Do we need a Gas oven?

16 years ago

My wife (and I somewhat) would prefer one gas and one electric oven, but do we really need the gas? Right now, she has a gas range and an electric wall oven, which satisfies that desire. For the tear out re-do at my house, we prefer to go with induction for the cooktop.

So the choices seem to be

1) an induction range plus a wall gas oven

2) cooktop plus stacking an electric and a gas wall oven

3) cooktop plus two stacked electric ovens, one of which could be steam or whatever.

Are there advantages to the gas oven that cannot be matched by electric, or electric steam or something else? I don't really care about roasting in the oven -- that can be done in the gas grill. The choices for gas wall ovens do not seem that great, and maybe not that easy to stack with an electric one.
