Hello everyone
Apologies to anyone who's already seen this on rec.food.cooking, but one of the suggestions there was to post on this NG too. I need to replace my oven, which is a built-in electrical double oven. To avoid rebuilding the kitchen, I intended to replace it with another built-in electrical double oven. Does anyone have any handy hints and tips on choosing an oven? I've noticed that prices vary enormously: is an oven that costs £1500 really 3 times better than one that costs £500, and if so, how? I'm struggling to imagine how it could be. I love cooking and don't mind spending money on the right kit, but I think I'd need to be convinced that I was getting something pretty special if I'm going to spend a thousand quid more than I need to. What sort of features should I look for? Any brands to recommend or avoid? Many thanks Adam |

I often asked myself the same thing - how can the same thing vary so much
in price. We moved about a year ago and the kitchen had Miele appliances. I'd never considered them before when renovating because they are so much more expensive than other appliances. The dishwasher is very ordinary and in fact does a crap job unless it is stacked with precision. The oven however is sensational - it heats up really quickly and seems to retain its heat much better. The pizzas that we make are really much better and much crisper than what we used to make with the old oven. It's made me realise that maybe you do get what you pay for. I'd definitely pay extra for a Miele oven in future.
