Help me decide gas range/steam oven VS range top/wall ovens

9 years ago

For my new kitchen, I'm deciding between a 36" Wolf gas range and a steam oven in the wall (maybe Miele).... or 36" range top with two 30" wall ovens: steam/convection on top and convection below (maybe Bosch benchmark). I prefer the look and convenience of the range top and wall ovens, but am concerned about having enough space for large dinners.

We are a family of 5, I cook dinner most nights and host a few big holidays a year. I'm thinking specifically of Thanksgiving and worried about not having space for everything else with a turkey filling up all or most of the large oven.

I want to keep my budget for these cooking appliances around $10,000, give or take. I know that the most logical compromise for space and cost would be to get the range top and double convection ovens, but I was really set on the steam.

Thank you!

I recommend that you post your question on the appliance forum. You will get more responses.

I would get the Wolf gas range, convection wall oven with the steam oven above it. This way you have the gas range oven for a large turkey, the convection and steam oven for other items,

I have a Wolf range and I love it!!!!

Thank you- this is my first time posting- I agree that solution would be ideal if cost and space were of no consequence, but it feels excessive for me to have 3 ovens and I'd rather allocate the money elsewhere in my kitchen.

If you think you will only need the extra oven for Thanksgiving, you could buy a Nesco. I roast my turkey in one. It can also be used to bake bread and other oven functions.

If you have your heart set on a steam oven, you should have one. You may never spend this much money on appliances again.
