Capital or Wolf
Comments (29)Billy, if your pot is boiling over on simmer, then something is definitely wrong. It could be the calibration, it could be something else. For all I know, it could be wrong LP/natural gas configuration, then you have an orifice issue. Over Christmas, I had 5qts of Bolognese simmering in one pot and 4qts of garden veggie marinara simmering in another and it was never a problem. I got just a few small bubble popping on the surface of each pot, all normal simmering. I also had a about a quart of Brandy Cream sauce in a small pot that I needed to hold and not simmer. So in that case, I kept the lid on and offset the pan. I needed to keep the lid on to prevent the skin. And it held beautifully. Last night I did a little test of my simmer. I used a 1.5qt pan and put 3 cups of water in it. I brought it to a boil and then turned it down to simmer with the lid off. Once the boiling subsided, I put the lid back on. I checked back 30 minutes later and it was simmering, meaning there was some minor bubbling. I checked the temp with a candy thermometer and it registered just under 200F. It was a wee hotter than it should be. I put the lid back on and left a crack. Checked again 30 minutes later and no bubbles. The temperature of the water was ~185F. That's a low simmer. Then I offset the pan and left the lid cracked. But I fell asleep on the couch. I woke up this morning, six hours later, and rushed to the range. I opened the lid and the water was still, while the flame still on. I checked the temp and it was ~175F. I checked the water and I had a little more than 2.75 cups. I don't know what else there is to say, other than it works for me. You can disagree with me all you want about ways to tame a hotter burner for simmer, but I've been in restaurant kitchens with Vulcans and Garlands with all ~30K BTU burners, and that's what we did to simmer when the burner was too hot. We left the lid off, cracked the lid or offset the pot. For warming and holding we used a bain marie. My grandmother on a wood burning stove in the country side simmered by cracking the lid and offsetting the pot. My mother, when I was young, simmered rice on the old open burners the same way. I'm sure others on this forum have done the same, including professional chefs. To address your situation of having all the burners full, say you did have one simmer burner and needed to simmer two or three pots. One pot would be all set, but what would you do with the rest of them if the simmer is too high?...See MoreCapital Culinarian Grill question

Comments (23)I'm looking for a rangetop, either slide in or drop-in. Everything about this range looks perfect to me except the "island trim" which won't work in my application (in front of a window). Usually island trim means the trim is flush with the counter surface. This one rises above the back of the unit. How will people use this on an island?...See MoreCapital owners - question on the infrared grill
Comments (9)Oh my - I did not mean to scare you all! It functions beautifully. I am just neurotic about having everything look nice. It will never look brand new once you use it. Yes, all the drippings fall into the pan which cleans perfectly. You have to keep in mind that I never cleaned an outdoor grill before. DH did that. I like everything to look perfect. The top of the range and the ovens clean so easily and always look good as new. The grill will have black marks on the grill portion that I can't get off which bugs me. I'm probably unrealistic in that area....See Moreagk2003
