Can versatility redeem an oven with so-so performance?

2015-08-30
versatility is the big selling point for this KitchenAid KF DD 500 ESS range now I really liked the double oven feature because you can cook two different dishes at two different temperatures at the same time one of my biggest concerns was whether or not flavors from one oven cavity would leak into the other oven cavity so I took a really what the odorous foods like bacon and cooked it at the same time as a batch of sugar cookies fortunately the two flavors did not intermingle so I didn't get bacon flavored cookies or cookie flavored bacon so this oven did a great job cooking two different items at two different temperatures but keeping the flavors very separate unfortunately the EZ convection feature was anything but it was a little tricky to get the hang of and it involved a lot of steps that didn't seem really convenient for me for example I had to preheat the oven on a regular baked setting then turn the oven all the way off and then turn it back on on the convection setting and then enter some more settings after that it was just a little too complicated and not easy at all once I got the EZ convection feature figured out I was still disappointed with the baking test results the biscuits that I put in the oven were barely Brown even after 9 minutes of baking overall this KitchenAid is a pretty good oven especially if you're a busy cook who likes to multitask during meal times now this is two thousand five hundred and ninety-nine dollars so it's going to be a sizeable investment for your home now if double ovens aren't necessarily your go-to feature check out some of kitchen aids other single oven units that cost a little bit less but have the same if not even better performance results to read more about this KitchenAid model check out my full review on cnet.com for CNET appliances I'm Ashley Clark Thompson you
