Alas, the hassle of removing the round turntable and replacing it with the metal turntable (to use it as an oven), and then switching back after using it as an oven, mean we very rarely use top as an oven, really only in rare situations.
We also have a kitchen in the basement so that can be a good backup oven if we need to do a turkey or something.
We also have a GE profile, but we use it all the time! I admit that I'm probably not using it to it's fullest capacity since I've never read the full instruction manual, but it's still nice to have the smaller oven, which does heat up much more quickly than the larger oven. It is a bit of a hassle to remove the glass turntable and replace it with the metal, but we have an easily accessible place to store the metal turntable, so it isn't too bad.
