    Convection Oven + Microwave: Double Oven Alternative

    Convection Oven Microwave Combination - A Double-Oven Alternative www.DesignDazzle.com

    We recently remodeled our kitchen and had some decisions to make about the space where the old double wall ovens and wall-mounted microwave were. We opted to NOT install double wall ovens and found a great alternative. We bought this convection oven with a built-in microwave/multi-use oven on top. So this unit is not as big as a double oven but certainly can work as a double oven.

    We don’t often have the need to use two ovens at once but if you cook and bake often or have a very large family then a double wall oven might be a better option for you. If you need the space, of two large ovens. The way this multi-use oven works is the bottom oven is a regular oven you can use the convection feature if you choose. The top unit is a microwave and also a convection oven- you can use for either. Ninety-five percent of the time we use it as our microwave.

    We wanted to open up the space above the stove top and install a beautiful custom hood vent where the previous microwave had been. By getting the oven/microwave combination we freed up that space and didn’t have to find a new place for a microwave. I didn’t want the microwave sitting on the counter.

    The oven/microwave combination we chose for our home has many wonderful features and we are very happy with it. The top oven can microwave, convection bake, proof bread, broil, and toast. The lower oven works as a traditional oven or as a convection oven. It can also, bake, proof bread, broil, cook by the internal temperature of the food with a probe, warm, and steam and self-clean.

    The steam clean feature is great. You pour a cup of water into the bottom of the oven, press “steam clean,” and the doors lock until it is done 30 minutes later. You just have to wipe up the excess water and any remaining grime. We have not used the self-cleaning feature yet.

    One of my favorite features is the glide out, ball bearing oven rack. It holds up to 50 pounds which makes loading and unloading heavy items (such as a Thanksgiving turkey) much easier.

    Another great feature is the green clock light on the oven can be turned off (which I prefer). When you open the microwave or oven doors it comes on for a bit to share the time. Of course, when the oven is baking and you need to see oven temperatures and times it stays on.

    You can bake just like with a tradition oven or you can use the convection oven button. The choice is completely up to you. Just remember convection baking does bake quicker than a regular oven. When using the convection option this oven automatically reduces the temperature for you. For example, if your recipes tells you to bake at 350F you set the oven to 350F. It will automatically reduce the heat by 25 degrees to 325F. This will only happen when you have selected the convection option. It is a bit of learning curve so be careful the first few times you use it and check to see if your food is done 10 minutes before you expect them to be done. Once you get the hang of it you’ll appreciate the time it will save you!

        It’s a GE model # PT7800SH2SS. We’ve had it for 5 1/2 years. I love it!! We’ve had no problems. It’s so nice to have the microwave for everyday use and a second oven when needed. The upper oven is a microwave and convection oven. The lower oven is a regular oven or convection if wanted.

      Enjoyed reading about your microwave and oven combo. We are doing the same thing and would love to know how high you set your microwave. I don’t want it to be too low, but not to high either. I’m 5’4 if that helps.. the height you have yours looks to be where I’d want to place mine. Thanks!

        The very top of the microwave is 67″ high. I am a tad over 5’7″. It is perfect for me and my family. My mom is 5 foot and it might be a tad to high for her. I love the oven/micro combo. It has worked awesome for my kitchen. Good luck to you!

      Could you tell me what brand and model this is? Does it come as a set or did you have to buy separately? I love the idea!

        The microwave/oven is made by GE. It is combined they are not separate. I purchased this 5 years ago and still LOVE it. No problems whatsoever. I just don’t need double ovens on a regular basis but the convenience of having a microwave that can also be used as a convection oven is perfect for the rare times I do need it. This is the model I purchased https://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-Profile-30-in-Double-Electric-Wall-Oven-with-Convection-Self-Cleaning-and-Built-In-Microwave-in-Stainless-Steel-PT7800SHSS/205373427?

      We are looking to put something like this in our new kitchen, so your review has been super helpful. We have two young kids and use the microwave all the time for quick re-heats and hotdogs. This may sound like a silly question – but does the upper microwave work for the super basic $20 microwave stuff too?

        Hi Kathleen!
        I’m so glad to help you. Yes, I love this double oven. When you ask about the upper microwave, I’m not sure what you mean. We use our upper microwave all the time. It works great as a microwave but when you need it in a pinch for baking or convection it also doubles as that. But we mostly use it as a microwave.
        Let me know if that helps!

      If it had a grill it would be perfect.

        I don’t know. I wish I could help. But it was a great system (we’ve since moved).
