36 inch range with two ovens?

11 years ago

In trying to lay out our new kitchen, my musts are two ovens (though not necessarily two full sized ovens) and a roomy cooktop. Currently planning for a 36 inch gas cooktop with double electric wall ovens.

But just curious: are there options for a 36 inch range with two ovens, like a larger version of this Kitchen Aid?
Thanks!

If I couldn't have my Lacanche and had to chose, I'd chose Option A. 36" ranges have very large ovens that take a long time to heat up. Many people with 36" ranges have smaller speed or steam 2nd ovens and comment they use their speed/steam oven most of the time. My speculation is that it just takes a long time to heat up a 36" oven (estimates I got were 25-30 minutes). With a double wall oven you'd probably have 30" ovens though I'd recommend a smaller 24" and a 30".

The smaller oven on the Lacanche range with the large cooksop was definitely a selling point for us...uh, me, since DH wanted whatever I wanted.

They make 36'' ranges with 2 small to tiny side by side ovens. No one has yet to adopt the much more sensible horizontal division of space that many 30'' range manufacturers have done.

We have a 39" Lacanche. They have a lot of ranges with customizable configurations and you can get one with two ovens. Though they are not inexpensive, they are beau-ti-ful and cook like a dream. frenchranges.com (see the Cluny for an example)

I think the Cluny is the most popular model. We got a Volnay (also popular) in French Blue which has a larger oven than the Cluny and a warming cupboard that goes to 250F plus a separate small wall oven (we were greedy on the appliances, lighter on the other kitchen changes). It's the same cooktop as the Cluny.

The ovens are much smaller than conventional US ovens but I had an old vintage range GE and loved the small ovens, same as I do now. They heat up quickly and fit everything we need including a 16 lb turkey at thanksgiving that fed our party of 13. Here's one of my favorite pics to-date. They are a splurge, but cook like a dream.

Thanks.

So this all raises another question:

Option A: 36 inch cooktop, double wall ovens, counter microwave

Option B: 36 inch range with single oven, double wall oven with one regular oven, one microwave.

Which is preferable and why?

Now I'm thinking possibly something like the Verona with 2 ovens would work. Hmmmm. Decisions, decisions!

Maybe a AGA cast iron oven? I've heard great reviews from people that own one...
