We pretty much cook the amount you do and are currently building, but now it will be just the two of us. Luckily we are getting a 900 oven & cooktop package as a free upgrade with ceaserstone bench tops. My friend who has the same oven I will get has three young children and loves to cook said that the difference a 900 oven had made was amazing. This might be a good option for you I personally wouldn't want to clean two ovens hard enough with one!

Thanks!

If space and budget is not a concern I would choose a combo of a 90cm, or a 60cm pyro oven and a steam combination oven, and perhaps a microwave combo wall oven instead of a free standing one.

For my recent kitchen renovation, neither space nor budget would allow, so a single plumbed in steam combination oven was a compromise. Steaming functionality at touch of a finger was very attractive, and it would free up my cooktop space as well.

Another option you might want to consider, Ke Yang, is combo of a pyro oven and a plain steam oven.

We have the two wall ovens and it is a god send to me as I do bake and cook different items, roast in one , bake cakes or meringues in the other at the same time. Very useful

Forgot to add if you get the big freestanding 900mm ovens they take longer to heat up and use much more energy

Good point that a big oven takes longer to heat up... I haven't thought about that. Thanks!

is different hey. we cook a lot, and have just installed a double 76cm wide oven.a 6 burner gas cooktop..plus we have 2 microwaves. and it all gets used, on a daily basis, and often at the same time. (and we are only a family of 4) but i do like to cook in bulk, and as a shift worker, find this essential to our sanity.

I bought 2 convection/steam/microwave Panasonic ovens which are stacked on the bench, we also have a 60cm St George wall oven. All were busy yesterday as I baked chicken drumsticks and potatoes in the main oven, sour dough in one of the microwaves on convection cycle and baby peas in the other. Love them all teamed with an induction cooktop my kitchen is bliss to use, we also have 2 separate dish drawers for easy clean up!!

If you search here on houzz Bryan there are many kitchen with two or multiple wall or under bench ovens :

wow.... very ambitious cooks some of you!

Years ago we needed extra oven space but no where to put it in our current house so we bought one of those small glass counter top ovens. This worked so well to do things which needed to be cooked at the same time but not at the same temperature etc.

Now that he kids have left home we do most of our 'oven' type cooking in this small oven which seems to give a better result for cakes, vegies and even a small leg of lamb.

I have a big cooker with gas hob and 2x 60cm electric ovens and they are fantastic. Although it's just two of us at home we have lots of people to stay (we live in a wine district!) and two ovens make catering very simple. If we were re-doing the kitchen I would probably go for a 1.5 oven combo (wall oven) as it would be enough and reduce bending down.

Doubling up of Appliances in the Kitchen is becoming the norm, especially in high spec homes that have the space. Most of the high end products have self cleaning functions and when installed in a vertical line in cabinetry or separated with a smaller unit and a larger unit as a feature under a cooktop or in a scullery look right at home. It all comes down to space and budget.

Thanks Paul

I have a wall oven, spinal injuries stop me from anything else plus there are two convection/steam microwaves on the bench. The flexibility is brilliant, those smaller units are so convenient and with the steam function clean themselves.

Hi hildagabrielli....have you considered dispensing with the existing oven and installing into that space 2 Panasonic convection/steam microwaves? You could also ditch the gas cooktop and get yourself a lovely easy clean induction cooktop to bring yourself into the future as you upgrade the bench top. Of course you need to consider how many people you cook for on a daily basis, there is just the two of us these days but cooking for 6-8 on occasion is no problem with the suggested set-up!!

Hi I have had freestanding 900 stoves and would change to double 600 ovens if I could. I know form entertaining and cooking I can bake at different temperatures for different meals. Much better idea I think. Desert in one and savoury in another.

No comparison in my mind - 900cm oven space seems wasted when 2 x 600cm ovens are marvellously versatile. Sometimes I stash my serving dishes and plates in the unused oven to warm, as well.
