Hello,

We are currently planning the kitchen and the question came up: traditional built-in oven or elevated oven? The current stove in the old house has a standard oven at a low level.
It is only used a few times (roughly 10 times) per month for quick frozen meals (pizza, fish, etc.) or reheating bread rolls. There are no regular baking sessions like daily cakes. We would also like to have a pull-out oven rack now.
What experiences have you had with your ovens?

The oven is installed at eye level in our kitchen. Additionally, we have built the dishwasher into a raised cabinet. This offers a significant increase in comfort.

On the other hand, an oven with a slide-and-hide door, when built in at a higher level...

We have that too. Who wants a door left open in a room with limited depth?

Put it there instead. Oven with slide and hide door, built at eye level...

Nice feature, but it limits your choice of appliances. Does anyone besides Neff offer this?

I would disagree. Oven with Slide and Hide door, when built at counter height...

Ha, I like that, I’ll check it out for my next oven!

We also have the Slide and Hide. I find it very convenient (but not essential).

Hello!
I have already had the experience of using an oven with baking racks and I have to say: never again.
When there are two trays in the oven, it becomes difficult to quickly take out a tray (for example, cookies). The upper tray blocks access to all the others. I don’t see any advantage compared to regular ovens.

For convenience, now a tall oven will be installed in the house, because cleaning a deep oven is uncomfortable, and on top of that, the door gets in the way.
