Does anyone actually have the Thermador Pro Grand Steam range?
Comments (26)I posted a while ago and never came back to answer the questions- sorry! I can give an update: Weve had the range for about 18 months now and we are very happy with it. We use the griddle very often, the grill insert from time to time The steam oven works well- no water on the floor- the water container has a lid that closes before you slip it in the slot. My only complaint- the small oven does not brown evenly on convention bake- I baked 2 pies in there at Thanksgiving (one at a time)- and the tops browned more at the back end of the over- had to be careful and cover with aluminum foil to avoid burning. We've had problems with the circular thermometer in the center of the range- In my opinion this is a silly feature - it does not really reflect the temperature inside the oven as i moves immediately on setting on or off, and something was wrong with the way it was wired into our range- the wires came loose at least twice- we had the warranty so repair was completely free - might as well since it was free, and now its been fine - I wouldnt pay to repair this as it is not very useful. I have never used self clean- and after readying about frying electronics I have elected to not use that feature and clean the oven myself....See MoreDoes anyone actually have a tree that produces 'fruit' up north?
Comments (15)Best bet would be to dig them up and store in winter in a cool but non freezing place to preserve the pstem (Must survive more than one season usually) for blooming if you dont have a warm greenhouse, or large room, but this does not work with all varieties, especially not the Cavendish types (stems die leaving corms), and your summers might be shorter than ours here in Oklahoma. Some types that store well this way with varying degrees of success are Orinoco (Does great), Dwarf Orinoco, Raja Puri, Dwarf Namwah, Musa Icecream. Saba stored well like this too, but I wont see fruit on it, it takes too long, and saba gets huge eventually and probably unmanageable for storage. Here is my tall Orinoco I have fruiting right now at ten feet of stem in zone 7a planted in the ground about April 15th (gets about 20 feet with leaves) that slept under my house bare root last winter at about 45/50F, with no roots, soil, leaves, light, water, etc. (Warning, Orinoco pstems can weigh 100+ pounds, pick a dwarf variety if you have a bad back) It takes about 3 weeks to resume growth in spring, plant the pstem a little deeper the next year to stabilize, and you have to take the time it takes to ripen in consideration for the type you are growing. You have to beat the first frost, and some types take a very long time to ripen, you wont always get fruit due to timing. Its been my experience that Viente Cohol does not overwinter very well indoors, dying back to pot level for me, and re sprouting, and you would need a pretty tall ceiling if you have a mature plant, and very big windows. But it is a short cycle banana, and can fruit and ripen very quickly if you can accommodate it, and worth a try. A banana pstem (visible false stem made of rolled up leaves, like straws inside of straws) will die after fruiting, but the corm/rhizome (The core of the plant) survives and puts up new pups/babies to replace the dead one. With this dig and store method, you get almost instant banana plant, and they look very impressive at about 20 feet (Including leaves) in a couple of months. After six months of storage under the house before planting again....See MoreDoes anyone have actual experience with Mont quartz?
Comments (7)I agree that the local fabricator is the initial source of service. But in the event that they don’t meet expectations, the manufacturer may need to get involved. One can see this from the number of posts on Houzz where a customer needed to engage Cambria bc if an issue with a fabricator. I feel as confident as I can about the fabricator in my area who sells Mont (there’s only one). They have a good reputation with local designers, and their online reviews are almost all positive. But there are a few people who haven’t had a great experience (this is probably going to be true if any fabricator - it certainly is in my area). The company that is allowing the fabricator to sell their products should be willing to get involved if necessary. I actually have Cambria at another property and am having an issue that is 100% a fabrication issue, and the fabricator has not held up their end (this is a different fabricator than the one that carries Mont). I am close to having to call Cambria to ask for their help. So I’ve learned that the fabricator matters most, but I need the company whose name is on the product to be reputable as well. Especially since in this case, the fabricator is not a company that my designer has an account with, so she will not have influence to leverage in the event of an issue....See MoreAnyone have a sleek contemporary hood that actually works?
Comments (0)We're getting ready to remodel the kitchen in our new house but this time we're going for a modern streamlined look. Our last kitchen had a 1200 CFM Modern Aire hood and we have a 600 CFM Prestige at the beach. Both function extremely well, though the Prestige is very loud. I'd like less of a profile this time but I'm concerned that a flat chimney hood won't have enough capture. Does anyone have a modern style hood that works well? Thanks!...See Moremad_gallica (z5 Eastern NY)
