Thermador 30-Inch Double Convection Oven in Electric SEC302BB

Date Published: 4/29/08

The Thermador SEC302BB goes the extra mile when it comes to helping you turn out gourmet meals with ease. Equipped with Thermador's Personal Culinary Assistant, this oven offers a readout that shows you all the cooking mode options.

No more tapping your way through touchpad menus to find the setting you're looking for. And, once you find the setting you need, helpful cues are displayed in simple English to ensure you make all the adjustments needed for just the perfect dish.

The upper oven offers convection while the lower oven provides conventional thermal heating. Having both types of ovens gives you the option of preparing your favorite recipes exactly as you always have or experimenting with the convection mode. Choose the upper convection oven for a holiday bird and get a substantial savings in cooking time. Or use the convection option for outstanding results for most broiled and baked foods.

Featuring two of the largest interior capacities available (4.9 cubic feet, upper/4.5 cubic feet, lower), this model will handle three racks of cookies with ease. Six different rack positions provide the flexibility needed for various sizes of cake pans, muffin tins, and bread loaves. Preheating is fast--so fast this oven is ready to go in less than 5 minutes.

Handy settings for dehydrating fruit and herbs or proofing bread dough further add to the appeal of this model. Each oven cavity is self-cleaning has its own halogen light and offers easy glide racks.

An excellent choice for an upgraded luxury kitchen, the Thermador SEC302BB oven performs well and is versatile as well as durable.

Pros: Well-built superior self-cleaning double ovens with convection feature, large interiors, straightforward controls, comparably priced to similar models, 2 shades of stainless finishes are offered
Cons: expensive



Warranty
1 year (full)
