Tips For Buying Built Under Double Ovens

Built under double ovens are a (professional or home) chef’s prized equipment. Their dual ovens make them very versatile and fast cookers, as you can bake, roast, broil or even barbecue your favorite dishes at twice the speed as a single-oven cooker.

Before buying heading to a double oven sale, consider these questions first:

What is a Built Under Double Oven?

Built under double ovens are types of ovens which you fit in a housing cabinet underneath your kitchen worktop (around 72cm high), compared to built-in ovens which are built at eye level (around 90cm high). These types of ovens are normally chosen even before the kitchen is actually built, as a substantial space in the kitchen needs to be allotted for them. They are fixed in one space or corner of the kitchen, and are hardly ever mobile, unless the kitchen is reorganized or remodelled.

What are the types of Built Under Double Ovens?

Although most built under double ovens come in electric models nowadays, there are still gas models available. An even rarer breed is the dual fuel model, which comes in both gas and electric.

What are the differences between the fuel types?

  • Gas models are quicker to heat up and cheaper than electric or combo models. Most gas models are usually cooler at the bottom and hotter at the top, making cooking temperature uneven. This is alleviated nowadays, though, by having a fan option.
  • Electric models are more modern and offer more features such as varying cooking methods. And because they are more modern, they come in a wider selection of styles, colors and finishes. Since you don’t need to consider the gas connections, electric models are usually more flexible in terms of where you can install them in the house. Also, electric models cook more evenly because of the default fan-assisted option. However, electric ovens do need to be preheated before putting in food, since they heat up slower than gas ovens.
  • Dual fuel cookers are simply that, cook with dual fuels, or a combination of gas and electricity. This ingenious harmony of the heating speed of gas ovens and the convenience and programmability of electric appliances make these types of ovens a favorite choice nowadays for the wise consumer. The drawback here is there are still a limited number of choices for dual fuel or combo models today.

What are the features of Built Under Double Ovens?

  • Built under ovens have varied dimensions, making them a good choice for different needs. The larger main oven can carry about 45-70 litres of space, while the smaller top ovens capacity is 30-35 litres, and usually doubles as a grill option.
  • Most electric double ovens come with a fan-assisted option for better heat distribution.
  • Multi-function cooking options allow you to cook using heat from both the top and the bottom of the oven, allowing for more even cooking.
  • Most built under ovens have timers that time cooking and usually have alarms that go off when time is up.
  • Modern double under ovens have programmable functions. These features can do almost anything, from when to turn the oven on, timing the cooking, and turning the oven off when cooking is done.
  • Some ovens have a steam function. These ovens have built-in water tank integrated with the oven. Water is heated up until it vaporizes and provides steam as another healthy cooking option.
  • Some ovens have a rotisserie option as well.
  • Modern ovens provide a thermometer or meat probe. This accessory tells you when a section or joint of a piece of meat is cooked.
  • The neatest of ovens even offers a pizza mode. This mode tells you when your pizza is perfectly done, whether you like it doughy or crisp.
