Putting in double ovens is the latest trend in kitchen remodeling. For kitchens that are too small to host a second oven, this freestanding appliance is a mighty fine substitute. The brushed stainless-steel exterior with chrome accents looks hip in any designer kitchen, and the roominess and versatility of this oven is a surprising bonus. The interior cavity measures .5 cubic feet, which is spacious enough to cook an entire 12-inch pizza, bake a tray of empanadas, or even roast a small chicken. Two tiered racks provide room for baking a double batch of brownies or for simultaneous preparation of an entrée and side dish and food cooks evenly no matter where it is positioned in the oven. The convection capabilities of this oven hasten cooking time of all foods up to 40 percent faster than regular ovens, and the even air circulation ensures consistent cooking results. Three easy-to-use control knobs set the appropriate cooking preference and temperature for the food being cooked. The lowest knob offers bake, bake with convection (which is excellent for cakes, cookies, and meats), slow bake, broil, and toast options along with a defrost setting for frozen foods and a keep warm setting for warming without cooking. The top knob sets the temperature anywhere from 250 degrees Fahrenheit to broiling. The middle knob is for toasting only and controls the color, from light to dark, of up to six pieces of bread. The toast color selector knob ticks as it counts down the toasting time, which is mildly annoying for those who prefer no background noise; however, when the time is up, it does an accurate toasting job.

The interior of this turbo convection oven has a nonstick surface, making it easy to wipe off spilled fats from meat or bubbled-over batter from baked goods. Additionally, a removable crumb tray makes it easy to dispose of bread crumbs and other small particles. To prevent against accidental burns, the sides of the oven remain cool while the oven is in use and the racks advance when the oven door is opened so cooks don't have to reach too deep to retrieve foods. With measurements of 18 by 14-3/8 by 8-6/7 inches, the oven does take up a large amount of counter space, but that is to be expected with its generous interior. This turbo convection oven also comes with several accessories, including a cookie sheet, a nonstick broil tray, and a nonstick bake pan. --Cristina Vaamonde
