I know that you blokes are BBQ oriented and I understand that. I love BBQ all around. Both cooking it and eating it but you still have to have other ways to cook. With that in mind I just bought a new electric range. It's going to be delivered this afternoon. www.homedepot.com/p/GE-5-3-cu-ft-Electric-Range-with-Self-Cleaning-Oven-in-White-JB650DFWW/204370967I'd add that I paid quite a bit less for mine. I ordered it when they had it on sell. I've nothing against gas ranges, I've used them many times in commercial kitchens but this is a rental house and doesn't have a gas line and so electric was the sensible way to go. |

My new range came about two hours ago and it's awesome especially given I only paid a bit over $600 USD for it and that included delivery, installation and hauling the old one away.
Even better, I didn't have to do a thing beyond move some stuff out of the way and while I did hold the door open for them, they didn't ask me to. I just did it to be polite and help them a bit.

Nothing with it tonight. The manual says to run it through a self cleaning mode first which is what I'm doing right now and it stunk so bad that I opened the back door, turned on the central HVAC fan, turned on a floor fan and put on a surgical mask. This house is over 100 years old and so while it has been extensively renovated, I don't have an exhaust fan above the range. I've already cleaned and heated up the range top but I'm about three hours into a 4 hour self clean cycle on the oven and it's mostly electronic controls and very different from the one I had before and so I need to read the manual a bit more. For dinner tonight I'm making sandwiches on my electric griddle. Deli thin turkey and roast beef, on rye bread, a couple of slices of Swiss cheese on each one and the bread brushed with melted better with a bit of dried basil and garlic powder added to it. Flip it around on the griddle until the bread is brown and the cheese is melted, then add lettuce, tomato and a dill pickle on the side. Maybe toss some sliced yellow onions on the griddle and brown them. While this isn't the one I have it's along the same lines of what I'm talking about in terms of an electric griddle. www.amazon.com/Presto-07061-22-inch-Electric-Removable/dp/B005FYF3OY |
