double wall oven location help!

2 months ago

Hi! Designing a kitchen and I am going back and forth on where to put double wall oven. Prefer this so can have pot drawer under stovetop and higher height for oven.

I can put oven in three places, leaning toward #1 on pantry wall but I worry this is too far from everything else. We have 6 people in the house and around 3 of us at a time can be cooking. Sometimes all kids get involved and it’s nice to have bigger spaces to work with. I imagine island will be primary work/prep zone.

Our designer had rec location #2, but it makes the counter space smaller next to the stove.

Drawing is to scale with 1/4 in = 1 ft, but the location of things is not accurate with inches (imagine everything more centered)

Fridge will be counter Depth - trying to decide between 36’’ or a wider one (just so expensive). I want to do one of those side kick fridge/freezers but so expensive!!

Thought about moving fridge to pantry wall also, but find getting past island to be annoying especially to get things for breakfast.

Thanks for your comments and interested in what others think.

Put it on the end of the cabinet run to the left of the cooktop/hood. Should be relatively close to the stove top so you can easily transfer things from the stove to the oven.

Thanks for your comment! The counter space will be so small though between oven and stove, like 18 inches. I want to have more counter space next to the stove. Would putting it at the end of the pantry wall/cabinet be too far? Figured I can put hot things on counter or island.

Help. Double or single wall oven/How often do you use 2 ovens?

An update. We purchased a Fisher and Paykel double oven for $2600 delivered from an authorized dealer over Ebay of all places. I checked the wiring to our old oven and I was amazed to discover that although it was a 30 amp breaker they had used 8 gauge wire. I installed a 40 amp breaker and we were good to go. As mentioned in this thread, when you have the option of two dishes that require different temps. and oven modes to prepare you use what you have. Our menus have expanded since we installed the double oven. We purchased a countertop microwave in stainless to match the ovens. So far the biggest difference is that the FP oven is far superior compared to the Jennair that we had. I never thought that an oven would make such a difference. The same recipes taste so much better. Even a simple dish like roasted new potatoes with rosemary have a creamier texture while still remaining crisp. Based on my experience I would not hesitate recommending a double oven if you can accommodate them n your kitchen. Thanks for the advice offered....

I went with the Profile double-oven gas: here are my reasons. I like the smaller-size top oven for daily use, and the lower oven will only be used on occasion, so I'm ok with its location. (There's no room for a wall oven in my tiny kitchen -- and I have no plans to tear out cabinets and rearrange.) I'm a good cook, and I honed my skills on low-end domestic ranges because that's what was available: I don't need a commercial range to cook what I like, and I'm too busy with other aspects of my life to change my cooking style now. I also prefer not to deal with "pro" level BTUS and the ventilation complications they might add. I also am not willing to give up self-cleaning ovens -- which puts many pro-style ranges out of contention. I liked the slide-in setup and the angled control-knob location on the Profile, so that, and the price advantage, led me to choose it over the Cafe. Re: price, I bought mine from a local dealer, and I got the price down a bit by asking them to meet the ajmadison.com price. They didn't quite get there, but I was willing to pay a little extra for local sales/delivery/service reliability. Everyone's situation is a little different, but I found that the Profile slide-in fits best with my kitchen and the way I use it.

I currently have an electric coil cook top, double wall ovens and the MW on the counter. My new kitchen will have a Bosch 500 series 36" gas cook top and a 30" Whirlpool regular double wall oven. The MW will go in a nook above a counter. I love having wall ovens so I don't have to bend over. When I help in a kitchen with a regular stove if feels awkward use the oven. Also, I've had both of my hips replaced and I cook enough that that type of thing matters. I went low middle of the road with my appliances and am reusing some. After reading here about the temperamental nature and need for uber exhaust with the high end ranges, I didn't feel for my needs it was worth the extra money. I'm putting my money into cabinets and good mechanical / plumbing.

We rarely have a need for a microwave, but after doing without for three years I knew I wanted one. We opted for the Bosch speed oven, and use it much more than I thought I would. Use is about 30% speed cooking, 20% microwave, and 50% of the time we use it as a small convection oven. However, the oven that has fully won me over is the steam oven. It is wonderful, and after some glitches with the control board it is working flawlessly (Bosch has been top notch for repair and service). It does everything that a regular microwave does except pop corn. Food reheated in a steam oven doesn't even compare to food reheated in a microwave. I've used all three (speed, steam, full size convection) at the same time on quite a few occasions and love having them all. However, if I had to pick just one of the smaller ones to go with my full size it would be the steam. I'd put a tiny microwave in the pantry for that rare need. Good luck with your new ovens!

You have plenty of landing space in the corner to the right of the cooktop/hood. Plus you have the island. IMO, proximity to the cooktop takes precedence over landing space on the left side.

I think it depends on how you cook. For me, the pantry wall makes sense.

IMO it goes where it makes the most sense for how you cook. This is my kitchen the ovens are away from my range on purpose I run a catering biz and do not want all the work done in one space

My range is othe other side of the island

You design a kitchen for how you cook not for any other reason If it is pretty and does not function for you you will hate it in a very short time. Is the designer a cabinet salesperson or an independant KD . ales people just want to sell cabinets . Are all the bases drawers too. What are planning for a 48" sink it willtake forever to fill and why 2 sinks so close together when both are close to the fridge. I hve back to back sinks because even when just my hubby and I he does prep and I cook. IMO a sink larger than the range is bad design for sure . All walkways should be 48" if at all possible . Appliance garages are IMO totally dated and a huge waste of counter space . I have my mixer out only beciuse it is used evey day sometimes 2 or 3 x a day.The MW the same out where it is used . Coffee bar same . All other small appliances are put away either in the pullout pantries or drawers. I lkke my counters free for work not cabinets sitting talking up the spac e. I only have one DW it is a Bosch with a quick wash cycle it is 15 yrs old does sometimes 6- 8 loads a day and not one service call . The quick wash is approx 23 mins. works perfectly for huge dinner parties and catering.

I always find a microwave is handiest near the fridge…at eye level……. Out of the traffic pattern…for three obvious reasons …eye level easier to observe while cooking…counter space underneath very handy …kids out of the way when they are using it

Thanks for the comments! @patricia colwell , we have two sinks and DW bc we are doing a kosher kitchen (need meat and dairy separate). This is why I did two appliance garages - so microwave and toasters (each for dairy and meat) can go on counters and can be closed off when not used. But I do think the dairy one will be used quite a bit, so many be better to just do a microwave on shelf/above counters.

All walkways are 4 feet (48 in) at least. One sink is going to be 40 inches so can use it for dairy and the in-between dishes (not dairy and not meat, we call it pareve). Figured easier than doing two sinks there and 3 total sinks! I never fill up the sink with water. Was thinking it would be like one of those workstation sinks.

Thanks for the feedback! I think for our purpose going to put oven on pantry wall bc we have 2-3 people cooking in the house at a time. And will need to think about microwaves more
