The season for warm, hearty meals has arrived! Whether you start planning your infamous Holiday parties the day after New Years or it's your turn to host the family gathering, your oven plays a vital part in all the Holiday activity. A wall oven can be a great addition to your kitchen this Fall to handle your Holiday hosting and entertaining. With all the different styles and options, it can be difficult to pick the right wall oven for your specific kitchen and lifestyle. Here we go over the wall oven basics to help you find the perfect wall oven for you!
Size Wall ovens come in standard widths of 24, 27, 30, and 36 inches, with 30 inches being the most common. If you’re replacing an existing oven, you will just need to measure your current oven and cabinet cutout. Some models can vary by an inch or two so be sure to have the correct actual measurements. If you’re not sure, just schedule an appointment with our appliance experts and we’ll be glad to help you out.
Capacity The goal for choosing the right capacity for your wall oven is having enough space to cook everything without overcrowding your kitchen. If entertaining is your thing and you love to cook for a lot of people, a double wall oven will give you the most space and flexibility, such as the Jenn-Air Connected Double Wall Oven with 10.0 of cubic feet to fit the biggest of turkeys and all the yams you can imagine. However, if you mostly just cook for you and your small family, a single wall oven will likely meet your cooking needs. You can still enjoy the flexibility of two separate ovens in the size of a single oven with a single/double wall oven like this one from GE Monogram that features 5.0 cubic feet of capacity and the ability to cook two different dishes at two different temperatures at the exact time.
Door Styles While the pull-down door is the most common style found on wall ovens, there is also the side-opening door to consider. Wall ovens with side-opening doors, like the Bosch Benchmark 30" Convection Single Oven and the GE Monogram French Door Single Oven allows you to easily access the oven without the door being in your way.
Cooking System No matter the size or style of oven you choose, the most important thing is it needs a cooking system that roasts, broils, and bakes well. Convection cooking constantly moves air around the oven capacity to get rid of any cold spots for the most consistent heat to evenly cook your foods. GE Advantium technology, like the one found in the GE Cafe 30" Combination Convection Double Wall Oven, combines halogen bulbs, microwave energy, and convection to let you cook up to 8x faster than a conventional oven.
Features With today’s technology, there are all sorts of features found on wall ovens that will either completely simplify your cooking experience or will barely be used at all. Opt for features that add convenience and versatility. Start with basic features like a built-in temperature probe, audible preheat signal, delay-start and keep-warm modes, preprogrammed cook settings, and a lock-out mode. Then go for the more incredible features that basically do the cooking for you, like the Jenn-Air Culinary Center which customizes each cooking cycle based on your preferences to create your perfect meal.
