Default Double oven: grill underneath main oven?

Hi,

Anyone know if it's still possible to get double built-in ovens with the
secondary oven/grill underneath the main oven? I'm refitting
(rebuilding?!?) our kitchen, and would like one like my parents have. I
don't want fat from the grill to spit in my face, like all the new ovens
look like they will do. (Reminds my of one of the Flanders and Swann
songs... "I'm delirious about our new cooker fitment with the eye-level
grill. This means that without my having to bend down the hot fat can
squirt straight into my eye!")

All the new ovens seem to have the secondary oven above the main oven. Is
this some new regulation or energy design issue, or am I just looking in
the wrong place?

Thanks,


I used to have a Neff one that was as you describe.

The trouble with the arrangement is that it puts the grill very low
down and it becomes a PITA to see what's going on.

The compartment did make a reasonable oven for doing relatively small
cooking jobs.

We used the grill very little because it was difficult to use and even
more difficult to clean.

I wouldn't buy another, to be honest.
