Thermador Ovens Series
Thermador’s oven series offers two main models, Pro Grand, and Pro Harmony. While each contains Thermador’s innovative features, they are different in their ways. Pro Grand ovens are known as the more powerful of the two, with high BTU outputs, up to 22,000, which make for faster, more effective cooking. They also allow for induction cooking which cooks your food faster than conventional gas or electric cooktops. Plus, Pro Grand ovens are larger overall than Pro Harmony.
Pro Harmony, on the other hand, is also an excellent choice from Thermador, with its benefits. The Pro Harmony model will fit seamlessly into your kitchen as it installs flush with all your cabinetry. It also comes with “star” burners (named for their shape), which are effective and easy to clean. They also include a convection fan that allows you to better control how you cook your food.
