If I only have space for one built in appliance...

6 years ago

I only have one spot in my pantry to fit an “extra” built in appliance.
I really don’t want to have my counter space taken up by a microwave.
I’m overwhelmed by the options of speed oven, steam oven, and different combinations.
We will have a 48” hallman range as our main oven (and I also have an oven in the basement.)
Here are our “non full size oven” cooking needs:
On a daily basis we use our microwave for a quick bowl of oatmeal or to reheat a plate of leftovers for lunch/late dinner.
Kids will make themselves chicken nuggets, tater tots etc or other quick freezer foods.

Could a steam oven be a good option or will I still need a microwave on my counter?
I’ve been looking at this https://www.cafeappliances.com/appliances/csb913p4nw2/overview
Has a “crisp reheat” function which might work well for microwaving the freezer foods without having soggy results (basically replacing a toaster oven? Which we don’t have but the function would be nice for these items)

I will also have a built in coffee maker so I could potentially just boil up a cup of water (or steamed milk) to pour over my oatmeal instead of a microwaving a bowl.

Thoughts??
Thanks in advance
