We are updating the galley on our 40' trawler and are having trouble finding an electric oven. Anyone out there that has updated from LP to electric and has a recommendation for an electric oven? Greatly appreciated.

Some high end microwaves have a convection selection .
A stove top requiring 6A of 120V can cost 65A of 12V DC to create.
Using a 2 burner stove could require double or 130A of 12V DC.
Batts live longest if long discharge loads are under about 10% of their rating.
So 1300 AH of batt bank might be required to function well.
This might equate to 1300 LBS of batterys.
When we are on battery we generally grill, we tend to run the gen about an hour morning and evening when anchored and i usually cook etc. when the generator is running. I know electric appliances are a draw and are a detriment to many, I am a bit phobic about LP on a boat. The trade off is worth it to me even though it is less convenient.Some high end microwaves have a convection selection .

We were not considering a countertop model - preferring to have a built in oven instead. I would guess that the different venting requirements would preclude placing a countertop model in a cabinet. Does anyone have any experience with this?I've been looking at some of the higher end standalone convection ovens, countertop or built-in.
This is just a sample, there are many other types/styles: https://countertopconvectionovenjudge.com/

"Most people run the electric stove/oven with a generator when away from the marina. "
true but the OP said,
"On the hook, with a inverter and a fair bank of house battery one would not be concerned of cooking with the gen set off."
