Hi all,
I've been looking to get a double oven, and a separate (gas) cook top, but
the expense of moving around gas lines, adding a vent, cabinet work, etc.,
is a lot. But I just saw a Jenn-Air range with a double (electric) oven and
five gas burners at the store, and was wondering if anyone had any
experiences with or knowledge of it. It looks pretty nice, with the main
oven at floor level (which might be a bit of a pain sometimes), and a
smaller (single rack position) oven above it. The features looks good, and
it only costs about $1600. I'm just a bit worried that it might have some
drawbacks I hadn't thought of, or might not be such good quality. Any
thoughts? (I haven't been able to find a review of it yet...I'll keep
googling, though.)

Thanks much,
Howard

All other things being equal, there's no way I'd be crawling around the
kitchen floor on my knees to load and unload that bottom oven.

Does the upper oven have a broiler? If it doesn't then it won't do much
more than a pizza or a pan of biscuits. I cook larger (up to 32#)
turkeys for holiday family meals. I don't much like the idea of trying
to get that in and out of an oven that close to the floor.
