Can I use a wall oven as a countertop oven?
My former setup: 24" single wall oven in my kitchen, very large countertop oven in an adjacent room sitting on a huge stainless steel table. By "very large" I mean very large for a countertop oven: It is almost big enough to handle a half sheet pan. The countertop oven plugs into a normal electrical outlet. I had the countertop oven as a second oven because I can't fit 2 wall ovens in my kitchen. Also it is in a converted patio room that is not air conditioned, which makes it ideal for cooking e.g. bbq side dishes in the summer without heating up the air conditioned kitchen by using the wall oven. I decided to replace the wall oven with a new one, and meanwhile my countertop oven died. What I'd like to do is have an electrician run a 220v line to the stainless steel table location, and use my old wall oven as my new countertop oven. The stainless steel table is large enough that I can easily ensure that the oven is >6" from the wall. But of course the wall oven isn't designed to be used on a countertop. So I'm wondering what if anything I could/should do to to make it countertop-friendly. And, yes, I'm sure there will be building code issues, but let's leave that aside for the moment. Any advice? submitted by /u/reluctantreddit [link] [comments]
