Would a Thermador and KA kitchen be an odd combination?
Comments (6)Thanks to all who posted. In past homes, we've had Meile ovens/dishwasher and SZ/Wolf fridge, cooktop and oven, but in our temporary rental place, I've made some great meals using new basic Maytag models. So, I'm thinking that saving a bit of money will still give me lots to play with in the kitchen. I'm looking at either all Thermador, all KA, or a combination of the two, thinking that it's a compromise among functionality, looks and durability. The 36" freezer-bottom Thermador fridge is appealing, but would a KA store my food just as well? It's a toss-up between the 36" Thermador induction or gas cooktop, as I really like to cook--I've always cooked using gas before. The wall oven would be the same brand as the cooktop as it is going underneath. As for the dishwasher, Thermador has the promotion on, giving me a free dishwasher and hood fan if I go with everything. I just can't decide. The promotions are a bit like shopping for a mattress: comparisons are almost impossible. My question is for those who have responded: which models did you end up purchasing and how have they worked so far?...See MoreDo you cook all food using convection? do you modify recipe times
Comments (10)I took a little course put on by the Wolf distributor here ... it was very informational. They didn't recommend using straight convection for anything that has much of a side on the pan, because the side blocks the air circulation, which is how the food is being cooked, so the top will cook faster than the inside. But it's fine to use convection with cookie sheets and broiler pans, or at least try to use the lowest side available. Also, don't cover food if you're using convection. They recommended convection bake for pies, not straight convection. And, if you are using straight convection, flavors will not transfer (eg, it's okay to bake a tray of bacon-wrapped scallops on one rack and cookies on another). They also said to turn down heat 25 degrees and reduce time 20 to 25 percent with convection, which matches what I've heard elsewhere. Here is the percentage of oven element used for each mode (this is for Wolf) Bake stone = 40% broil, 60% stone Bake = 10% broil, 90% bake (the hidden element on bottom) Convection bake = 90% fan, 10% bake Broil = 100% broil Convection broil = 100% broil, 100% fans Roast = 25% broil, 75% bake Convection roast = 25% broil, 75% fans Convection = 100% fans...See MoreOdd green oil floating on food
Comments (18)When I lived in Austin the vent from my stove was just a fan that blew air through a tube and outside through a hole in the wall. When I lived in Culver City, the tube went straight up through the roof, and so it was more likely for things to fall down from it. I checked it often to make sure it was clean. Now I have a vent that is part of a built-in microwave, and I'm not sure how to maintain it. I don't use it often because I keep the kitchen windows open most of the time. Yesterday we changed the air filter for the central heating, and we had not done that for three years, but it did not seem very dirty at all. I guess we have clean air in the attic.

Comments (3)I think that looks so good. My Mom would make Angel food cake with 7 minute frosting and that is what I always asked for on my birthday. I will have to try your peppermint angel food cake with 7 minute frosting. Thanks for sharing....See More- 7 years ago
