If space is tight, then there is one more option you could add to your list. That would be a Double Oven Range. Some of these are more like an oven and a half. We've had one of these for the last few years, and it has been handy. The 1/2 oven gets used frequently for things like casseroles, or other flattish type things that we bake. We're switching to a double wall oven since we have a big family and now have the space for a wall oven in our new house. But the double oven range was a great compromise in our last house. We definitely can use 2 ovens, but I think I'm going to miss having the small oven for it's super-fast heat ups. That was really convenient.

I did option C: cooktop, with a separate wall oven with Advantium speed cooker over it.

I don't use the oven a lot, so I didn't see the need for a 2nd oven. And if I did, I had the Advantium.

And a little great toaster oven (in the pantry).

But if you need 2 ovens, I prefer option B, mainly because I don't like someone using the oven at the range while I'm trying to cook there.

Cooking over a hot oven and having to scoot aside for DH to open/close the oven, etc, while I'm using the cooktop = no go.

My oven and cooktop are at opposite ends of the kitchen: DH uses the oven in his zone, and I use the cooktop in my zone.

Thanks laughable and Amanda---

Amanda, that is exactly the type of advice I was looking for with the advice about option B. Thanks!

We did a 48" range w/ large and small oven. I like this setup- as we there was no good functional space to put in wall ovens. We are not moved in yet, but I have always had an under-the-counter oven and don't find them difficult to use. So I think it will work well! :-)

Hmmm, interesting idea live_wire_oak. I will have to play around with that and see if we could make it work. I like the idea of the ovens being at a convenient height--- which would definitely be more custom with two seperate wall ovens. Thanks!

thepeppermintleaf, another great idea! I will look into those!

I did a range with oven and kept my existing but almost new Bosch wall oven with microwave. It was the only way to get two ovens in my kitchen without a major hassle. I find it is working so far. They are on the same wall but i dont use the two ovens at the same time often. I just wanted the option.

My new range replaced an electric cooktop. We converted to gas and bought a dual fuel range.

The only issue with a double oven is that you have to be careful how you install them. Raising the lower oven to a nice height usually means the upper oven will be too high for most people. I'm 5'10" and I think our upper oven is too high off the ground. I vote for Live_Wire_Oak's idea (#1) or your Option A.
