Jenn-Air. Featuring an image-enabled Culinary Center, the maker’s newest wall oven model will help home cooks perfect their techniques in the kitchen. Equipped with a 7-inch glass touch-screen, the Culinary Center in the double wall-oven incorporates color illustrations to help users determine the desired doneness levels for their dishes, while also highlighting pan choices and offering how-to suggestions for cooking techniques. The oven’s dual-convection fan makes it possible to take advantage of a “no preheat” feature without sacrificing even cooking. Installers will like the common cutout fit, allowing for simple installation into virtually any existing wall oven cutout. www.jenn-air.com
