This is so helpful, Susan. I've been fortunate enough to have double wall ovens for the past 10+ years with convection at the top, but seldom use that setting because I'm never sure exactly what works best in them at what times, etc. So your rules of thumb are terrific.
I have another semi-related question (that actually could be a heads-up for anyone researching what ovens to buy). At one time I saw somewhere that you have Bosch double-ovens in the KAF kitchen Do the oven lights on yours automatically go off every time you open the oven door? I love my Bosch ovens except for that one feature (which there's no way to know about before you buy and install them). When I'm cooking a lot at one time it drives me nuts! If I'm checking baked goods for doneness or opening the doors to rotate cookie sheets/cake pans, I can end up having to push the buttons to turn the oven lights back on about 20 times in one baking session! So I'm very curious if you guys have to deal with that as well with your Bosch's?
