Buying Guide
If you’re looking to free up some space in your kitchen, you may want to go with a wall oven instead of a standing oven. These ovens have come a long way and now offer a wide range of attractive features.
Begin your search for the best wall oven by measuring your available space and finding units that will fit in that space. You can further narrow your choice by figuring out what type of heating you’d like. Oven capacity is also something to consider. You’ll find a capacity of 5.1 cubic feet is quite common.
Determine whether you’d like a single or double unit. Single ovens are great for individuals and couples who don’t do a lot of entertaining. Double ovens provide the ability to cook dinner in one oven and dessert in the other. They can be a lifesaver when preparing for a dinner party.
Check to see if the wall oven has a convection feature. Convection cooking systems circulate the hot air in your oven so that your food is cooked evenly from all sides. Some models even include a temperature probe that lets you know when your dish has reached the desired internal temperature.
Review how easy the unit is to use. Models with glass touch electronic controls, for example, aren’t hard to operate — plus, they’re a cinch to clean. Additionally, some wall ovens are able to preheat quickly, while others allow you to delay the start time of your bake.
When deciding between two or three wall ovens, look for any extra features that add to the appeal of the unit. For example, some stainless steel models are smudge-proof, which is an important feature if you have small children at home. Others are made with large windows and two 25-watt auto-control oven lights that make it easy to check on the progress of your food without opening the oven door.
What to Look For
- Most wall ovens now include a self-cleaning feature. How often you use this feature is up to you. If you bake often, you may want to clean the oven once a month. Others who only cook occasionally may wish to wait three or four months before cleaning the oven. To use the self-cleaning feature on your wall oven, you’ll need to remove the oven racks and lock the oven door. Make sure the area is well ventilated and turn on any nearby exhaust fans. Start the cleaning cycle by pressing the designated button. Once the cycle has ended and the oven has cooled, you can wipe up any residue with a damp towel.
- Never use any cleaning products with the self-cleaning feature on your wall oven. The oven will do all the cleaning for you without the aid of a chemical solution.
- Wash your oven racks with dish soap and water. Use a steel wool pad to lift away stuck-on foods.
- Clean the outside of your wall oven with a little dish soap and water. If the surface is glass, you can go back over it with a little vinegar and water to give it a nice streak-free shine.
- Reduce possible messes by placing a large baking sheet on the rack below your food. It will catch any spills and extend the length of time in between cleanings.
- You’ll find wall ovens at a variety of price points, as some have larger capacities and others are made with both upper and lower oven units.

How to clean your oven with a dishwasher tablet
Cleaning the oven is one of those chores that many people, including myself, dread having to do. The crouching on your knees, the rigorous scrubbing required, and the fume-y aerosol oven cleaners are just a few reasons to want to put this task off for as long as possible. That’s why I was excited to test out this cleaning hack from The Kitchn that promises a way to remove baked-on grease and gunk from your oven with fume-free Finish dishwasher detergent tablets and minimal scrubbing.
To try this hack, it’s important to first put on a pair of kitchen or cleaning gloves. This is not just to protect your skin from any ingredients in the dishwasher tablets that might cause skin irritation, but also because the cleaning pods crumble as you scrub, creating a messy paste. Once your gloves are on, you’ll want to unwrap a Finish pod, dip it into some water and get ready to tackle your oven and make it look new again.
Here’s how my oven looked before I started cleaning:
Thanks to a set of oven liners I own, the bottom of the oven was not as dirty as it could have been, but the oven door was splattered with some sort of baked-on gunk (the likely culprit: lasagna sauce).
As I began moving the Finish pod back and forth over the grease built-up, I was surprised how quickly and easily everything came off. I chalk this up to the texture of a Finish dishwasher pod. Unlike cleaning pods that contain liquid solution inside a dissolvable plastic pouch, Finish tabs are made of a solid detergent and have a gritty texture that is ideal for simultaneously scrubbing and scraping off baked-on food.
When I was satisfied that all of the debris had been scrubbed away, I wiped down the oven with a damp towel to remove the remaining paste, and then spritzed my glass oven door with Windex just to make sure there wasn’t any lingering detergent residue.
Here’s how my oven looked less than 10 minutes later:
In the end, I used two Finish tablets to get my oven clean, but you may need to use more, depending on how much cleaning your oven requires. Because of how easy this hack was to do, I will reach for a Finish tab again the next time I need to clean my oven. It is definitely less dread-inducing than needing to use a scrubbing brush or a fume-producing, oven-cleaning spray.
