KASHRUS ALERT: ELECTRIC FREE-STANDING DOUBLE OVENS/WARMING DRAWERS

Some models of free standing electric ranges with warming drawers or double ovens may only have a single sheet of metal separating the upper oven from the lower oven as opposed to an insulated double metal layer.  This can create a kashrus problem when using one oven for meat & the other for dairy.   Consumers are urged to research these ovens very carefully before purchasing.
