***Ladies Section*** Too good to be true... new stove

The oven worked just fine Thursday after 5th Gear fixed it. Today it took 3 hours just to get up to 205 degrees. Of course, earlier I had already taken a frozen pizza out of the box and added some fresh mushrooms, sliced onions, kalamata olives and more cheese. Screw this danged stove!

I fired up the charcoal grill to 400 degrees (what the pizza needed), added two small wood chunks for smoke and put the pizza on the side of the grill opposite the pile of coals. That sucker was really great!

5th Gear has done research and this morning we're headed to Home Depot to get a basic stove. It's one of their Best Buys and has over 2000 customer reviews, most of which are good to very good. It's a Whirlpool and just $418. It has the cast iron grates and the simmer burner, two things we really want. No fancy buttons "for casseroles" or "for pizza". Don't need that mess. No fifth burner in the middle but we never have used the one we have now! The broiler is in a drawer in the bottom, not inside the oven but that's OK too. Can't remember the last time I've ever used it. We'll use the broiler drawer to store pot lids.

I will salvage the cooking grates and oven racks before they haul the stove off.

Let's block ads! (Why?)
