I made a TV show Sample and I need real feedback
Comments (23)Hi Patti. I love the idea and concept behind your show. I realize this was just a "pilot" attempt, and perhaps you wanted to show a range of some of the things the show would like to cover, but I felt it was way too light on substance. Now, if you were to do one show with just two subjects, and maybe a third, small segment on something quick - tips, viewer ideas, etc., that would be a lot more interesting and informative. Again, I'm guessing that here you wanted to show a range of subjects and that when/if you do a true episode, it would indeed be more substantial. I would also love to see more of your background - I found myself wanting to see your house, your yard, your neighborhood - since it deals with sustainable urban agriculture, I wanted to see your surroundings to get a feel for exactly what situation you were in, and to be able to adapt that to mine. Again, this is something that perhaps you are planning on doing in any future shows. I thought you had a very good on-screen presence, good speaking, good voice projection and liveliness - you seem quite comfortable in front of a camera. Best of luck to you. I'll be keeping an eye out for you! Dee...See MoreAnybody own a Morice range french cooker? Need feedback
Comments (9)I have one I bought used a few years back. Its really a piece of art! It really is the best cooking residential stove I have ever used. The one I have is the Grand V...something, its 63" long. A few things to consider: They are insanely heavy! Make sure your floor can support the weight. It took 6-7 guys to move mine off of the truck. The thick metal that makes them so heavy is also what makes the units cook so even and nice. the cast iron plates hold the heat very well. The electric needs to be 220 volt even if its a gas unit which is strange. At least on mine. Cosmetic parts are becoming hard to find. The guts(valves, burners, and tech parts) are still available from a company in France. If you need the email I could dig it up. Here is a picture of the one I have before we had it installed. I bought it off craigslist for $150.00... yes one hundred fifty dollars. They guy was going to scrap it. It had been donated to a church by a wealthy family and the ladies in the church kitchen/rec hall couldn't figure out how to use the european gas 1 thru 6 settings instead of 350 or 425 degree settings. Good for me Best of luck and let me know if you need anything, Tom...See MoreGE gas Range or Frigidaire gas Range
Comments (8)I don't have gas, but I have had very good experiences with GE cooking products in general...so good that when I remodeled I went with them again...GE Profile. In particular, my electric smoothtop range w/convection oven from the old kitchen (purchased in 1995) was in such pristine condition that when we donated it to our church for a family in need, they couldn't believe it wasn't new! We had no problems with it in the 13 years we used it...and I loved the convection oven! Originally, I was going to get the GE Profile range w/warming drawer for the remodel but when we found room for wall ovens I switched to a GE Profile electric cooktop & GE Profile Trivection Double Ovens...the cooktop is basic & works fine, but I absolutely love the ovens, especially the upper Trivection (speedcook) oven! (We also got a GE Profile Warming Drawer...a basic model, nothing fancy and it's been great as well!) As to whether you'll use the WD, you may be surprised how often you use it once you have it!...See MoreFeedback on 30" Gas Ranges
Comments (2)While there may be some differences in oven insulation between brands and heat lost into your kitchen all gas ovens need to vent the combustion air and that is normally into your kitchen. In California at least in the past I believe gas range ovens had a metal exhaust pipe to the exterior.The partial solution may be to constantly run exhaust hood on low or higher whenever baking assuming it vents to the exterior. I hope someone has a usage experience with a well insulated oven to guide your selection. As well, your smaller condo kitchen may be amplifying the effect of the lost oven heat....See MoreTC Hudson
