However, a big question remains when planning a new kitchen layout and that is how many ovens will I need? Is a second oven worth the money? How will this affect the design of my kitchen? Well, its a good job you landed on this article because we will be answering all these questions and more!

How Many are too Many?

The biggest concern people have when it comes to buying ovens is the question: “how many ovens will I need in my kitchen?”. Within the UK it is common practice to find that almost all standard kitchens contain the essential, bare basics of one oven, a hob and a fridge. Appliances such as dishwashers and microwaves are also very common and very useful appliances to have. However, a new trend that many people are adopting is adding an additional oven to their new kitchen plans.

The plunge to add another oven to your kitchen can take an amount out of your budget when planning to build your new dream kitchen. So is it worth taking that plunge? Well, it’s worth taking some important factors into consideration when choosing to install one or two new ovens into your dream kitchen and they are often so say simple questions to answer on paper. 

How much space does your kitchen have?

The simple answer is if your kitchen is too small, simply two ovens are not needed when you need space for fridges, sinks and other cupboard space. However, it is worth considering that the space you are sacrificing for an additional oven is worth it. If you are a very keen baker or love cooking large meals, a second oven is 100% worth it. Say, for example, you need to cook two different meals at different temperatures or at different times, you can easily do this with an additional oven in your kitchen. 

Why do I need another oven?

As previously mentioned, if you are a keen cook who likes to time your meals to perfection or love hosting large gatherings with family and friends a second oven is a great addition to your kitchen design. It allows you to keep everything within timings, permitting you to ensure all parts of your meal are cooked simultaneously and stay warm. There is nothing worse than having to wait around for the final part of your meal! In addition to this, it saves you a heap load of time and instead gives you a chance to have a rest after a long day's work or even spend time with the family. Now doesn’t that sound great!
