Owning your own home

For me, second regular oven and basic microwave in the cupboard. Or in fact what we do have, which is the second oven being a steam oven. 2 proper ovens is great for big roast dinners, christmas etc.

I don't have a £40k kitchen but I do have a combination microwave oven and it's really useful. It's rare that I want to cook two really big things so a second oven is bigger than needed. The smaller microwave combination oven also means that it doesn't need to pre-heat which is good for cooking small stuff.

2 ovens and a normal microwave.
2 ovens are great for when some of your dinner needs a different temperature to the rest.
We have a 90cm range cooker with a 60cm fan oven and a 30cm regular one. Very handy once we bought 22cm oven trays and dishes for the thin one.

Fancy microwaves with all the features only get used for normal microwave things because it's always impossible to remember how to make any of the fancy things work. We have had a Sharp combi microwave grill thing for over 10 years and have never once used the grill bit. No idea how.

if you can't stretch to a 2nd oven/don't have space consider a proving drawer. really handy for big dinners when some stuff is cooked first and you just wan to keep it warm or whatever

second oven and standard microwave

We put our microwave in a cupboard, regular one nothing fancy, as it used to be in the hallway in old kitchen (tiny kitchen is tiny), apart from the very odd time when forget to leave the cupboard door open to vent it, zero issues, love that you don't have it hogging up a huge chunk of worktop (attracts filth and clutter, ever seen a kitchen without something sat on top of microwave?).

Only have a single oven, and a bit of a pan drawer underneath it. At time we wanted maximum storage so opted out of a double split oven job in favour of a pan drawer. Turned out we went overboard on storage, now have THREE places to store pans and trays, under and above a full height built in fridge (under is big, above it is fecking massive, 600x600x 400 high) so COULD have gone for a double oven.

For me, 2/3 main oven + 1/3 smaller oven + small microwave in a cupboard is the ideal (which wish had done). You don't often need that second oven, maybe a few times a month, but you do miss not having it. If for nothing more than heating plates
