| My Smaller Kitchen, No Oven |
A baker, going into a smaller home kitchen, no problem. No oven in the smaller home kitchen, a baker, this is now a problem. Simply need to come up with a creative solution. There is some counter space, perhaps a counter top oven? Begin research. Realize that a counter top oven would indeed be a viable option.
Love the look of the larger Kitchen Aide oven, says it can hold a 12” pizza. Great brand. I'm mainly cooking for one person, so interior cooking size is doable. I purchase it, bring it home and after a day, realize I really want to be able to use a 9” x 13” pan. I would also like the option of either convection or conventional baking. Return the Kitchen Aide. More specific search parameters and more research.

I have taken my new oven through all the paces and I love it. The shut-off feature at the end of the cooking time is a wonderful safety feature. Very useful when I am inside/outside working and loose track of time. If you don't want the oven to turn off at the end of the cooking time, simpy don't use the ‘shut-off' option.
If I am not going to use the oven and need that counter space, I can move it temporarily to another location. So far, I've left it right where I placed it.

Hi Elizabeth – Due to the quickness of doing all that I have, my main source of power is electric. I do have a solar panel and a generator (gas), I have not used those yet though. I am off grid on all other areas – will eventually loose the electric ambilical chord – but it is a main source temporarity.
You can also store baking and broiling pans in the oven when not in use.
Brenda–I really appreciate that you are showing us these great appliance options for tiny/er living! I too would want a decent sized oven, and a cooktop as well. Your kitchen looks very spacious with the cabinets you have, and your great appliances. I can't recall if you've said what your power source is– solar? or are you on the electric grid?
Problem solved!
It would also have the added benefit of heating your home, if only just a little, when baking something like a deep dish apple pie!
