Bluestar and AG Wolf - will the hot doors scald the wee ones??
Comments (6)Well, I don't have the BlueStar *yet*, but I am hoping to get one in the very near future. At those worst-case scenario temperatures, I'd think most neurotypical kids would yank their hands back pretty quickly with minimal damage. The only exception I can think of is a cruiser who worked their way along the cabinets and accidentally moved to the oven door for support - there's potential there for a serious burn while they're trying to figure out what to do. (OTOH, I grabbed a blowtorch by the nozzle when I was a toddler and I survived.) For most kids, I think it's a great chance to teach "hot - no touching!" without a trip to the hospital. My only *real* concern would be if you had a kid/friend/neighbor with Sensory Processing Disorder or Autism or some other neurological problem which might prevent them from feeling the heat properly. This is, in fact, the case with my daughter and the reason I've really been thinking this out. If she stood there with her face pressed against a 200 degree door, she really could hurt herself. Will this keep me from getting a BlueStar? Nah. Not at this point, anyway. Lucky for me, my Bug is seven now, smart as a tack and quite handy with the ray-gun style instant thermometer. So I plan on making her a chart of "safe to touch" temperatures and having extensive safety lessons. She needs to learn what "too hot" and "too cold" are, whether she can physically feel it or not. Learning to cook is important. Learning to be safe is important. And I think the risks the hot oven door *may* represent are an acceptable trade off for the benefits in my family's case. Just my perspective, though - only you know your kids and your cooking style and can decide what's right for you ;-) Good luck!...See MoreFrenchDoor Ovens - BlueStar ?who has? like it?
Comments (5)only the bottom rack fully extends, you also have 2 x 3/4 regular pull out racks. As for the Broiler it is the same as in the range 1850 degrees. covers a relatively small area but very powerful. to see the shelves watch the video link below Here is a link that might be useful: Bluestar oven video link...See MoreBluestar French door ovens
Comments (3)3 years ago We installed Blue S cooktop 36" w/ 6 burners and on opposite side of kitchen a French door 30" gas. I am not a baker. I generally use oven only a little HOWEVER since acquiring this blue star I use the oven a lot more. Having it high on the wall and the ability to get close to the racks... Eg not reach in and over a door is a great incentive! Really. Was concerned about 30" as we have generally had larger. The cavity is quite spacious. I can place several cookie sheets in at one go. Capacity is actually greater than my old 30" thermador electric below counter oven This is because a lot of the venting and insulation space is on top and below, not in side. We are satisfied customers!!! Now looking at BS French door 30" ELECTRIC for another home as we split our time between two cities due to work and family....See MoreDoes your BlueStar oven singe cabinets next to it?
Comments (17)Thanks crl for the link! The cabinets are standard depth frameless. I don't doubt that moving the stove forward would help, but the stove installation specs said zero clearance. It's already set forward the thickness of the backsplash. It's odd that others are have the same installation (crcollins) with the cabinet door overlapping the edge of the stove, and they don't have this issue. I'm amazed deb's cabinet maker replaced the door. I guess I won't keep my hopes up and contact them as well as Bluestar next....See Morestooxie
