Jennifer in MI Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Hey all! I think our 20 year old oven is FINALLY giving out. When we set the oven for 450, it only ever gets up to 375. Occasionally, a burner just won't work. I don't want to spend any money on fixing a 20 year old stove!!! So, what do you recommend? Sears had a couple on a HUGE discount. One was a Jenn-Air. One was a Maytag. We want gas. And, I want a double oven. One of them had gas burners, but an electric oven. Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweed Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I just bought a new double oven (KitchenAid) two weeks ago. I'm still getting a feel for it so I can't recommend it yet. What I was told is that if you are a baker, it is preferable to have gas stove and electric oven because gas is a "wet" heat and food doesn't brown as well as with electric "dry" heat. HTH!

Brigitte Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 An electric oven gives more even heating, as in consistent temperature, that a gas oven. At least that is what I was told. I have had gas ranges twice in my life time and both had gas for the oven and worked just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicAnn Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 We have a Maytag with a double oven. We love the double oven. It heats up faster and we use it for about 80% to 90% of our baking. Then for big baking days like Thanksgiving it is great to have two ovens going. We have electric because that is what the house has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the JennAir double ovens -- these: http://www.jennair.com/flash.cmd?/#/product/JJW2730WS/ One is a convection oven, the other is "traditional." I. LOVE. MY. OVENS. :) Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I have this one: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_02269873000P?prdNo=2&blockNo=2&blockType=G2 It is absolutely beautiful to look at, but I would not recommend it. We've had quite a bit of trouble with it -- and of course, it all started right after the warranty ran out! :banghead: We also have a matching Electrolux Icon refrigerator that's nothing to write home about, either.
