User Guide for Double Wall Ovens

Double wall ovens come in a variety of sizes and price points. Before selecting a model, measure the available space in your kitchen to determine which standard oven width will work best. Double ovens are available in 24-inch, 27-inch, and 30-inch width with an average height of 51 inches for full-sized units.

Double Wall Oven Costs

The cost of a double wall oven depends on several factors, including brand, technology, and integration. On the low end, expect to spend $1200 on a budget-brand double oven. However, luxury options like those from Thermador, Wolf, Café, and other premium brands run in the thousands. Most homeowners can expect to spend between $3,000-$5,000 on a quality double oven appliance.

✔ Good to Know

Additionally, it’s essential to factor in the installation cost of a double oven when preparing your kitchen budget. According to reports from homeowners, the average installation price is between $100-$250. However, a hidden cost to consider is the kitchen cabinetry expense. If you are replacing an existing wall oven, this is not a factor. But if you are switching over from a range, the investment in customizing your existing cabinetry can be significant.

Benefits of Buying a Double Wall Oven

Compared to a range of even a single oven, there are a few benefits to upgrading to a double wall oven, such as:


Benefit Why it Matters
Double the Space Cook multiple dishes simultaneously, and choose different temperatures for each oven cavity. This feature is highly convenient when cooking large holiday meals or hosting extravagant dinner parties.
Use Multiple Oven Functions at Once Double ovens give you the flexibility to make cookies at the same time as you are roasting a turkey. Have the upper oven broiling and the lower oven on convection bake and finish every dish on time.
Keep Food Warm If one dish finishes before the rest of the meal, move it to a different oven cavity on the keep warm feature. You'll no longer have to worry about cold side dishes on Thanksgiving because you are juggling oven space.
Streamlined Cooking Experience With multiple cooking functions at your fingertips, preparing meals with a double oven is easier than ever.

Double Wall Oven Feature #1: Convection

The convection oven setting is a popular double oven feature that more home cooks are using to perfect recipes. The oven setting works by circulating hot air throughout the oven cavity to maintain an even cooking temperature and get food done faster. Convection mode is energy efficient and produces a better final result than cooking with radiant oven heat.

This KitchenAid double oven offers a unique convection baking experience. Its exclusive box-tie design works with a premium heating element and fan to keep hot air circulating throughout the entire oven cavity. The result is consistent temperatures, faster cooking time, and crispier and flakier food. In addition to the professional convection feature, this oven has innovative functions like a built-in meat probe, full-extension gliding racks for easier use, and a convenient self-cleaning cycle.

Featured KitchenAid KODE500ESS review: "Finally replaced a end of life single wall oven with this beautiful double oven and couldn't be happier. Easy to operate. Large windows and great interior lighting for watching baking with opening door. Convection works great and best broiler I've ever used."

Double Wall Oven Feature #2: Steam Convection

What’s the next innovation after a convection oven? A steam convection oven. These specialty cooking appliances use the precision of convection baking, plus hot steam that is then circulated by internal fans. Steam cooking preserves the nutrients and colors of food, making it a healthy cooking method, and it’s every bakers’ secret for artisanal breads with signature crunch.

Thermador appliances are defined by innovation. Each product aims to improve the home cooking experience, and this double oven with steam convection is no exception.

The steam function comes preprogrammed with 41 recipes, so every meal comes out perfect! Use it along with true convection and rapid preheating technology to explore new recipes.

Double Wall Oven Feature #3: Sous Vide

True fans of cooking shows and the latest cooking techniques are more than aware of the sous vide style of preparing food. Originally, the method uses a water bath sustained at even temperatures, resulting in foods that don’t overcook. Manufacturers are taking that concept and applying it to a dry version. That mean home cooks can enjoy the uniform results of sous vide cooking right from the oven—without the water bath or another countertop appliance. This is a high-end feature, so if it piques your interest, explore premium oven brands.

Double Wall Oven Feature #5: Broil/Adjustable Temperatures

The secret to a picture-perfect lasagna is a crisp, bubbly top of cheese. How do you get that? One way is using the broil oven setting. Luckily, most ovens come with the feature standard, so there are plenty of options to compare on the market, like the one we recommend here.

Featured Frigidaire FCWD2727AS review: "This oven is fantastic! It heats up quickly and cooking times are spot on. The control panel is easy to use and the doors are surprisingly lightweight. We were also very surprised that the area around the oven is only slightly warm and the air blowing out from the vent is cool. Our old oven would heat up the entire kitchen so this was a great surprise. And, it looks great, too!"

Double Wall Oven Feature #6: Smart Oven Features

Thanks to the integration of smart technology, cooking is easier than ever! Pair your double oven with your home's Wi-Fi and smartphone for remote monitoring and control of the appliance. Depending on the brand and model, smart double ovens can do everything from preheating the oven to increasing the temperature to setting a timer.
