Cabinet Terminology

What is an Oven Cabinet?

Oven CabinetAn oven cabinet is the term used to describe a method for including the oven in a cabinetry run. The look of an oven cabinet is great for unifying to overall aesthetic of the kitchen, but there are definite precautions that must be taken. Employing a professional to install an oven cabinet is essential to ensuring that it is done safely.

Each particular oven and oven cabinet situations will require some specific considerations regarding placement and usability, but there are a few universal concerns. Consult the manufacturer’s guide that was included with the oven to select the appropriate thickness of shielding and wood for the enclosure. Ovens are usually the least used tool in the cooking triangle, so placement at a spot outside the work triangle may be functionally appropriate. Oven cabinets can look appealing when they are aligned next to a tall cabinet or appliance like a refrigerator or pantry. However, the height of the cabinet does have a parameter related to safe removal that will create some limitation to its location, but it is nothing that one would not expect.
