Could This Be the Best Wall Oven You Can Buy?

Controls & Interface

SKS-Combo-Wall-Oven-Controls

First, the controls for this 30-inch combi wall oven are so simple and intuitive.

You'll find that the technology on many other steam and speed ovens is good, but the controls make the learning curve next to impossible.

With this oven, mastering the controls is straightforward. It makes getting to know the advanced features a breeze.

Now, let's break down this oven's key features, starting with the speed oven on the top.

Speed Oven Features

SKS-SKSCV3002S-Speed-Oven

Speed ovens are a combination of microwave and convection ovens.

Used together, you will cook faster without the rubbery texture of a microwave. Microwaves target the moisture in your food to cook, leading to that rubbery texture.

You have three modes for speed Sensor Cook, Auto Cook, and Speed Cook.

Sensor Cook

Sensor Cooks senses the food and automatically shuts it off when the food is cooked.

So, if we want to heat some pizza, we just turn to the Sensor Cook program and hit "Pizza."

The oven will take care of the rest.

Auto Cook

Auto cook uses preprogrammed recipes. You hit a button, and the food is cooked according to the recipe and stored in the oven.

Let's say you wanted to cook baked potatoes.

You turn to the Auto Cook program, choose "Potatoes", and how many you want to cook or the equivalent weight.

Again, notice how simple it is to operate.

Speed Cook

If you love cooking, you will like the speed cook function.

You can control this oven to 1 degree for temperature. You also have four microwave levels to control the output of the microwave.

You can cook your food quickly or with a better texture by lowering the microwave output.

So, in the speed oven, you can cook using a sensor or a recipe in Auto Cook.

Speed Cook allows you to customize your cooking by adjusting the convection temperature and the microwave power or finding the perfect combination.

Or just use the microwave if you want to pop some popcorn.

Convection Oven Features

SKS-SKSCV3002S-Convection-Oven

The bottom convection oven is also incredibly intuitive and includes steam assist.

You have all the traditional modes: bake, convection bake, roast, broil, warm, and proof.

Auto Cook

The auto cook program is similar to what you'll find in the speed oven but without the microwave.

So, if you want to cook a whole fish, hit the "Fish" button, pick your type of fish, and hit start.

Steam Functionality

As I said, this oven has steam assist capability with a water chamber below.

While you can't cook exclusively in steam, steam assist will allow you to add low, medium, and high bursts of steam.

Steam is essential for baking or proofing bread.

However, adding moisture is great adding more color and flavor to your food without drying it out.

Drawbacks

If there is one drawback to this oven, the steam assist is not as intuitive as the Miele M-Touch wall oven.

But that might not be a bad thing either, as the Miele M-Touch double oven is over $8,000.

Price

This brings us to the price. It doesn't take away from this unit's great features, but it might be one of the key factors when deciding if it's right for you.

You may have guessed eight or nine thousand dollars, and you would be wrong.

This unit only costs $6,999, and you don't need to buy an extended warranty because a full three-year warranty backs it.

Brand

SKS-SKSCV3002S-Cabinet-Installation

The brand is Signature Kitchen Suite – or SKS, the premium division of LG.

The brand is also among the most reliable brands on the market based on over 37,000 service calls completed by our service department just last year.
