The stainless steel wall ovens added to kitchen design are all the rage these days. They are certainly a nice addition to kitchen design and to kitchen living. Being available in gas and electric, with single and double version, they are eminently suitable to both large and small kitchens. Here we will run over a few of their features.
Installing wall-cooking facilities will require you to purchase a separate cook top. Today, you can select from any number of excellent cook tops that will make your cooking experience an enjoyable one. These do tend to be expensive, but a necessary with the built in cooking and baking facilities.
Installing the wall-units at a higher level than a traditional range, makes cooking much easier on your back. There is not nearly as much bending over. Compact units of 24 to 27 inches are available for smaller installations, but it is the standard size of 30 inches wide, which is most popular. Compact units are less expensive.
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.
Microwaves have become an absolute necessity in todays kitchens. Most take up a huge amount of space, considering their cooking area. If the kitchen design includes wall-mounted traditional cookers then it is easy to add the microwave to the same bank. This will centralize the cooking features, and leave plenty of free counter space to work with.
To summarize, stainless steel wall ovens can be a superb addition to your kitchen. You can add a number of cooking and baking spaces within a small space, and combine with a microwave and a convection oven it wanted. This will also make your kitchen look modern and very up to date.
