Can induction cooktop be installed above two side by side ovens?
Comments (2)repac, yes it can be done, and we did it, eleven years ago, and it continues to work today. But our preplanning involved reseach into the vertical dimensions and the required clearances of the units that we installed. If you commit to the brands and models first, you may find that you lack sufficient vertical clearance. The depth (under counter) of currently available induction cooktops ranges from about 2 inches in a few models to as much as 18 inches in one model. Also, it happens that the thinnest, most pancake-like, induction cooktop (the LG LCE30845) vents above the counter (at the rear) instead of (as is more common) into the space under the cooktop, and so requires minimal clearance above the top of the oven. The LG is only 30" wide, however, so you would need two of them to fill your 60" wide space. Not surprisingly, there are also large dimensional differences among models of wall oven. We chose a Bosch HBL645A UC (since replaced in the Bosch line-up) specifically because it had a compact vertical dimension, and even allowed us to install a shallow storage drawer (for unused oven racks, etc.) under the oven....See MoreCooktops: Induction + gas, side by side
Comments (14)I would think that most people who are prepared to drop $1,200-$2,400 for a residential induction wok are doing so not because it is the less expensive alternative to gas, so when they decide to go that route they're probably at the point that they know that they want to do it. I've canned on induction. Maybe a new pressure canner would make more sense. You have? What brand of pressure canner do you use? Here's the one I use. All the threads that I've read (I don't claim to have read every thread) follow the basic script, like this one where the conclusion was that no pressure canners of any significance works on induction tops. My pressure canner weighs 39 lbs empty and a whole LOT more when full and the manufacturer warned against using on ceramic cooktops due to likelihood of cracking the ceramic surface, so I imagine that the same concern would apply to the surface treatment of an induction top, would it not? Do you have that worry when you use your pressure canner on your induction cooktop? Hollysprings, I can more than just once a year. I did plan on doing this in an outside kitchen but as I thought about it the hassle of moving all the canning gear outside, the movement of the food from the prep zone to the outside, the need to be in proximity while the canning is taking place, all soured me on using an outside kitchen as a permanent location for canning - I want the option of working in the kitchen while still reserving the option to do this task outside if my mood or other circumstances warrant....See MoreTwo 24' kitchen sinks side by side
Comments (22)Judy, Here's my 2 bits worth from another dish drainer person! I always had a huge dish drainer (so big that it was fairly difficult to 'hide it' under the sink when I knew company was coming). In fact, my original plans for my kitchen included getting runnels as I just assumed I'd have the dish drainer on the counter (though maybe upgraded to a 'prettier' one) in the new kitchen. But, with my new bigger, deeper sink ( I have 2/3, 1/3- 10" deep with granite), I hand wash in the bigger one and keep a new smaller dish drainer in the smaller sink. Huge huge improvement in how my kitchen looks, and because the DD is smaller, I put the dishes away sooner. Also, with a new tall tub DW I can fit more dishes/pots in there, so don't have to hand wash quite so many things. I think some people are not hand washers, don't know how that can be :>), but when I talked to my Mom about runnels, she had no idea what I was talking about, and when I explained, had no idea why I would need them! :>) So, different things for different folks. But, I would guess that I would be like Cleo, if I had more space for dishes to dry in, it would just be filled up with more dishes. I really really prefer my new setup, with enough room to put those few things I have to dry, but small enough that it forces me to put things away sooner. (AND, being in the sink, hidden from view) No more ugly plastic drainer on the counter- no need for runnels (which are expensive!!) Yeah!...See MoreSurvey: Use of countertop/prep space on either side of cooktop?
Comments (53)Remodelfla, Just a question, where is your microwave or will you have one? I agree with bmorepanic about the structure of the plumbing being really important to the ability to have trash under the cabinet or not. Also, look for sinks that have the drain towards the back and to one side (Franke GNX110-28 comes to mind). If you have a 12" cabinet on one side of the sink, you can use that for trash cans. If you go down to an 18" DW, that can go up to an 18" cabinet for a large trash pullout. Regarding the height of the prep area, you can always adjust the height by using adjustable legs. I have included a link below, you will have to figure out how to integrate this into your baking center. This gives you flexibility in leveling the cabinet and also changing the height as you go along! Good luck! Here is a link that might be useful: Some example of levelers...See Morekaseki
