Built under double oven with hob above

tommyedinburgh

We are looking for recommendations for a built under double oven with a hob directly above. It’s a Howdens built under unit with 30mm quartz worktop. 

Looking at some of the manufacturers measurements it will be helluva tight - with that in mind has anyone opted for a particular pair of appliances from the same manufacturers that fitted well? 

Happy to consider gas on glass hob or electrical equivalent. Both have pros and cons.

What dimensions are you looking at? All appliances are made to fit into standard cabinets.

Fan and conventional oven/grills come as standard unts for built under and built in units so are almost all the same if these are what you after. I am not sure about sizes if you want a fan oven and a combi microwave oven.

Problem seems to be that not all built under ovens (different from built in Ovens) are designed to have a hob above them now due to the fad of having a built under oven on one elevation and the hob on another.

Every single built under oven will fit the cabinet - without a doubt. My question was then fitting a hob on top.

What sort of hob? Gas are a lot less deep than induction.

By double oven do you mean side by side (say with a 900mm hob) or one on top the other?

If the later, I'd seriously reconsider... unlikely to work with induction and at best to get a below average oven and a tiny one or two small ovens. That's before considering how low the bottom oven will be for taking things in/out. 

If you really want hob on top and double ovens under then go for a freestanding unit as the extra usable height will make at least one oven closer to useable. Personally got rid of our freestanding cooker with side by side double ovens in favour of a hob and a pair of ovens in larder unit and having the ovens at eye level is so much better.

900mm is built in. A built under double oven goes in a unit 720mm.

As far as I am aware the oven fits in a standard 600mm wide cabinet and a hob gas or electric fits in the depth of a worktop like mine

My built under oven doesn't sit in a unit. It fits in the gap between two units.

The hob fits into a space cut out of the worktop.

Thanks. That’s a single oven though. It seems that the Bosch built under ovens can accommodate a Bosch gas on glass 5 burner hob. The back section of the oven it dropped matching the gas connection pipe. This will likely be the best option.

Would that even be called a built under oven or a built in oven ?
