Can versatility redeem an oven with so-so performance?

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
