Wall Oven Types

There are a lot of things to consider when purchasing a wall oven, so let’s start with the basics.

A gas heating element within a wall oven

Gas Wall Ovens

Gas ovens are heated using a natural gas flame that warms the interior of the oven. The flame element is kept separate from the cooking area by a deflector that distributes the heat and cooks food evenly.

Electrical heating coils from a conventional oven

Electric Wall Ovens

Electric wall ovens feature dual bake elements that work individually to cook food. Everyday cooking is handled by the lower element, which heats the oven. The upper element is used for grilling and broiling food.

Convection Wall Ovens

A convection oven uses a fan mechanism to circulate hot air throughout the oven, cooking food more quickly and evenly than a conventional oven. This makes convection the all-star when it comes to roasting meats and vegetables.

Hand wiping up residue after a wall oven

Self-Cleaning Wall Ovens

While conventional ovens need a lot of elbow grease and sometimes harsh chemicals to get them clean, self-cleaning wall ovens use extremely high heat to reduce baked-on grime to ash, so all you have to do is wipe off the residue with a damp cloth.

What Do You Need to Know About Wall Oven Sizes?

When shopping for any appliance, you need to know your dimensions. Accurate measurements are essential because a wall oven will be built into your cabinetry.

There are two sets of dimensions you need to know when purchasing a built-in oven. The first are the physical dimensions of the unit and their related measurements. Wall ovens generally come in 24-inch, 27-in., and 30-in. width, with 30-in. being the most popular. Height is dependent on whether you are buying a single or a double oven. The second dimension to consider is the depth of the unit.

Once you know the physical measurements of your wall oven, you can determine cut-space and overlap dimensions.

Physical Dimensions

These are your standard dimensions of height, width, and depth.

Cut-Out Dimensions

Cut-out dimensions are the measurements of space within the cabinet where you plan on installing your built-in oven. As with the physical dimensions, you need to know the height, width, and depth of space.

Overlap Dimensions

Overlap dimensions describe the space surrounding the cut-out, which includes oven trim overlaps and a small amount of clearance.

What Do You Need to Know About Wall Oven Capacity?

Has this ever happened to you? You're trying to cook for a crowd only to discover you can’t fit everything into the oven? Or you packed your dishes into the oven, and it takes forever because nothing cooks evenly? You can avoid these culinary conundrums by knowing your oven’s capacity.

Most wall ovens range in capacity size from 3 cubic feet to 5 cu. ft. Once you know this, you need to consider oven racks. How many are there? How many different heights are available? An oven with six or seven different positions will let you bake more than one dish at a time. This is of particular consideration if you are buying a convection oven that uses air circulation to cook your food.

Need even more oven space?

Consider adding a double wall oven to your kitchen. Double ovens are great for:

Cooking dishes at two different temperatures.
Baking delicate pastries in a conventional oven while roasting a turkey quickly using convection.
Keeping food warm while cooking other dishes by using a second oven with a keep warm feature.
Combining your microwave with your wall oven to free up counter space.
