still can't decide on a pro-style range!
Comments (38)We have a Viking with 15K BTU burners and were hoping to get a set-up performance wise from that, in the remodel for our vacation house. Today, we managed to see the Capital side by side with the Viking we own. Before that, we told the salesman and he said that the Capital was not a step-up. Surprised, I told him we had heard otherwise. So he takes me to their test kitchen and attempts to turn on the Capital. The first burner would not light up and after smelling gas, he stops trying to light that one. He then started another which after a couple of clicks, lit up. I was surprised how small the flame was. And how it stayed in the outside circle. He then started our Viking cooktop next to it and it was in another class altogether! I was amazed. Note that he had a ton of Capital equipment on the floor so this is not something they try to shy away from. So looks like we are kind of stuck as we wanted a large griddle and Viking and Capital are the ones that make it (in the highly recommended category), and Bluestar does not. So we are going to augment the cooktop with Induction at this point to get the higher temps....See MoreCan't decide... Gaggenau or Viking cooktop?
Comments (5)I am definitely no fan of Viking, but will say it has more cache or recognizibility than Viking in most circles. While a fan of Gaggenau, I'd steer away from the 291. We speced 2 in the last 12 months and both have required service. One was the first imported to the USA, but the other was on the second shipment. I feel it's way to complicated for a gas cooktop. Both times Gagg. has serviced them, albeit slowly as there seems to only be one factory tech in the ATL. First one got a new computer board. @nd I think got linkage adjustments. Subtext...........why does a gas cooktop need a computer?????...See MoreOld, Deep Cast Iron Sink or New Sink? I can't decide
Comments (20)Thank you My3dogs (this is my first post here so I am not sure if you will know I am replying to you.....the last time I looked at GardenWeb it was not part of Houzz...) I ADORE the Danby marble in my original post picture with the vintage sink. And I am not a 100% sold on Quartz/Quartzite but my concern is we have soapstone now and I am not pleased with it. A guest comes over and sets a casserole dish down and then pulls it out and it scratches. My "hard on equipment" husband unloads the dishwasher and drags a dish by the edge and it dings. I did like a white granite and thought it may be more durable than the soapstone but then researched the quartz or caesar stone and it seems bulletproof. The 'carrera" caesar stones look very marblesque. But I do love the look and feel of marble and so many on this forum have said it is NOT that hard to care for. Another dilemma! I believe I will have my husband make me a ply wood counter as funkycamper suggests....to try out the sink. I also need to research the faucets and get the sink resurfaced if I do decide on it (and I think I will always be sad if I don't..)...See Morecan't decide between quartz or marble for kitchen island
Comments (41)Hi everyone so it’s been a year now. After searching and searching, we ended up tearing all the tops out and doing MT Blanc quartzite everywhere. There are beautiful! However I’m still looking for a good dealer (the one i used doesn’t block oil very well)....See Morewritersblock (9b/10a)
