A wall oven is a type of oven that is built into a kitchen wall rather than being installed under a stovetop as a freestanding unit. There are several advantages to using a wall oven rather than a freestanding oven. There are a variety of reasons for this, including space conservation and personal preference in terms of kitchen design. Several wall ovens are also installed by some people. Two wall ovens are common in domestic kitchens. This allows a person to cook two dishes at different temperatures at the same time, which is useful for people who bake frequently and frequently prepare large meals with multiple courses.
Multiple wall ovens are usually stacked on top of one another within a wall. Other times, the ovens are installed in the wall side by side. Rather than having an oven under the stovetop, this area is frequently used to store pots, pans, baking trays, and other oven accessories. Wall ovens are occasionally smaller than freestanding ovens, but this is not always the case. Smaller ovens have some advantages, such as the ability to heat up more quickly, but they cannot accommodate extremely large dishes of food.
Some wall oven models include both a conventional oven and a microwave oven. The microwave oven is a little shorter than the other two ovens, but they are both the same width. The microwave oven is usually stacked above the wall oven. A wall oven is usually surrounded by cabinets, whether it is a single model, paired with another oven, or paired with a microwave oven. Cabinets are usually installed above and below the ovens. Wall oven models with two ovens stacked one on top of the other may only have cabinets above or below them, rather than cabinets on both sides.
A wall oven is typically installed as part of a kitchen remodel. A wall oven, unlike a freestanding oven, must be properly built into a kitchen’s wall and the wiring must be managed by a professional. If a wall oven is simply replaced, the cabinets surrounding it may not need to be remodeled as long as the new oven is the same size as the old one and the wall can support the weight of the new oven.
