If you’re like me, there’s a gourmet cook inside just waiting to get out! But let’s face it, by the time you work all day, clean up the house, and run kids around, there’s a lot of days that it’s just easier to pick up the phone and order a pizza for dinner.
So when you do have time to get in the kitchen and make a home cooked meal, don’t you deserve to enjoy cooking and baking for your family? Yes, you do!
The best way to enjoy being in the kitchen is by having appliances to use that are functional and beautiful at the same time.
You’re not going to find an oven that gives you the best of both and be professional quality unless you take a look at a Viking French Door Oven–let’s check it out!

Viking French Door Oven Quality
The Viking VSOF730SS 7 Series 30″ French Door Wall Oven is impressive from the first look. The design is sleek and modern and will fit in beautifully with any style kitchen.
At 4.7 cu. ft. in size, it’s a large capacity oven that will fit even the largest meals you want to cook.
The french doors open easily with one hand since whichever handle you use, both doors open simultaneously.
As much as I love the look of a french door oven, what really matters is the fact that I don’t have to reach over a large hot oven door!
This style is a big trend for 2019, and I think the way the french doors function, it’s going to stay around for a very long time.
Cooking And Baking Features You’ll Love!
The functions of the Viking French Door Oven are enough to take the chore out of cooking and baking. Here are the main features that stand out with this oven:
~ Large Capacity–The largest Thanksgiving turkey will fit perfectly!
~ 3 Oven Racks–I love cookies, but hate baking them because it takes forever to make a few dozen cookies. With 3 racks, I can bake my grandson’s favorite cookies all in one batch!
~ Convection System–This oven features the TruConvec™ convection cook and has the exclusive Vari-Speed Dual Flow™ Convection System. It has an 8 1/2″ two speed fan, which is the largest in the industry, and it works bi-directionally for maximum air flow. What does that mean? Excellent cooking results!
Here are the cooking modes that this oven can do with this system:
- Convection Bake
- Convection Roast
- Convection Broil
- TruConvec™ Convection Cook
- Convection Dehydrate
- Convection Defrost
~ Fast Preheating–With their Rapid Ready™ Preheat, this oven preheats super fast. This feature is especially handy when you’ve come home after a long day and don’t want to wait forever to get supper in the oven!
~ 10 Pass Dual Bake Element–Not only does this provide excellent temperature control, but the elements are concealed, which makes clean up easier.
~ Superior Broiling–The broiler is an extra-large Gourmet-Glo™ Glass Enclosed Infrared Broiler. It provides maximum coverage for superior performance. In addition to the Convection Broil mentioned above, there is Hi Broil, Medium Broil, and Lo Broil!
~ Steam Cleaning–If you’re the same type of cook that I am (messy), the steam clean function is one of the best features! It only takes 20 minutes and is designed for light to medium cleaning.
~ Meat Probe–When using the meat probe, the timer goes off when the meat reaches the desired temperature and the oven shuts off.
~ Black Chrome Heavy Duty Knobs–These knobs are quality and look great, designed to last a long time. The CoolLit™ LED Lights are accented in Viking blue when the knob is turned on.
~ Delay Cooking–This is a feature that I use a lot. I love to take a frozen roast, season it up, put baby carrots and red potatoes around it and sliced onions on top.
Then cover it tightly with aluminum foil and put it in the oven with the delayed cooking function. I can head into town to work for a few hours and by the time I get home, one of my husband’s favorite dinners is ready!
All of the functions and features of the Viking French Door Oven make this a quality appliance that works every bit as terrific as it looks!

Viking Double Wall Oven Is Even Better!
What could be better than this Viking French Door Oven? Their double oven version–Viking VDOF730SS!
This 9.4 cu. ft. total capacity oven combines the features of the single oven with a conventional door oven below it. Never again will you have to worry that you won’t have enough oven space for even the biggest family gatherings!
The reviews on AppliancesConnection.com for this oven are 5 out of 5 stars, and here is what some of them said about Viking French Door Double Oven:
**Replace this with single wall oven. Working great, I love both ovens it has more room and the temperature is just perfect for all my recipes. Beautiful upgrade.**
**This was the first french door oven I saw, and the fact that it came with a regular oven on the bottom made me go for it.**
**Takes very little time for preheat, and cooks very evenly.**

