What Ever Happened To The Double-Oven in Melbourne Kitchen Renovations?

Kitchen Renovations in Melbourne are proving increasingly efficient as architects and designers undertake user-generated research in order to improve household efficiency and consumer satisfaction. Custom and survey based design is the way forward.

The main idea in kitchen and household design is multifunction. Optimising the time and energy you expend in your home is of paramount importance. Most families are double income and therefore do not have time to spend hours preparing meals. The luxury of a stay at home partner is archaic. If you are considering a kitchen renovation, look first at the kinds of appliances you use most. Is the oven of great importance, do you need a large or a smaller fridge and do you even need a separate freezer. These types of questions are all important so that you can maximise the use of your kitchen and save some much needed cash. Instead of putting energy into devices you will never use, invest what you can in those that you will.

For greater flexibility in your kitchen the double oven is the combination-cooking appliance for you. Typically, double ovens have been marketed suitable for larger households. Little do many of us realise that a multifunction device could be the difference between a perfectly timed roast dinner for two and a melange of burnt potatoes and gravy. If you are a two-person family, the double oven can service you and your guests. Whether you’re catering a party yourself or hiring someone in, the double oven will ensure you can prepare several dishes at a time.

If your oven is powered by electricity, consider the benefits listed below of gas-powered ovens.  

Gas ovens heat up very quickly, making your cooking time constraints easier to manage  

Natural gas cooks food more evenly than electricity and doesn’t dry the food out like electricity  

Gas ovens are energy efficient, the on-off process consumes far less energy than an electric oven  

If you are a frequent cook in the kitchen, gas costs less than electricity so is a cheaper option in the long run  

Gas ovens are long lasting and manageable. In the instance of power outages certain parts of the oven may suffer damages and your cooking could end up a catastrophe.  

Gas line installation is a guarantee with almost no risk of wear and tear.   

This humble cooking device has come a long way. France holds the oldest record of the oven from 1490. Made from brick and tile, these primitive versions were a mission to operate compared with the modern day appliances we so value today. In 1735 Françoise Cuvillieés invented the Castrol stove, a wood-burning device designed to improve the containment of smoke. By the early 1800s, the iron stove, invented by Count Rumford, could heat multiple pots at the same time and at different temperatures. Electric ovens were invented between 1880 and 1900 but it was not until the 1920s that electric technologies had improved. In the 1940s, Percy Spencer invented the microwave, completely revolutionising the use of the oven. Today, whether we own a beautiful double wall oven, an electric range or simply a microwave, cooking has never been this easy.
