    Product preview: Back-saving wall oven

    Consumer Reports News: February 07, 2007 08:08 AM

    Imagine a wall oven without a door. Instead of lifting and lowering a roast or casserole into the Gaggenau Lift Oven, you push a button and the base descends to the countertop. After you load up the base, you push the button to make it ascend into the cooking cavity. Gaggenau also claims this the glass-ceramic base on this electric wall oven lets you bake cookies, breads, and pizza directly on its surface without nonstick trays. In stores in July, the self-cleaning wall oven offers 11 heating methods, including convection and grilling and four wire racks or trays that hook into the oven walls. At 24 inches wide, it's significantly smaller than a standard, 27- or 30-inch-wide electric wall oven. While you needn't reach into a hot oven, you may still say "ouch" after forking over the $3,300 this new-tech oven sells for. You might also need to do some carpentry work to fit it into the usual space.
