warming drawer", so to speak, with the 2nd oven, but you have a second oven to use as well

Good luck!

I'll be repeating what others have said. I can see the benefits of a warming drawer, but considered it less important and not as good a use of our money as a double oven. You can keep things warm in an oven, but not bake an extra pan in the warming drawer! :-) It's so nice to be able to roast enough chicken at once, or cook a few of our homemade pizzas at once, instead of cooking one pan, then waiting to have more.

We've always done OK with people warming their dinners in the microwave or toaster oven...So because we've never had a warming drawer, we don't miss it.

Ditto. We've had double ovens in our last two houses, but no warming drawer. I found that I was able to do just fine with the two ovens + a MW and cooktop. We warmed bread and side dishes in the bottom oven, while we used the broiler and bake modes in the top oven. MW to steam the veggies, cooktop for the main dish, rice, potatoes, etc. The addition of the MW, though, was useful -- I often had all three ovens cooking at once, even for simple family dinners.

I have the JennAir oven + a warming drawer. I wish I had gotten two ovens!!!! The warming drawer is seeing very little use.

Instead of double ovens, I went with a convection oven and a convection microwave. I love the convection microwave as I don't heat up an entire oven during the hot days of summer. I know it is not as big as a second oven capacity wise, but the way I cook I only need a second oven at Thanksgiving for pies. Good luck!

Definitely the double oven since an oven can double as a warming drawer and some ovens have a "proof" mode (or can be set low enough) for dough rising.

We were going to buy a warming drawer and single oven but the gal in the appliance center talked us out of it . . . and we are incredibly glad that she did! Instead, we went with the KA double oven, as it has a bread proofing setting. Both ovens go as low as 170-degrees, with one oven also capable of going down to 140-degrees to dry fruit, etc. The nice thing is that it also works very well keeping things warm if they're covered. I like that my double ovens work for me every day, baking or keeping things warm while I get my meals ready. The bread proofing mode is great, too!

I will just add another vote for double ovens. I never gave much consideration to a warming drawer. I even doubted the need for double ovens since I've never had them but I really enjoy having them - for all kinds of things including keeping things warm. Mine go down to 135 which works well keeping warm.

I would chime in on the double ovens -- although mine are not here yet. In "research", i.e. talking with folks who have done recent remodels, the consencus seems to be they either love the double ovens or wish that they had gotten double ovens instead of a warming drawer. We will have double ovens when the time comes.

Get a double oven that has a "warm/proof" option, mine has it (GE Monogram).

We're happy with our double oven. One thought, though -- some of the double ovens are set up with the big oven at the bottom and the shallow one at the top. That means that if you cook something big and heavy (like a turkey) in the big oven, you need to dead lift it from nearly the floor. Strikes me as a terrible design.
