Several years ago I installed a large electric oven on top of the counter with an electric cooktop a little ways away from the oven. The cooktop had raised glass covers over the coils so drips couldn't get below. Both unit had heavy duty coils and put out more heat than a typical gas range and the glass coil covers were strong enough to hold large pots. Had the ease of cleaning of a flat glass top and the raised covers helped me find the burners. It did take more counter space but I was nearly doubling the counter space at the same time. Tony

I would think a side by side would require a lot of baking to make it worth the lost space. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dale Leavens To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, December 02, 2007 10:17 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] all I want for christmas is a double oven range+reason for gas question Coil cook tops are still made and they also still make the solid plate type. While I haven't been in the market for a range in a long time the standard sizes are 24 and 30 inches. There are now many larger as well. I have only seen double side-by-side ovens in wider ones but there may be some as narrow as 30 inches I don't know that. I have also seen some one above the other but not often, more commonly when I lived in England. So, they do make the top you want but I don't know about the double oven.

I want a double oven range with a *coil* cooktop. However, I don't know of any ranges that have this setup, so thought gas (at least for the top) was my only choice. Hence, I asked about running a gas line. Now, lets suppose gas is not an option. Can you fit a double oven and a cooktop in the same space as a standard range? This is assuming of course coil cooktops are still made.
