We went from a large range oven with 2 full size ovens, a separate grill and a separate warming drawer, plus a stand alone microwave, to one full size built-in oven and a built in combi oven/microwave.



Very occasionally I wish I had a second full size oven but really only once or twice a year. Not necessarily at Christmas when there tends to be only 8 of us, but at dinner parties when I'm hosting 10 or 12 for a 3 course sit down meal. However, I usually only host for 8 which is very doable, and if there are more of us then I plan what I'm cooking!



I did Christmas dinner for 12 2 years ago and that was perfectly manageable with the oven configuration I've got. I guess if I had a huge kitchen I might go for the luxury of a second full sized oven plus combi microwave and grill, but I wouldn't sacrifice anything in my current kitchen to achieve that.



And having now got eye level ovens, nothing would induce me to go back to a range.
