Are Ranges Really Worth It?
Comments (32)Propane costs vary by region, so my experience may not be yours. I have had no problem with impurities here in Central Texas. Propane is about $2.50 per gallon. Mercaptan is added and settles to the bottom so that when the tank is nearing empty you will know it and have it refilled. It's a safety precaution as without it propane is odorless. In my locale, electricity is the most expensive, natural gas is the least, and propane is a bit more than natural gas. However, natural gas lines do not go out to my rural area, so the choice is electric or propane. I chose the latter, and received some rebates for doing so, since propane is drilled and refined in-state. I fully understand that both initial expenditures and ongoing costs factor into decision making. I have a beast of a propane stove (60", commercial) and am not sure I could get accustomed to more usual, sealed burner, lower BTU ranges, even though I do have an additional 30" cooktop with sealed burners. It's mostly visitors who use that one. I really don't like sealed burners for the way the flame curves out and around, especially when I use small pans. I also prefer that my range not dictate to me where I can place my pots. Your wife may not mind these things. Many do not. It seams all the prettiest residential ranges, e.g., La Cornue, Lacanche, and AGA, have sealed burners and variously-sized burners. BlueStar has open ones and is about as beast-like as you can get in a residential range. So, for me, one of the questions that needs answering is how important is that gasp-this-is-beautiful sensation every time you walk into the kitchen relative to that wow-this-stove-performs-beautifully-and-reliably sensation every time you cook on it.

Comments (5)I understand about the $2k budget. That was my limit when I was stove shopping a year and a half ago. Getting the oven door front painted might not be as expensive as you might assume. When I explored getting parts painted/powder coated, I was quoted $100 for the oven's and storage/warmer drawer' fascia pieces. Depending on what burner sizes and layouts you need or want, and which holiday weekend you shop, you might be able to get an induction stove for around $1300 to $1400. I've seen a Frigidare/Kenmore model (the one with rotating knobs for the burner controls) on sale for about that price. Sometimes the Samsung NE595NOPBSR drops down into that price range, as well. The usual prices seems to be in the $1500 to $1700 range. If you haven't looked at those models, you might want to check them out....See MoreRacing Red Induction
Comments (79)I have been using the electrolux induction slide in range for over 3 years now. Its in a peninsula with no hood over it as electrolux said I didn't need one - and they wore correct. The burners are fabulous -water boils quickly and you can cook anything to perfection. I did not buy expensive pans - Macy's and Walmart brands. The oven is a dream to bake cookies and cakes in - they always come out perfect using timing given in recipes. The Viking may be prettier, but the electrolux is less expensive with a very spacious oven plus a smaller low oven. Quality wise I had only one issue and customer service fixed it in less then a week. (a part had to be obtained.) I can only say good things about the unit and the wonderful customer service. Would suggest anyone wanting induction consider this range because it is less problematic them Vikings. BTW, a store near me in NJ allowed me to come in and test drive the Electrolux burners and oven before purchase....See MoreColorful Mexican Kitchens Part XV11!
Comments (150)When we were kids we just wore bright colors. They didn't want the parents to be obligated for costumes. I'm talking about in school, not dance class. When I was in Mexico in college and taking dance classes, short skirts were in. That is below the knee but not floor length. And we wore them with plain peasant blouses. No embroidery. Just ribbons on the flounce. I think it was meant as anti-colonial, and to be less quaint. Even though the skirts flirt the same way as the long ones do, they could otherwise have just been stylish skirts of the time. I think I still have mine somewhere. One is turquoise with red and white ribbons and lace. The other is a black and white print with white ribbons. We did really really traditional for one show, and more interesting ones for the other, but it's the traditional ones I remember best. I knew Jesusita En Chihuahua from school but we did the bridge in Mexico. :) And we did the real version of Jarabe Tapatio instead of the one everyone everywhere learns in school. And La Culebra, which is one of my very favorites. And a showpiece to Guadalajara. I don't remember the more intricate, less trite ones though....See More
