About to lose my mind! Please help ...
Comments (12)Debster, if your photos are located on a photo-hosting site like Photobucket or flickr (or any other Internet site, for that matter), you can put multiple photos in a single GW post. In other circumstances, you can always put a single photo in each post. (If GW's software gets paranoid -- thinking you're posting spam -- simply change the title [in the Subject of Posting field] and that usually persuades the software you're okay.)...See Morelacanche cluny owners please advise
Comments (7)We've have had no challenges with our Cluny ovens and their size. We have one gas for roasting meats moistly (and slow cooking) and one convection for all my baking. Love this machine! We went to the factory in France and watched the assembly up close and saw all the newer color choices in 2008, long after our burgundy Cluny was put into service. It is really an affair of the heart to own one - and why not have this particular pleasure? The pleasure continues every day. Our only challenge has been cooking with the intensity of the simmer flame. We are finally going to adjust it down manually and also just ordered a flame diffuser. Just lazy not to have done it before....See MoreLacanche Owners?
Comments (10)Wayfinder -- I have been cooking since April on a Lacanche Sully (one gas, one electric (no convection) oven; Traditional configuration with an optional Classique burner on the right side. We did this because the Traditional config. was cheaper but as it happens, it's better, too -- when not in use, you have a surface to put things down on in the middle of the stove. The cooktop is awesome to cook on, but you have to carefully adjust the flames so that they get low enough, but do not accidentally go out when on the lowest flame. Even the smallest (5K BTU) burner tends to keep things boiling, so a heat spreader is a necessity. One of the great things is that they hold the heat in the pot -- so vegies, and pasta come back to a boil really quickly and wokking is a joy. It has taken me a lot of time to learn how to use the ovens, which you must calibrate and an oven thermometer is a real necessity. But, now I love them. They maintain heat very well (they are so well insulated and sealed). These are not Wolf ovens, with easily sliding racks - there are no lights inside, the ovens are wider and shorter than we are used to, and the racks require a real tug. But chickens come out superbly, as do baked goods. Both gas and electric ovens work very well. I opted against convection because I have a convection microwave....See MoreBuyers, what would put your mind at ease?
Comments (14)Considering that these will happen every so often in Texas without being in a flood plain, but just from poor grading, nothing you've said so far has put my mind at ease. To fix there should be regrading of the yard so that all water goes around the house to the front and not into the house. A French drain is all well and good, but is a maintenance thing and may or may not hold all the water considering how much rain we can get in a very short amount of time even though it doesn't happen often. My old house was similar in the lot slope. There was a retaining wall that leveled a bit of yard closest to the house where the grass from the house was sloped toward that retaining wall and outward toward the sides and behind it was a swale re-directing the water to the sides of the house for any water that came toward the house. Worked really well when we had those 10" rain falls happening in just an hour. We had all this inspected before buying the house as they mentioned some similar flooding to yours. I was worried the first time it rained like that, but no issues at all. Lots of water running on the other side of the swale though.
