Berta Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 We need to replace our wall oven and I really would like to get a double oven. Our oven space is only 24 inches. I don't do a ton of cooking, but I do cook every day for dinner. We don't have a big family, there are only four of us here. I don't really need a double oven, but I figured it can't hurt to have a second oven. Pro's and con's? It really is more of a want then a need. It's not something we plan on having to replace again anytime soon so it's not like I can change my mind later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansrme Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Oh yes. I love having a double oven. Once you have a double, you'll never want to go back. Eighty percent of the time, I only use the top oven, but when I need both, I would not trade the second for anything. I put oven cleaner in my top oven last night and didn't get around to cleaning it out until after dinner tonight, and just for that one day, I missed having two ovens. On the other hand, it was nice to have "an" oven while one was cleaning. A double oven isn't that much more expensive, so if you have the space, I don't think you will ever regret it.

Matryoshka Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Yes. I love my double-oven. I don't bake a ton, but when I do, it seems like I always need them both going. Thanksgiving, batches of Christmas cookies, heck, any batches of cookies in general. I can't imagine only having one now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 My new stove has one full-sized oven and one half-sized. I use two ovens more than I ever thought I would. There are only four of us, so I use the small oven 80 percent of the time, but it's great having options. If you can pay cash, I say go for it. You'll LOVE it during the holidays. Heck, I didn't even cook for Thanksgiving, but the Boston Market I ordered filled both ovens and I put things in different ovens at different times so it was all ready at once.

Mergath Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 If I had the option, I would absolutely love to have a second oven. Being able to have two ovens going at different temps would give me so much flexibility in my cooking. And don't even get me started on holidays.

icollectkids Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I've never had one before until we moved into this house. I love it! Of course, I cook for 9 people every day....LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinchick Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I never thought I'd want one but there was already one here when we moved in. I don't think I could live without it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vida Winter Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Absolutely. It was my splurge when we built our house. I use both of them constantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeegal Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Ahh, those kitchen dreams: A double oven... 6 burner stove.... I'd love to have a double oven. We often have to compromise on cooking temperature for various dishes, wait for a dish to finish cooking, or simply need more room than our oven can handle. My opinion is to go for it! :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbridgeacademy Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I had a double oven once, I miss it dearly. To help make up for it I have a toaster oven.... so NOT the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Well, I don't like to cook much & we had to replace our combo stovetop/oven years ago. We actually put in a smaller oven that what we had originally. It has been totally fine for our family of four. So, I'll be the naysayer & vote for one oven being enough.

Tammi K Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Yes, yes, a hundred times yes!!!! You will be amazed at the convenience. We built our dream kitchen and installed a double Dacor wall oven. :drool5: Oh heaven! It was a dream. And then we moved and I had to leave it. :ohmy: A sad, sad day, I assure you. :thumbdown: Since then we have had other double ovens. I've loved them all - just not quite as much as my first.

nmoira Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 We just purchased a new gas range. I thought about getting one with a double oven, but a warming/slow cook drawer (slow cook at low 140F, high 180F) made more sense for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freckles Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Yes!!! I have a wall double oven and an oven/stove combination. Cooking for the Holidays was a breeze. I love to have two batches of cookies or cupcakes going at once. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I love mine, :) especially when baking more than 1 pizza at a time or holidays. My parents mourn not having one because my mom would bake dinner on the bottom and always have fresh rolls baking on the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berta Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Thank you to everyone that responded! I was pretty certain that is what I wanted, so I'm going to go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMV Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I may be biased (or perhaps spoiled) but at this point I'm very used to life with a double oven. We recently put one in at one of our other homes and the cost really wasn't much more than having a regular oven. So, yeah, go for it! Enjoy your new kitchen and oven!

Matryoshka Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Thank you to everyone that responded! I was pretty certain that is what I wanted, so I'm going to go for it. We made it easy for you, since I think the vote was unanimous. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
