We bought a 36" gas range from Kucht three years ago and it has needed repair every year since (starting immediately after installation). Kucht used to send a tech to make the repairs, but now asks you to make the repairs yourself with the guidance of their tech via video call if needed. Alternatively, you can wait several weeks for a tech to come to your home. Inconsistent temperature control is always the precursor to a part failure in our case. To be honest, I don't hate making the repairs - it's actually kind of intersting. And the range is still under the full, five-year warranty which was what drew me to Kucht in the first place. But I worry about the cost of maintaining the range after the warranty expires. I think we can assume that we'll continue to have issues and need to be prepared to pay for parts (and maybe labor) for the life of the range. All things considered, I wouldn't buy a Kucht next time around.

I am generally not a big fan of non-stick coatings. Properly seasoned bare metal cookware will get perfectly non-stick as well. But admittedly, that takes both initial and ongoing effort. Not a lot effort. But a few seconds of work each time you clean it (i.e. wipe with a thin coating of oil and never store wet). Also, with non-stick coatings you can get away with poor technique, whereas with metal surfaces you need to pay at least some attention to temperature management. You should always add your ingredients to a hot griddle. If it gets too cold, it won't be non-stick. Takes a while to learn, but will become second nature soon enough. On the upside, metal surfaces can be used with metal tools and won't get damaged by surface scratches. And they also are more versatile. You can cook high-heat foods (e.g. steak) on a metal surface. But Teflon based coatings need to be carefully handled and should never get too hot. Teflon starts degrading at surprisingly low temperatures. It's perfectly okay for making pancakes, but don't use it to fry meat, hashbrowns, vegetables, ... The damage won't be immediately obvious, but it starts as soon as you overheat the griddle. As for the choice of metal, cast iron and carbon steel is a little easier to season. Aluminum does accept seasoning, but it takes a little longer to get there. It handles a little differently from iron when cooking and that might sway your decision. I also hear good things about chrome plating, but I haven't used that myself. The nice thing with overlay griddles is that you can buy more than one. If you find you aren't happy with a particular material, you can always revisit that decision without horribly breaking the bank. A built-in griddle doesn't usually give you that option.

My husband and I are both in the 1% who prefer a gas cooktop. We have the Cafe 6 burner and it works fine now after about 4 service calls and a trip by the gas company after it was installed. I think all higher end ranges have some degree of problems that have to be worked out - difficulties getting a service rep out is a real thing. We like ours now but it was a pain in the butt to get it working right. I'm still not 100% sure it always does. Good luck.

Induction is the favored choice of many real chefs. 90% efficient at converting energy into heated food. Instantly adjustable, and simple to clean. Since you don't waste 60% of your therms into the air like natural gas (40% overall efficiency) the kitchen is much cooler and requires far less ventilation. That reduces the load on your heating/cooling system in addition to making the house more consistently comfortable. Favorites: Miele, gaggenau, Electrolux. In my spare time, I enjoy reading blogs and articles on a wide variety of topics, from music and movies to online games. I really love the gaming industry and everything that is connected with it is all I am leading to. Now in our world, there is a very large selection of games and sometimes the question arises: what to play? So I periodically have such a question when the old games have already been passed but I want something new, for the benefit of my friend recently threw me a very interesting article about the game trends of 2021 have a peek at this site from the article itself, I emphasized a lot of useful information about new genres of games that I had previously I haven’t tried or heard yet, and of course about how the development of the gaming industry is going now, what is new at the moment on the market and for those who like to ponder about the times when the development of games was just beginning ... I definitely advise you to read it, since I have not read anything so interesting and entertaining for a long time! And tell me which mobile games do you like to play or are you currently playing?
