Discover What Double Ovens Can DoAre Double Ovens Worth It?
Absolutely! If you cook a lot or you just love baking, you’ll definitely want to get a double oven for yourself. While it’s okay to be skeptical about getting a double oven, after all, there are lots of overhyped kitchen appliances on the market, you should know that you can’t go wrong with a double oven.
Double ovens offer so many benefits that you just won’t be able to get with their single-oven counterparts. Curious as to what these benefits are? Here are some advantages of owning a double oven:
- More Oven Capacity: Double ovens tend to be somewhat bigger than regular one-oven units. As such, they generally offer more oven capacity than you’ll get from single oven units. So if you’re someone who cooks a lot with your oven, you’ll certainly want to get a double oven for yourself since you’ll be able to fit in and cook more food at a time!
- Simultaneous Cooking: As earlier mentioned, double ovens have a unique 2-in-1 build that consists of a perfect combination of two ovens in one unit, and each oven has its own separate programming. What does this mean for you? Simple; it means you’ll be able to cook two separate dishes that require different temperature settings simultaneously. All you’ll have to do is load each one into each oven, program it and you’re good to go! So no more having to wait around for one dish to finish cooking before putting in another. You’ll easily save time and energy.
- Cost Effective: Now you may be thinking, “since double ovens are essentially two ovens in one, won’t they be very expensive?” Not necessarily. You see while there are certainly expensive double oven units, there are also pretty cheap ones.
- Excellent Space Preservation: Do you have an oven in your kitchen? If you do then you’ll be aware of the fact that they tend to take up a lot of storage room. If one oven can take up that much space, now imagine what having two separate ovens in your kitchen will look like. With a double oven, however, you get to bypass the space limitations of having two ovens in one kitchen. This is because you’ll have both in one single unit so you’ll only need to create space for one appliance. Pretty neat, yeah?
- Better Cooking Results: One other reason why you should consider getting a double oven for yourself is that double ovens usually offer more cooking options than regular ovens. So with a double oven, you’ll be able to enjoy much better cooking!
Now that you’re all caught up on what double ovens are and why getting one is one of the best decisions you could make for your kitchen-building efforts, you probably think you’re ready to browse double oven options. However, there are still some things you need to know. For example, did you know that there are actually several different types of double ovens? No? Well, now you do! Let’s take a look at these double oven types and explore all you need to know about them to ensure you make the correct double oven choice.
Types Of Double Ovens
As earlier mentioned, double ovens can be divided into types. These types include the following:
- Double Oven Electric Ranges

Double Oven Electric Ranges
A double oven electric range is a type of cooking range that runs fully on electricity. These types of ranges usually offer better oven cooking performance than regular ovens and in some cases, even ovens in gas ranges.

- They are also more expensive than their gas double oven range counterparts.
Price range
Double oven electric ranges are generally somewhat expensive with most of them priced between $1,200 and $3000. However, there are some cheaper options around the $800 price range.

However, the convection cooking feature is an absolute must if you want to enjoy perfect cooking results so this is something you’ll want to pay attention to. You may also want to ensure your double oven choice has an inbuilt air fryer as well.
- Budget: As mentioned earlier, double ovens have different sizes and features. As a result, they tend to have different prices. Some are very expensive while others are a lot cheaper.