The Gourmet Cook In You Will Love The Viking French Door Oven
If you’re looking for one of the newest trends that’s here to stay for your next oven, I recommend looking at a french door oven. You can’t beat it for design, looks, and function, and Viking has two of the best models on the market today!
What do you think of the french door design? Will you consider it for your next oven? I’d love to hear your opinions in the comments below!
This looks like the mother of all stoves and would be perfect for a larger family.
I wonder what it will cost, but am assuming that it is rather costly. That said, you get what you pay for and if the quality and features are indeed as extensive as described in the review, I’m sure it is well worth the price.I love the fact that it can be color coded to suit your kitchen color scheme.
Friends of mine are building their house. Their family is fairly large. I will be sure to recommend this article to them 🙂
This would be a fantastic oven for a large family! If you click on the links in the article, it will take you to the merchant, and you’ll see the current price plus any specials they have. I love AppliancesConnection.com because they’re usually always running discounts and specials!
Hello Janelle, thanks for this excellent review on Viking French Door Oven. My grandmother loves enjoys cooking and as Christmas approaches I feel that buying her something related to Christmas would make her super happy. Coming across your post, I feel that this will be a fantastic gift for her. The pricing is within my range and the oven seems to be high quality. Thanks for making this post at the perfect time for me.
That would be a wonderful present for your grandmother, and I am sure she will absolutely love it!
Hi Janelle
This oven looks great! Never heard of a oven with a conventional defrost feature before, how cool! Steam cleaning oh wow there’s no end to great features here. Had a quick look of the great choice of colours. Don’t suppose you know if it can be delivered to the UK?
I checked with ApplianceConnection.com, and unfortunately, they don’t ship outside the US. You can call the customer service number at Viking Range, and they should be able to let you know all of your options. That number is 888-845-4641. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Wow! Didn’t even know about french door ovens. Looks amazing! Love the features. Anything that makes cooking and cleaning easier is a win! And if you really think about it, leaning in over the normal oven door is actually a health hazard. I think the French doors will have to become standard. Thanks for this great review!
You’re welcome! Not leaning over a hot oven door is one of the reasons I first took a look at french door ovens because I don’t have very long arms. But when I saw the looks and the features, I was hooked!
Really, the Viking French Door Oven looks a great oven. Despite the high price of such a device, I would also like in my kitchen.For my family, though, this size may be too big. I hadn’t heard of the possibility of steam cleaning that year. I have a question in this regard. Where’s the dirty water remains? Is it something like a dishwasher? Thank you.
To steam clean with this model, you remove all the racks but one. Then you put 2 cups of distilled water in the broiler pan and put the pan in the oven. Set the oven temperature to bake at 225°, and when it’s up to temp, set your timer for 20 minutes. A quick wipe of the oven when it’s done, and that’s all there is to it!
Coming across your site must be a sign…I just pinned, about an hour ago, a Viking gas cooktop onto one of my Pinterest boards!
Having high end, high quality appliances does make a difference in how you cook and how well you enjoy cooking. I can’t wait until I am able to remodel my kitchen (in 2-3 years) and this Viking French oven is going on my list!

It is a beauty, and I think you’ll love it!
I heard about refrigerators with French doors but not stoves. I like the specs on the oven they are very similar to my current oven . My co worker and I was just discussing purchasing a dehydrator and I notice this oven has one.
I hate cooking but I realize the health benefits of making your own food. Since the oven is a wall unit does this mean you need to have an existing wall unit to replace? I might also have to consider a countertop option.
Cooking your own food is much healthier since you control all of the ingredients, and having quality appliances can make it so much easier! If you don’t have a wall unit now, you’ll get all the information on the dimensions of the rough opening you’ll need and the wiring requirements to install it.
If you’re looking for a countertop oven, Oster makes a wonderful appliance. You can read my full review of the Oster French Door Oven and see everything it offers!
Hi Janelle, wow! I saw one of these at a freinds house on a recent visit to the U.S. I couldn;t beleive what I was looking at and they absolutely raved about it. They say it is the best oven they have ever had and, as they are amazing cooks, I have absolutely no reason to doubt them.
i am looking at building a new house in the next year and will be placing this type of oven on my list for sure. Thanks again
Paul
This Viking oven will look wonderful in any style kitchen, and I think you’ll love it in your new house!
Hi Janelle! Yeah, you have read my mind. There are days when I really want to cook. And it’s so nice to enjoy it. It shows in the meal we’re preparing.
And this Viking French Door Oven definitely will continuously invite us to cook. I love the design. And its large capacity has made me make up my mind! Plus, Stainless Steel is among the color options. That’s really great! Thank you very much!
You’re welcome, and I know you won’t be disappointed with this fabulous oven!
Such a comprehensive article that covers almost all that I need in an oven. Although this looks great for a large family but the functions that it come with make it suitable for my use. My current oven usually leaves traces of smell of whatever I cook in my room. With this quality door, I think it will do better than what my current oven is delivering me.
I have to follow it up for my change. Thanks for the info
You’re welcome, thanks for stopping by!
I enjoy cooking very much. I am currently living in the apartment but I am going to move in a month. At the moment I am decorating and preparing my kitchen. I realised that I want to cook way more than I could here. So I need a bigger oven.
This Viking oven is really great and big also. If it can fit the biggest turkey, than this is my kind of oven :).
What I like the most about ovens like these, amongst usual things for one oven, is the fast preheat option. Eating barbecue from the day before is now real thing. Also eating any kind of meal that needs to be prehated is a piece of cake.
The only minus I see for now is the price. I would have to check my budget again and make sure this oven would fit. Anyways I really appreciate your effort and for showcasing us this amazing oven.

I remember when I went from cooking on a small apartment stove to my first house–it was wonderful having a big oven! Good luck with your move, and thank you for stopping by!
Wow, this seems to me to be one of the very best door ovens that I would be able to buy in the market right now and looking at how it works just makes me believe that I would be able to make so much money from it because I also truly love it myself. So happy that you can point it out and write about it.
Are you a baker? I can see how this Viking oven would be absolutely wonderful for you and a joy to bake with!
Hello there Janelle! Thank you so much for sharing this article on the Viking French door oven. It looks like such a great oven and I’m definitely falling in love with it already. Although it has a high cost but I’ve always told my self, quality over cost. The specs on this oven are just great and I am definitely going to get it. Thanks for sharing
The Viking french door oven isn’t the cheapest oven you can buy on the market. But I’ve bought my fair share of cheaper appliances over the years, and they don’t last as long and need more repairs. So in the long run, they didn’t wind up being less expensive.
When I came across this oven and saw the quality, features, and looks, I definitely think it’s worth every penny!
Wow…such a nice piece. The review you made on this location: This Viking oven is so impressive. I will have to say that I fell love already by the first picture! Off to share this now so people close by won’t play with this opportunity to eat nice. Thanks a lot for this review.
