still can't decide on a pro-style range!
Comments (38)We have a Viking with 15K BTU burners and were hoping to get a set-up performance wise from that, in the remodel for our vacation house. Today, we managed to see the Capital side by side with the Viking we own. Before that, we told the salesman and he said that the Capital was not a step-up. Surprised, I told him we had heard otherwise. So he takes me to their test kitchen and attempts to turn on the Capital. The first burner would not light up and after smelling gas, he stops trying to light that one. He then started another which after a couple of clicks, lit up. I was surprised how small the flame was. And how it stayed in the outside circle. He then started our Viking cooktop next to it and it was in another class altogether! I was amazed. Note that he had a ton of Capital equipment on the floor so this is not something they try to shy away from. So looks like we are kind of stuck as we wanted a large griddle and Viking and Capital are the ones that make it (in the highly recommended category), and Bluestar does not. So we are going to augment the cooktop with Induction at this point to get the higher temps....See MoreDo you have a toaster oven that toasts quickly?
Comments (4)I'm under the impression that toaster ovens in general take longer to "toast" than a regular toaster. I was surprised how long it took when I bought my first toaster oven earlier this summer. Asking around, I found it was normal. Monica...See MoreReason I won't make Texas cheese toast anymore
Comments (22)Thanks, Glenda for showcasing something I can do quickly using a product from the freezer. My way of life although I promised myself to incorporate some of the KT recipes in my cooking. Anyone could have a great restaurant just using these recipes with proper credit given to the KTers. Raven, you astound me with the number of recipes you have and your product knowledge of everything due to your research.. When do you sleep? I appreciate that you type so much out to customize your post even though your hands are so arthritic. Thanks, again Glenda. Hope I can find it here in VA. I always forget where you all live....See MoreDrawers can't clear wall ovens-help
Comments (32)Lee....Before you agree to anything, be sure someone looks at the appliance specs or appliance and find out how far the wall ovens stick out from the face of the oven cabinet. Wall ovens differ in how much sticks out. Just be sure they are not using a 'generic' measurement. If they've already done that, great. Once that has been established, then look at the options presented. I don't think you should settle for only reducing the drawer front by 3/4" if indeed that would be enough. The cabinet company sounds like they are trying to find the best solution to 'their' problem, not yours. You paid for a properly functioning drawer cabinet, I would ask for that drawer cabinet to be remade to be fully functional for all drawers that will clear the wall oven with a wider filler to accommodate. There's nothing wrong with drawers clearing by 1/4" just as long as they clear. There is one possible draw back by reducing the width of the entire cabinet. If the cabinet company only has standard width cabinets and not able to be customized, the only option available is the next standard width down which might be 3" narrower than present. As for increasing the depth of cabinet left of wall oven; they only thing I have a concern about if you do that is if your counter top has been made yet or not? If not then it wouldn't matter unless you are going with a post formed plastic laminate with integrated back splash. These are typically 25 1/2" deep and therefore your overhang would differ if you increased that cabinet depth. The only benefit you would get by doing that is not having as wide a filler to the adjoining 3 drawer cabinet. If you decided to do that, the cabinet company will probably just pull that cabinet off the wall to the wall oven face. If you wanted it a different depth, you would be on the hook for the cost....See Morecat_mom
