The use today, of stainless steel wall ovens has become extremely widespread. They save a good deal of room, and look very modern and up to date. Available in Gas, electric or convection and single, single-double and double ovens, these can be added to most kitchen layouts without much difficulty. They can even be combined with microwave ovens.
The one factor to keep in mind, when deciding on ovens that mount into the walls, is the need also to have a cook surface. Standard ranges have the cooktop over the baking area while wall-mounted units, as they are recessed into the walls, do not have this. The cost of this method of cooking is more expensive than a regular range. The upside is the position of the baking area.
Wall units are excellent for busy family kitchens and for smaller kitchens with less space. Because they are installed at a higher level than conventional cookers, it makes it easier on the chef and on the chefs back. Smaller units measuring 24 to 27 inches across are available and suitable for smaller kitchens, but family kitchens really need the addition of a full sized 30 inch unit.
There are major discussions among cooks as to whether it is better to cook with gas or with electric. Although, the wall-units do exist as gas powered, these models are not nearly as common as the electric models. It is felt that the electric units cook more evenly. As gas ovens are cooler at the bottom requiring the alternating of food from rack to rack during cooking, this causes more work.
Convection ovens are also available as walled units, or can be combined with another traditional cooking single wall unit. A single unit has one door, and one temperature control. Although, this may be all that is needed in a small kitchen, a larger kitchen, or one where the cook is enthusiastic, may require something more extensive. This can be handled in one of two ways.
Single-double units are the same size as a general single unit, but they are split into two separate ovens. One part may be larger than the other. Both have their own doors, and their own temperature controls. This is an excellent option for the busy family home. A true double unit is two completely separate units, in full size. You can see that it will take up more room than the other unit. These can be installed one of the other, or side by side.
The other nice thing about wall units is the ability to mount a microwave oven above or below the single or single-double regular unit. Microwaves are large and take up a great deal of counter space this change will increase the available counter space. This combining all of the cooking units in one small area can make for a very efficient cooking environment.
In summary, stainless steel wall ovens are an excellent alternative to a kitchen design. They are available in gas and electric, come as single, single-double, or double models, and can even be combined with a Microwave. Their space saving and cook area condensing, make them excellent for smaller kitchen designs.
