Wolf ovens are built-in appliances for kitchens planned around serious cooking, and the range covers single ovens, double ovens and convection steam ovens. Most models are 762 mm wide, which is larger than the standard UK 60 cm opening, so check your cabinetry first. If your kitchen has a conventional housing, there are 60 cm versions of the single oven and the steam oven.

The ovens come in Wolf's M Series and E Series, in three styles. Contemporary models are handleless, in black or stainless steel, with touchscreen controls. Professional models have stainless steel with a pro-style handle. Transitional models also use a stainless steel handle, and the Transitional double oven has rotary dials. The 762 mm single ovens list gross capacities of up to 145 litres, compared with 68 litres for the 60 cm model. A double oven gives you two cavities, so you can roast and bake at different temperatures at the same time. All the single and double ovens have self-cleaning, and pyrolytic cleaning is specified on some. Most models list a cooking probe, which lets you cook a joint to its internal temperature rather than by time alone. The E Series Transitional single oven adds a dual convection system, Gourmet Mode with 50 presets, and Sabbath Mode.

Wolf convection steam ovens combine fan heat with steam. This keeps roasts moist, gives bread a crisp crust and reheats food without drying it out. They come in 60 cm and 76.2 cm widths, from 34 to 68 litres gross. Most are listed as non-plumbed and work from a water tank, so you don't need a water supply. On the 76.2 cm models, Wolf designs the tank so you can top it up without opening the door. Every steam model has a steam cleaning mode, and most have telescopic shelves.

To narrow the choice, start with your housing width, 762 mm or 60 cm. Then decide whether you want one large cavity, two cavities, or a steam oven to go alongside a conventional oven. Finally, pick the Contemporary, Professional or Transitional look that matches your other appliances.
