I took that concept to the extreme. When I had my kitchen remodeled, I did not have a conventional stove installed, just a cooktop - no oven, as just about anything that I would have done in an oven, I was doing on the KK. I did have a combo microwave/convection oven (GE Advantium) installed above the cooktop. Didn't like the way that it baked, so I bought a counter-top, brick-lined, convection oven (Cuisinart), that I use for most baking things. Oh, and I still have a toaster. Worked out just fine for me, YMMV.
