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 MoreHow can I build in a toaster oven and vent it outside?
Comments (34)First, the toaster oven installation directions should specify the required distances to the side and above for combustable materials. Having a vent hood above is certainly safer than having a cabinet above, which is the usual condition when the oven is placed on a counter. I would recommend against having any doors. Beyond the hazards described above, they probably could be argued to not conform to the typical use of a toaster oven. You are doing an entire kitchen, so a building permit, electrical permit, and plumbing permit are going to be required most places. It is for your own sake that the inspections are performed. The inspector will want to know that the installation is compliant with the manufacturer's instructions for both the toaster oven and the hood, so keep the instructions handy. BTW, I think a modest hood is a good idea. It should be deep enough to extend from the wall to a point beyond the toaster door when open if you want to catch most of the effluent that excapes when the door is opened. It may have to be some minimum height above the oven; check directions before buying. Town and municipality rules typically require permits for everything one does to a residence that relates to electrical, fire, or plumbing. This is usually ignored by homeowners for tiny jobs, such as changing a light switch, even though some may need oversight. Some localities may allow the homeowner to pull the permits for his own house. The inspectors will still expect conformance with all codes. kas...See MorePlease help us find a toaster oven
Comments (25)olchik, I looked at the Krups -- the FBC2 6-Slice Digital Convection Toaster Oven, right? It DOES look good. I didn't know about it -- didn't get reviewed by Consumer Reports; perhaps it didn't exist then. It has good reviews on Amazon.com. Anyone else know anything about it? Can anyone tell me (or refer me to some site that compares) the comparative inside space of the finalists: Cuisinart TOB-175 Black & Decker Infrawave T-Fal OT8085002 Avante Elite (not including the warmer) Krups FBC2 Or any other thoughts on them? You all are the greatest!...See MoreHelp ? Toaster Oven--do I need ?
Comments (19)Yup. I join the chorus of TO converts. For the past 30+ yrs I've relied on double ovens. In July, we started our whole house reno and I've been without a kitchen until now. I bought a GE TO enticed by its price and rotisserie, and have used it daily for the past six months for everything from filet mignon to pork roast to fab cornish hens and stuffing to broiled salmon. Six months, daily, except for a few dinners out. In hindsight, I should have bought a Breville but thought it may not be worth the additional expense for a few months usage. Had I known how much I would love a TO for its size, low energy use, etc. I may not have bought my MasterChef. LOL ! Now I'm seriously considering a Breville (based solely on its reviews and seemingly quality build -- not that I had problems with the GE but for long term usage maybe the Breville with its higher wattage, closer calibration and sturdier housing may last longer) for daily use in my new, almost complete! YAY!!!, kitchen. Go for it!...See Moreravencajun Zone 8b TX
