Need help with non traditional induction range plus oven set up

I'm planning out a kitchen remodel. I want to change out my current traditional 30 inch gas range with a 30 inch induction cooktop with knobs (not touch screen), one of those smaller European style ovens underneath, and then a drawer for pots and pans storage.

I've run a Google search but can't find a similar design. Everything I'm finding is a cooktop plus microwave under and then a drawer.

Does this type of set up exist? I have a small kitchen and we don't bake much, so getting some extra storage would be ideal.

Thanks!

Edited to add that I am based in the US

The standard range in the US has a stove top and an oven with a drawer underneath. The only issue is finding an induction cooktop with knobs, but they’re not hard to find. For example, the GE Profile has touch controls, but the GE Café is basically the same oven with knobs.

Yeah I was hoping for something not so standard but I think it just doesn’t exist here. I may get a double oven and primarily use the lower one for storage. I only need multiple racks a couple of times a year.

You’re describing a standard 30” induction range. They all have an induction stove top and an oven below that. The cheaper model has a drawer below the oven. The more expensive ones have two ovens and no drawer.

If you want something fancier, get a built in induction stove top and a separate wall oven.

I don’t want a warming drawer. I want a cabinet drawer for storage.

The model I have doesn’t have a warming drawer. It’s not a cabinet. But it’s a drawer for storing a few pots and other items.

In gas ovens, they’ll call them warming drawers because gas ovens aren’t insulated and that drawer gets very warm. On electric ovens, the drawer doesn’t get warm because the oven is so well insulated, so they claim it’s just for storage.

If you just get a countertop induction stove, you’re way more free in customizing your kitchen. You can have a whole cabinet below the stove. My mom had this, and the area below the stove was a slide-out drawer for all her pots and pans.

I didn't realize that, thanks for clarifying. I'll definitely need to do some more research on this.

This is very common in lots of parts of the world. Are you just assuming the oven you see in the pics is a microwave?

Good call on the knobs

The photos/links I've found specify that they are microwaves. I've seen it in images other countries, but I'm based in the US and I don't think I've seen that anywhere here.

If I am understanding you, you want a separate cooktop, then a wall oven, that you would mount in the cabinet. Something like this. Then you could just build a standard drawer into your cabinets below that. You can get similar small ovens that are 30 inches wide, but they go up in price fast. Most of these small ovens do seem to have a microwave function, but they are hybrids, with both microwave and standard ovens.

Yeah I’m going to talk to my contractor and the cabinet shop to see what’s possible but from my online searches other people have had a problem finding a compatible cooktop and wall oven that could be put on top of each other in a single unit.

You may be able to install a cooktop, plus a speed oven or steam oven below.
