The oven appliance of claim 1, wherein said first flange is constructed with a first metal and said second flange is constructed with a second metal, the first metal having a thickness that is less than a thickness of the second metal. 3. The oven appliance of claim 1, wherein the first and second portion of said second flange define a landing therebetween, the distal end portion of said first flange positioned at the landing of said second flange when said first and second doors are in the closed position. 4. The oven appliance of claim 3, wherein the second portion of said first flange includes a teardrop hem at the distal end portion of said first flange. 5. The oven appliance of claim 1, wherein said first and second door each include a sidewall, the sidewall of said second door positioned proximate the sidewall of said first door when said first and second doors are in the closed position, the first portion of said first flange mounted to the sidewall of said first door and the first portion of said second flange mounted to the sidewall of said second door. 6. The oven appliance of claim 1, wherein said first and second door each include a sidewall, the sidewalls of said first and second doors defining a gap therebetween when said first and second doors are in the closed position, said first flange engaging said second flange in order to hinder a flow of heated air out of the chamber of said cabinet when said first and second doors are in the closed position. 7.
