I can't figure out how to use Gag combi steam oven.
Comments (17)Oh yes, I absolutely love my Gagg steam oven! After enjoying it for almost two years, I know I'd replace it in a heartbeat if I had to, despite the outrageous price. I've learned to steam many of the things I used to boil---potatoes or shrimps, for example. It's much faster than waiting for a pot of water to boil, and if you're in a severe drought situation, as we were last summer, it saves water. For steaming small quantities, I use an inexpensive Chinese bamboo steamer, placing it on the wire rack; a 10"-diameter one works fine, and you can stack two if necessary. Usually, they come in three-piece sets (two round baskets plus a cover), but since you don't need the cover in the steam oven, try to find a place that sells them singly (sorry, I can't remember where I got mine). But stick with the steam oven, and don't be afraid to experiment a bit after you feel more comfortable with the knobs and buttons. I think you'll come to love it as much as most owners do. ---Margaret...See MoreProblem w/install of wolf cooktop over electrolux wall oven
Comments (4)Sorry weedmeister, I guess I forgot to check off that I wanted any responses sent to my e-mail, so all this time I thought no one had responded to me. Our 36" height counter will have granite installed on it. The cabinet to install/surround the 30" wall oven would be 33" width. Thanks for clarifying that the 4 1/2" toekick area was a maximum and not a minimum. My builder tells me that he thinks he could make it work, but it will definitely be only a couple inches off the ground. The alternative is to change the kitchen design and put the oven to the left of the cooktop where my 33" wide drawer base was going and move the drawers under the cooktop instead. (I'll lose one drawer and they would now be only 30"). Not sure of this compromise and not sure if the oven will look weird sitting to the left of the cooktop, though it may be easier to put things into the oven directly from the cooktop with this configuration. I'm still plugging away, but at this point my builder is at a standstill until appliances are picked so electrician can come in. Any other thoughts appreciated....See MoreTrying to figure out what range to get
Comments (26)As I have stated an unknown number of times,the buzzing sound is not the appliance it is the pan. Induction makes no noise at all. The only thing you should hear is the hum of a small cooling fan(s). Pans depending upon their construction is the source of your buzzing. Cheaply constructed pans will produce buzzing. Even very good quality pans can be heard if enough power is used on them, but generally this is in the "boost mode" and not an issue on normal cooking settings. Expensive does not necessarily mean good quality! Weather you need a service upgrade is dependent upon whether or not your new appliance exceeds the electrical capacity of the existing circuit. As a general rule, 40 Amp service will suffice with "most" modern units. Obviously looking at the specifications would be the prudent thing to do before attempting to connect a new induction unit. If this is over your head, then have an electrician look at your service and determine if it is safe to put the desired unit in place without an upgrade. Knobs, personal choice. I personally love knobs but it is not a deal breaker. When replacement time comes if I find one with electronic controls I like I will go for it. As was pointed out earlier it is better IMO to have individual controls for each hob as opposed to having to select the hob and then manipulate power settings. I have also known touch controls to not function if enough moisture gets on them, boil over for example. Magnetic fields, yes they exist, obviously this at the heart of how it operates. As "M" pointed out an individuals actions to be affected by them would have to be so far off the wall, it is hardly worth mentioning....See MoreTrying to figure out full house standby generators.
Comments (21)Ron, everything you say is correct, except, full description: The power comes from the street on an overhead line to a pole on my property with a transformer. From the transformer, the service goes down the pole underground to a meter stand about 50 feet away, where the meter and cutoff switch are located; this was all done by the POCO. Initially, it was a 200 Amp meter with a 200 Amp underground service to my house, about 180 feet away. At that time, there was also a receptacle mounted on the meter stand (and, I assume, a breaker somewhere). When they discovered their mistake, the meter was changed to a 400 Amp meter and a second 200 Amp underground service ran to the second 200 load center, which now services primarily my boiler. I got my CO after all this was done. My initial plan for a generator was to locate it next to he meter stand, so I had a large propane tank installed nearby with a line, again underground, to the house where it services my gas cooktop only. My thought was to put a generator near the propane tank and feed it to one or both of the services which start at the meter panel. These ideas were all approved in principle by the builder and his electrician. If this generator were to feed only the second 200 Amp line, I might move my more essential circuits from the first load center to the second. Last December, I had solar panels installed. The very professional installer ran his line from the roof down to just outside my utility room, in to the two inverters in that room, then to two cutoff switches (one outside), to the second load center. I discussed this whole thing with him and he suggested I consider one or two Tesla Power Walls (Tesla was NOT involved with the solar installation)....See Morecmm6797
