Building a home

[Al B. Sure!]

I like how Asher said he hated gas stoves (for some reason), but when I mentioned "Electric stove?", everyone joined in praising gas, and now Asher's mind is suddenly changed. A change of mind on Apolyton no less

[Krill]

Now you all have me torn on the stove.

I'm now leaning towards induction...

If you can get Induction, get it. It's awesome.

[Krill]

I've heard induction is terrible for woks and other non-large surface area, flat cook bottoms.

You say that but I can cook stir-fry on Induction fine.

I spoke to many people about it. I don't care how you cook your spaghetti-Os.

HAHA, that's hilarious and cruel.

[Hauldren Collider]

You can always get a plug-in electric stove if you decide you hate gas, right?

[Japher]

F the stove... all you need is a woodfired pizza oven

I'd go with natural gas too especially with all the other NG hookups. It's definitely the best for cooking IMO. I think NG dryers are very efficient/fast but I've never owned one. You might want to look into it though.

I originally like to cook with gas the most, but as I did more cooking that required a low simmer, I converted to electric. On most gas ranges even the lowest setting can be too hot. And those simmer burner covers really weren't that good and looked awful. I went to one of those flat ceramic tops and they are so much easier to clean and look nicer. So I traded the high temperature advantages of a gas range for the cleaner looking, better lower temperature control.

[SpencerH]

Yeah, if you dont have heavy cookware that spreads the heat, simmering can be troublesome with a flame. Since Asher doesnt seem to be much of a cook, a gas stove might be a problem.

[MikeH]

I don't really have that problem with gas, but I bet they have decent cookware anyway!

[The Mad Monk]

I think this is my stove.

It looks sharp, has two ovens (one gas w./ convection fan, one electric) and five burners, and comes with both the center burner grate and the center griddle.

[SpencerH]

$1300! Did you tell em you didnt need the car that came with it!

[giblets]

It says $800 in rebates... why don't they just charge $500?

It's funny because my first apartment stove/oven was the epitome of this. But the current one my wife and I have really does simmer very well. I was kinda dreading it but the stove is like 5-6 years old and it simmers!
