gas cooktop and over the range microwave

13 years ago

I am remodeling my kitchen and have read myself to the point of decision making paralysis. I have ordered cabinets and was planning to do an over the range microwave in my SMALL, galley kitchen in which I am desperate for counter space and trying to minimize losing storage. I have used a gas cooktop for 12 years with an unvented hood. I am not a big cooker, but do love the gas. My concerns and need for feedback are:

1) how big an issue is it to have a vented hood? If this largely an issue having gas versus electric?

2) My appliances are all white and it is difficult to find many choices in 30 inch white gas cook tops - how bad would it be to have stainless with everything else white?

3) If I do go with gas, should I disregard better cook tops that are higher BTU's with the venting situation?

4) I am having a very difficult time finding reviews that like any gas cook-tops consistently no matter how high end.

Thanks for any feedback....
