Over the range oven
The microwave thread got me thinking...
We have replaced every appliance in our kitchen (due to them breaking) except the microwave. So we have a stainless fridge, oven/range, and dishwasher. We should probably replace the microwave with something stainless. Every house I lived in as a kid had either had a double oven or an over the range oven. I thought it might be nice to get an over the range oven. Apparently they don't make them anymore.

There's some micros with convection for over the range.

We just went through this with with out kitchen remodel. It's not a perfect solution. The lower oven is a little too low (we never use it anyway), and the microwave is about 2" too high, but it works.
I just bought a SS countertop microwave and an aftermarket SS frame and mounting kit online from. Microwave Oven Trim Kits - Custom Microwave Kits - Micro-Trim, Inc.

I'll probably just end up with a SS microwave, but I was hopeful....

How tall is your spouse?
Our microwave is in our center island. A bit low for me and often a pain in the ass but the wife is only 5'0" so her having to reach up to get hot stuff out posed the risk of getting burned by spillage.

IF installing yourself....The convection/microwave units are really heavy. I used a floor jack on the stove (with protection) to install when I build the house.....
Wife had not used the Convection in our last unit. The range is now Convection, so just a plain old microwave this time.....

Range hood moves way more air than a microwave, if you dont cook much or mostly simmer a microwave should/could work fine. Try to exhaust out rather than just recycle. The only difference I see in microwave models are the $$ versions that are a microwave and oven/toaster oven. Seems like a gimmick to me but I have no experience. |
