Your kitchen is too small for anything but a 30" range. I have this one with 5 burners and the oven gives me the option of two ovens or just one. Very versatile and is available in gas.

A commercial grade cooking system requires a commercial grade exhaust. Plus Make Up Air. Expect the complete ventilation system to cost as much, or more, as the cooking appliances that you choose.

I don't see a 48" range working at all well in that small kitchen. Not if you want people o have room to work in it too. A double oven range, with a MW convection oven elsewhere would give more than enough cooking capacity.

The 48" range is out. What about putting the 2 wall ovens right next to your current range to the right. You'd keep your cooktop in the island, and would not lose much counter space. Of course, you'd replace your current range with a cabinet.

You definitely need to get a designer in there to look at your current configuration and recommend a better layout. It would drive me crazy to have the fridge on the other side of the kitchen like that.

I think you could do a 5 burner 36" cooktop on the island, but you would need to enlarge it (minimum 8'x3.5'... if you could do 8'x4' that would be even better). It does look like you have the space for a larger island. Also, I don't see any ventilation for the island cooktop, so you probably need to have a downdraft installed.

Regarding the oven, I would do a double stack. It sounds like they would both get used.

I recently renovated my kitchen. We have all holidays at our house and since the reno, there is lots of room for everyone.

1. NO seating at the island. Causes a huge logjam. Plus, it is redundant because less than 8' away is a table with chairs.

2. Remove microwave from above the stove. No one can help you if they have to move over you to get to the microwave.

3. A double oven all in one range. I have the Maytag Gemini and I love it. I can have 2 different temps and I have lots of room. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Maytag-Gemini-6-7-cu-ft-Double-Oven-Electric-Range-with-Self-Cleaning-Convection-Oven-in-Stainless-Steel-MET8720DS/205311247

4. IMHO, remove the cooktop from the island. You have no place to place things that you remove from the fridge, which causes a huge log jam if they cannot use the island to put things on.

5. Find a place to make a "drink" station. A place where people can get a drink with out getting in your way in the kitchen.

6. Make sure there is at least 42" between the island and the dishwasher and if you have seating at the island 60" between the island and the refrigerator.

7. Can you make the island longer, so it is even with the wall cabinets? Mine is 2'x 66".

8. Can you make the pantry a bit smaller and add a base cabinet, countertop and upper cabinet to move people out of the main part of the kitchen and they can get a drink without getting in your way?

Visit my home page to see my kitchen reno if you choose. It is in my idea books under Kathi_Steele's ideas.

I was thinking to use that area where you have your range and microwave and the cabinets next to it at the right.

It looks like 36" would be fine.

I've had double wall ovens in my condo(owned it for 10 years), and my home(12 years old), with cooktops. I can never go back to a range. It is so convenient. We made a turkey breast(3 hrs to cook) for Sunday's dinner and used the other oven to cook a starch.

It's hard to say without dimensions, but from the pictures, it looks like you have room for a 36".

If you keep the fridge where it is, you can add some upper cabinets for storage.

No, I don't think it is big enough for a 36". Be sure and have them center the range on the wall, instead of being off center like it is now. If you go with 36", you lose the ability to get a range with double ovens. And if you want 2 ovens, then you will have to plan more space for them.

A cooktop on an island is a fire waiting to happen, especially if you have children who use the island. Also, grease spatters go EVERYWHERE.

I'm currently building, and like mama dada, I'm doing Bosch appliances with a built-in oven stack and cooktop on the island. For me, I wouldn't want the cooktop facing the wall for the same reason as mama dada and Dawn Y—I like to entertain and be part of the conversation while I cook the meal. Splatters are going to happen regardless of where the cooktop is located and I don't believe there are any facts to support that island cooktops are more prone to fire.

They aren't more prone to fire, but they ARE more prone to burning friends and family, and coating the kitchen with muck because of the usual inadequate gawdawful downdraft. Cooking is only 10% of the time spent in a kitchen. Prep is 70%. A social island is one that functions as a prep island, not a cooking zone.

That might be true for some Sophie Wheeler, but I do my prep work before guests arrive. It's the cooking I do while being social with guests. Never had an issue with muck or burns in my current kitchen, so I don't expect I will in my next. I will say that you do need a rather large island to pull it off, though. OPs is far too small as it is currently.

I've always liked having double wall ovens and a separate cooktop. I think you have room for them in your kitchen. You can gain space by using taller cupboards to the ceiling and enlarging your island.
