1. A method for operating an oven appliance, the oven appliance having an upper cooking chamber and a lower cooking chamber each configured for receipt of food items for cooking, the method comprising:
ascertaining whether a sync mode of the oven appliance has been selected and, if so, then
determining a preheat exit temperature Tpre1 for the upper cooking chamber and a preheat exit temperature Tpre2 for the lower cooking chamber; initiating a preheat cycle for each cooking chamber; determining whether the upper or lower cooking chamber is heating faster than the other cooking chamber and, if so, then
adjusting the preheat cycle of the cooking chamber that is heating faster; and determining whether the temperature within the upper cooking chamber has reached at least preheat exit temperature Tpre1 and the temperature within the lower cooking chamber has reached at least preheat exit temperature Tpre2 and, if so, then
initiating a sync cooking cycle for each cooking chamber.
