'da broiler

While we’re on the subject of kitchen planning…

I’ve gone back and forth on the subject of double ovens. I had one in my first house and thought I hardly ever used both at the same time. So in my next house I just did a single. Then on many occasions in that house — I wished I had a double.

I tell you what — anything would be better than this piece of crap!

I want a double electric oven in this house. Gas cooktop. I like the dual fuel functionality.

When we bought this house, there was no oven at all and we bought the cheapest oven we could find because we knew we would be reconfiguring the whole kitchen at some point.
I thought I had at least purchased a dual fuel oven…I did not.

Who ever thought putting a broiler on the floor was a good idea? That’s what I’d like to know.

I guess there’s no other place to have a broiler on a gas oven. The flames are on the bottom of the oven and if you want to toast the top of something you have to put that something below the flames.

Whether I eventually get one or two electric wall ovens in this house — anything would be better than this.

Seriously!

Or you could just install a heated floor, broil all your food, and enjoy laying there all day long.

I love, love, love my double oven. I use just the tiny upper oven 90% of the time – it heats up FAST, so it’s an energy saver. And on those occasions I need both ovens, it’s priceless.

Wait, what? A broiler? I just uses that drawer to store pans in! That’s all I thought it was good for! lol

My grandmother, my mother, and myself have all had that that same exact style of gas oven. None of us have ever used the broiler for anything but a place to store cookie sheets. That’s 60+ years of unused broiler space. It gets so dusty in there, I can’t even bring myself to think about using it to cook in.
