I do not understand why a simple fan can make an oven or range with oven, much more expensive. Forcing convection may be a great feature to have, but conventional ovens are indeed convection ovens, drilled bread pans allows a better convection flow in regular ovens. One may move it to the broiler in a range with oven and broiler to obtain better grated cheese, or roasted dish. Some ranges have an oven with an upper burner, in that case they are also broilers. Paying amounts like $1500,00 for the GE mentioned by Nancy mentioned above, seems insane to me. Maybe because I live in the third world, where that is a huge amount to pay for an oven. Unless it is for a big factory oven with a continuous band moving hundreds of loafs though it. Cookers who know their art, can make wonders with simple elements. A luxury oven, will never replace the skill of an artisan cooker. It is just that a luxury object. Having such budget, and a great passion for cooking on oven, I would prefer to build a rustic brick oven for better artisan results.
