Bosch Unveling Side-Swing Wall Ovens in the Spring!
Comments (33)I signed up for gardenweb so I could post to say thanks to you both, TSmith and Juno_barks for your comments on the Bosch side swing ovens. My husband and I are in the process of selecting appliances for a custom home kitchen and the timing of your postings is perfect. I am a big fan of swing ovens for function but Gaggenau has been out of my price range. That Bosch (I'm a long time fan and user of Bosch dishwashers) is making them now is great and we are planning to use side swiing wall ovens in this house. There aren't many customer reviews for them on line given they are so new, so your posts are great to see. Thanks for taking the time to post them! For anyone considering side swing v drop down, it is so much easier to get things into and out of a side swing oven. Light years easier as we age. I hope Bosch has good sales of these so they'll continue making them. That Siemens owns Bosch and Gaggenau both (and Thermador is in the mix now too) suggests they saw a market at the more approachable price point that Bosch provides....See Morewall oven next to fridge?
Comments (15)susanpn, the wall color in our kitchen is SW Wheat Grass. I would say it's more celery than lime, but in life it's not really celery color. On the small paint chip you see at the store it doesn't look quite as green as it shows when it's on the walls and there's a lot of it for light to bounce off of. I love the color. It's the only color I'm re-using from our current house. Green's my favorite color and this one is quite livable for such a large space. The adjacent family/great room is 2-stories and will also be the same color as there's no good place to break colors and I actually want that space to feel like one. The kitchen it about 20' by 21' and the great room portion is 18' by 21'. I would have made the great room a little bigger and the kitchen a little smaller, but ceiling line dictated where each of the spaces stopped/started. I think the wetbar area with will serve both the kitchen and great room with tie the two together. Here's not the greatest shot of how the rooms flow. Sorry, even though I rotated the picture in Photobucket and saved it that way, it continues to post sideways. I think the above two posts with the pictures of oven/fridge combos at the end of a bank of cabinets are really, really great. I love the open cabinets that redroze has - very nice. In both of these kitchen the cooktop is in a different location which would have eleviated my concern of feeling closed in at the cooktop. Again, this may not be a concern for you - you may actually like that feel better so please know that I don't think there's any right or wrong here. I'll try to check back later to see if you were able to post your layout....See MoreBosch Benchmark side swing ovens?
Comments (26)I'd like to install this Bosch right-hinge oven next to our refrigerator and our contractor is worried because in their instructions, it suggests a 10" clearance which I don't have. We have about 4" right now. Can anyone tell me - when this door is open to the fullest extent, does it open a full 180 degrees or something less than that? It seems like 4" should be more than enough but haven't heard from Bosch yet to know what they are recommending about 10" specifically....See MoreConvex oven: Bosch side-swing, Electrolux, Thermador, Miele?
Comments (70)That's a good question, wekick. Miele recipe book for combi steam oven does not have any recipe that use full grill with moisture, however, there are recipes that use combi mode full grill with 0% moisture. From Miele demonstrator's word when I took their cooking classes, she said that by default Miele oven retains some moisture during cooking. For the plain oven, there is a crisp function to release moisture which is done by opening up valve. This is akin to Wolf convection and convection humid mode in their CSO. For Miele combi, you have the option of setting moisture level to 0% to force the oven to release all the moisture possible. Despite there is no recipe in the book using grill with some moisture, the advertisement in Miele catalogue does claim that it is good for fish and meat. My self, I have got a pretty good result with white fish marinaded in sweet miso (saikyo miso fish) cooked in full grill combi mode with some moisture. It is cooked skin side up towards to grill. With preheated grill, and some humidity. outside is brown fairly quickly, and pretty much when the marinade starts to burn due to high sugar content, cooking is done....See MoreRelated Professionals
