The problem with the double oven ranges is the biggest oven is the lowest one. Not a good position. I use mine about as often as you, so when I would want two I plan carefully. The turkey or ham go on the grill.

Single oven with a microwave / convection would be sufficient.

Love my double oven. Might only really need it for holidays but almost can't cook a holiday dinner without it.

I have never cooked in a convection oven before. How does everyone like using the convection oven as a second oven for holidays? Does it cook the same?

I've had two convection ovens and reallyhave not noticed a difference. Maybe gas makes a difference.

Convection cooking is awesome for speed and even cooking. I use it always for cookies , roasts that I cook to a certain doneness , I don't use it for bread as I find my bread is nicer without . I don't turn convection on for meats I like to cook low and slow. I have a 6 burner 36" gas range with a huge oven and 2 full size wall ovens that are electric they all have the convection feature but I have a catering business. I think if you have a 36" range with a nice big oven with convection feature you can prepare a holidy dinner with just a touch of planning
