Even though double ovens have been out for a little over 50 years, curiosity can still bring up the question “is this for me?”. We are here to discuss if it is right for you as well as the pros and cons.

Pros:

  • Flexibility

You have the ability to cook multiple dishes at once at different temperatures.

  • Space

Obviously, what comes with two ovens is more space which is ideal if you're entertaining or have a larger family.

  • Features

New and advanced features such as convection cooking, therefore, can cook multiple dishes at once evenly consistently.

  • Energy Saving

Being able to cook multiple dishes at once means less time required to have your oven turned on, therefore, saving energy as well as saving money on your electricity bill.

Cons:

  • Size

Double ovens are typically large and bulky, which typically end up not being the best for smaller kitchens. They also usually offer less inside cooking space than traditional ovens.

  • Cost

Ovens of this nature are not only a significant investment due to the technology they possess but they also would have to be installed if it were to be a custom kitchen.

  • Shorter height

These ovens will usually be significantly shorter in height. Be sure the study the one you are entertaining in purchasing.

  • Drawer and Broil Feature

Now not everyone may utilize these options, but they definitely would be missed come the day you need them.
