A wall oven is an excellent idea if you prefer a separate cooktop and an oven because it gives you 2 separate cook areas with plenty of room to prep and cook.  Depending on your kitchen layout, having a separate wall oven allows you to place it at a convenient height, preventing you from leaning over like you would with a range.    

When you really think about it, every wall oven should be open from the side. You shouldn't have to lift a heavy turkey or roast over a door.  A side swing oven allows easy access to the oven.

If you’ve shopped for a wall oven recently, you probably noticed that almost every oven was electric. Due to the even heat-up and easier installation of electric wall ovens, the gas counterparts are less popular.

Wall ovens did not change very much from 1980 to 2000 but the appliance industry has truly embraced new technology when it comes to cooking. There are now more home cooks than ever before. It seems like cooking has become a new fashion trend.

Most ovens now have twin convection systems meaning two fans. Wolf introduced their new dual blower fan technology which provides a much more even heat distribution.

Are you in the market for a new wall oven? If you are, you may have noticed the new Jenn-Air and Samsung wall ovens with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity. Now, you may ask yourself "Why would I need an oven with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity?" 

We have Wi-Fi on our phones, laptops, TV’s, and game consoles. Let’s face it even our thermostat and lights are hooked up to a “Nest”, so shouldn’t we have them in appliances by now? Well, the Millennial Gods have answered your wireless prayers. Samsung mid-2016 released their new Wi-Fi capable wall ovens and their product aims to please.

You may or may not have read our blog on the benefits of side-swing and French door wall ovens but you probably have seen such an oven with a French door like on a fridge.

They are very sleek looking and save you the trouble of lifting several pounds of weight over a normal drop down oven door. They are not very popular yet, although they make a lot of sense.

Last week, we reviewed the Miele MasterChef wall oven. The Wolf would be its direct competitor on the premium side along with Thermador, Jenn-Air and Dacor.

Remember The Jetson's? The family would talk into their oven and out would come cooked food instantaneously. Well, we are not there yet.
