Re: Range vs. wall oven and cooktop
I definitely want a double oven and were we doing a remodel, I'd try to get one included. But I use the oven a lot in meal prep, often different dishes where I need to try to finagle to make both types work in one oven.
We currently have a cooktop/wall oven. It was here when we bought the house.
Whether I'd do that or the range option in a remodel would depend on a few factors:
1. cost is the biggest ones. At least when I looked, built in ovens are far more expensive than the free standing ones. So I may compromise on the free standing due to budget
2. kitchen layout -- for example, in our kitchen we have an island -- the cooktop is in that. It's a really nice set up -- and the layout of the kitchen really calls for the cooktop. However, other configurations may lend itself better for the free standing.
