Capital Culinarian owners, post reviews,photos of your new range!
Comments (154)I've had my rangetop for over a year and I love the burners; but there are some problems. The simmer is a joke even after it was adjusted. I can bring water to a boil on simmer! So I just push the pot off to the side. Does anyone know if they made a fix for this? The other problem is the griddle. the sides are cold and the middle hot, so cooking pancakes or anything else on it means waiting till the middle is almost burned before you turn turn the pancake around to cook it evenly. Is there a fix for this or do I just have to deal with a bad design on both the simmer and burners? The simmer should have been designed to only light the center part of the burner. Did they even test this before they put it on the market?? I hope Trevor or someone else who is aware of this has some answers. I know that a year ago there was talk of a fix and never heard back about it. If nothing else they should make an iron plate to put over a burner so you can put something on a true simmer. My old Wolf burners also had a couple of heat rings, and on simmer only the middle ring was employed. For as much as I love the burners on this range top, if I had to do it over again with the problem with the simmer and the griddle (which also sticks by the way which my Wolf didn't), I would buy the Wolf range top. Capital Culinaria has a chance to really fix their product and I hope they do. The materials used are of a high caliber and those burners are to die for if they could get that simmer issue re-designed, and the uneven heating on the griddle fixed....See MorePost your Nativity photo here ... got a favorite...here's mine!
Comments (77)Aputernut what are the origins of your kings? They are magnificent!! DH and I took a trip to Bronner's this fall. #1 on my bucket list was a visit!! I am sooo embarrassed and feel so STUPID. I was not interested in the video of the history as I knew it and saw much on Youtube, so avoided the "Program room". I did peak in at one point and it was dark as a show was going on...The next day, an hour outside of Frankenmuth I began reading their literature. To my GREAT frustration I discovered in that dark room are cases of 150+ nativities from 50+ different countries!! I have been begging and the Bronner's Facebook page has begun posting pictures of some of them. Unfortunately they do not post as many Creche sets as they do ornaments. But they are not for sale--they are a private collection so I get it. ANYWAY I added a camel and cow to my outdoor set..and I am scouring ebay for a few more shepherds..there are some older characters out there I would love to get my hands on!! We also went to one large spot light. DH is very into cutting our wattage use DOWN. I have a star hanging on the back of the light pole, and we have enough snow to cover the blue extension cord so it is all very nice IMHO...See MorePlease post photos of your baking area
Comments (35)And again, I'm mortified if you thought I was criticizing the "kitchenet"! Specifically, what I don't like about the other idea is that it does give you a lower counter while having appliance garages above, but you sacrifice all the lower cab storage that could have held the appliances just fine, and the mixer it given a place on the higher cab, not the lower one. Contrast this to your antique. The antique is, well, a whole lot cooler, but that aside, its pullout gives you more counter space while preserving the under-cabinet space. Much more practical, not so self-aware, and a much better usage of space. (I'm assuming that you'd want a pullout counter because you didn't have enough space for a separate low one--the "kitchenet" does this, but the tear sheet from the magazine does not.) Plus, the antique add a lot more in character, to me at least, than the table's "color punch" does. Is this going to be a pantry as well as a baking room? What does the main kitchen look like? I think my best prep counter surface is 34". I'm going to stand on some books for a while and see if I'm right.... (I also love Willow Decor's, but I love her whole house....)...See MorePlease post your photo kitchen island with stovetop?
Comments (16)LL, that copper hood would probably work really well and not seem to stick out too much too. I absolutely adore the last photo in that first link of yours even without an island. biochem, I understand. Sometimes I need to ask questions before answering too. I don't really know what my style is, since I am reusing the old cabinets and adding just a few more. I like a mix of painted and wood, love the old fashioned look, but also love traditional and a lot of the new trends. I would say that I dislike ultra sleek, and I'm not sure whether that is modern or contemporary. I want warmth and function. buehl, that kitchen isn't the finished plan, just an idea that Summerfield ran with based on my desire to have an open plan. I love the plan, but I don't know how well it will work with our limitations. The dw is actually on the other side of the sink and there is a pantry cabinet beside the dw. Summerfield drew in two new pantry units, one in front of the water heater closet, and those won't work, mainly because they close the opening to the laundry area, and that opening has to stay. I can't tell by the design if it's supposed to be an island that is all one level, or if the bar area is raised - or lowered, which might be nice. Right now there is a stacked oven unit which is to the left of the stove, across from the sink. To have an open kitchen, I'd have to get rid of that cabinet and put both ovens and the microwave under the stove counter, and then I'd lose more cabinet space. Since I'm already losing uppers over the island, I don't know if I can lose any more there. So it may have to be a peninsula instead of an island....See Moreroarah
