Eye level oven (daft) questions

[minipie]

Redoing our kitchen soon. We currently have a range against the wall but switching to separate hob on the island, so I need to decide between oven built under the hob or eye level oven somewhere else. Everyone seems to love their eye level ovens but I'm not sure!

We mainly use our oven for roasting and grilling veg fish and meat. Sometimes pasta bakes and casseroles. Occasional baking but hardly ever.

Question 1: I tend to get the roasting trays out several times during cooking to turn and baste. At the moment I plonk them on the hob for this. How does it work with eye level ovens? I know I'd need worksurface nearby, but it may not be heatproof (probably having quartz). Does this mean I'd have to get out a heatproof mat every time? Is there a solution I'm missing? Would telescopic shelves be an option for this - bit worried they would be too wobbly?

Question 2: What's so good about being able to see into the oven? If the food is lying flat in a roasting tray (like veg or fish fingers) I would imagine you can't see it without taking the tray out anyway... or can you?

Question 3: Would it be mad to have one of each - one under the hob and one eye level wall oven? Partly because I can't decide...!

thanks!

Eye level all the way!

We have the Neff with hide and slide door and telescopic shelves that slide out. I can baste chicken without removing it from the oven.

Only downside is that one single eye level is smaller than a range - I miss the side oven. But get round this by having an eye level combi microwave. In hindsight I would have gone for a second oven and have a small microwave on the side.

Bear in mind that, unless you are having yours much higher than normal, built in ovens are normally waist level. So much easier to lift out a heavy item than at floor level.

I think I'm convinced. Especially if I can use telescopic shelves or Miele style super strong door to do most of the turning basting and prodding.

Now I just have to decide between normal and compact, normal and steam, normal and combi microwave... argh.
