Outdoor Gas Grills, KitchenAid vs. Lynx
Comments (13)Today's mail brought the Frontgate catalog, which featured their professional grill. It looks capable and seems nicely priced at $2,299. I wish I could see one locally, as there's no way I'd make such a major purchase sight unseen. Is anyone here familiar with this grill? Does anyone know who makes it? I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it's another product of the Lynx factory.

Comments (20)I just spent a month in an English rental house, with an induction cooktop - definitely NOT high end appliances, just considered standard, basic. However, I found it immensely frustrating to use, compared to gas, because of the controls (which - along with cost - was the reason I didn't want one in my US kitchen). Gas: simple knob: I can watch the flame as I adjust the knob, and know precisely how it's doing. All the induction cooktops I saw, including this rental one, use touch-sensitive controls. For me, they just aren't 'sensitive' enough. They automatically powerered on to '5' (or '9' on some models) and you then have to 'touch' them up or down to wherever you want. So, I have to watch the stupid light display, instead of my cooking. And if I overshoot, I have to fiddle around all over again. I had wondered whether I'd get better at it with practice, but after a month, cooking daily, it was still a pain for me (and my DH) to use. I love the idea of induction, and if I had to go back to electric, I would have one - provided it had knobs (I think the Viking one does). With a gas supply - there's no contest. Gas every time. (Incidentally, natural gas in parts of Europe is fairly cheap. It's because natural gas is found in the North Sea and piped to both the UK and Scandanavia. Not dependent on Eastern Europe at all.)...See MoreKitchenaid cooktop KGCU467VSS vs Wolf cooktop CG365P/S comparison
Comments (4)We have the 36" Wolf with 4 burners and a griddle. We LOVE it and use the griddle everyday - usually at least twice a day. It is one of my favorite things in the remodel. I love the temp controls for the burners. I love everything about it. I don't have experience with the KA so no help there....See MoreKitchenaid cooktop KGCU467VSS vs Wolf cooktop CG365P/S comparison
