/ck/ - Food & Cooking

The interior is 1 cubic foot larger than my old one as well, so it's a bit bigger which is nice.

>not gas
It's shit.

>>14272093
Yeah, but my house isn't hooked up to the local gas company, so it would've been MINIMUM a thousand or two just to get a gas line installed.

My budget was $800.

Looks nice. How much did you pay?

>>14272131
$742 after taxes, delivery/install, and takeaway for the old one.
This is the one

Biggest selling point for me was the flat top (coming from a coil top), and it is 6.3 Cu ft. instead of 5.3 Cu ft. like my previous.

>>14272143
It's very nice. Electric ovens are more precise than gas, imo.

>>14272143
How much after tip?

>>14272169
Yeah, I admit I do prefer gas tops, but yes, electric ovens do tend to be more precise than gas.

Though the argument for "wet" heat vs "dry" heat can be made depending what you bake regularly.

>>14272178
I didn't tip, the boys who delivered didn't even speak english. I muddled my way through explaining where it was going with my highschool spanish.

>>14272169
>Electric ovens are more precise than gas

>>14272183
They are, gas provides a more humid baking environment though so it can be better for certain tasks.

>>14272183
I like gas for stove tops, but for ovens, the electric ones are more precise and they cool faster as well. I'm not a baker, though, so I can't comment on technical aspects of which type is better for breads or cakes.

>>14272377
Thanks for your input, but since no gas hookup, no gas stove. Sorry anon.

>>14272122
Assuming you really wanted gas, you could have just bought these compressed gas and hooked them up to a gas stove, heck, maybe even a wok burner

I would have bought this gas stove (with single serving oven), and then buy a big oven for stuff like roast pork, turkeys, etc.

>>14272541
pretty sure that's not legal here. Besides, I have a grill outside if I want to do some steaks or burgers.
>>14272549
No gas hookup in the house, so gas top simply wasn't happening. And the oven interior is def large enough for a big roast pic related >>14272066

The problem with 4chan is that you post "I made X" or "I bought X" and a bunch of autists start to make useless comments like "I would have made X differently" or "I would have bough Y".

Currently christening the oven with pizza bites.

>>14272709
came out great

>>14272618
That's an issue with cooking discussion everywhere, dumdum.
At least here we don't also get the "can you post a different version for people with allergies?"

>>14272061
I hope you have a lovely time cooking some nice meals with it, OP.

>>14272061
if you have to do electric, flat top is best top, ‘cause fuck coils
go, OP
now glhf with cleaning that fucker the first time you have a spillover

>>14272709
And so it begins. It'll never be clean again.

>>14272061
Why the fuck are the controls behind the plates? that way you have to reach over boiling, cooking, roasting whatever to adjust the heat. can't think of a worse design desu.

>>14272782
its how almost all of them in my price range were arranged.

>>14272780
The plan is to do it's steam clean function every week and do a full wipe down.

>>14272774
Yeah I've been reading up on care/cleaning instructions for the top, a lady who used to sell these things told me to use ceramic top cleaner every week or two to keep the top from going to shit.

Idk if it’s the age of my particular model, but OP this is the worst oven ever

>>14272801
Care to expand upon that?

Looks to be a different model judging control buttons and shit.

What model is yours?

>>14272822
Just checked, mine is older than OP’s. It has trouble maintaining a temperature, and doesn’t self-check the temp unless you turn it off and re-set a temp. For example if you pre-heat to 350deg, open it up for 10 seconds to put food in, then re close it, the temp will still read 350 despite being much lower. It also doesn’t re-heat to the original 350. Turning it off and re setting the temp to 350 after that shows the correct temp and the oven heats back up to where it should be.

I undercooked the shit out of stuff untill I figured out what was wrong with it

>>14272795
never saw something like this in europe.

I guess i'll try this out, be good to know if that is how it behaves. Not a huge deal.

>>14272854
Ye seems pretty ubiquitous in US electric range models.

>>14272865
Honestly just do a quick test to make sure it does or doesn’t do it. Set it to 350, leave the door open for a bit, then close the door. Check to see if the temp readout changes. You have a newer model so it’s probably A-okay

>>14272882
I'll give it a shot after i finish these pizza bites.

>>14272882
>>14272884
So I can confirm that it does what you're describing, but it DID seem aware that the door had been opened and the element kicked on once the door was closed, but the temp readout continued to say 350f despite the door having been left open for 30 secs or more.

hitting cancel and then bake again at 350f and it confirmed it was at 260f and was preheating back up to 350f.

So I think if I were to leave it to itself, it would heat back up to 350f, but it would probably take a couple minutes longer than canceling and setting it to preheat again, which very quickly brings it back up to temp.


Either way not a huge deal now that i'm aware of it.

>>14272182
>explaining where it was going
were they retarded? I'd have to assume it was going in the kitchen.

>>14272854
nanny state has to make sure you bungling retards don't burn yourselves doing simple tasks

>>14272782
its more so that little kids don't turn it on and burn your house down i imagine

>>14273262
Even prewar electric ovens had the controls in the front.

>>14273262
The opposite, your laws need to make sure your retarded kids don't burn themselves or blow up the house. Kinder fucking eggs are illegal in US of A, IKEA had to recall a drawer after McRetarded kids managed to kill themselves with it.

>>14273279
I wish more stoves had that old style aesthetic.

>>14272709
>that reflection

>>14272709
>>14272758
Cool. Looks like the oven can even cook stuff.

>>14274143
Can confirm, it does indeed cook.

I'll do a proper tenderloin roast in there tomorrow or the day after. See how that turns out.

>>14272709
lol

>>14274168
yup, i've got feet.

>>14274193
onlyfans link?

>>14272061
illuminati confirmed

>>14274240
doesn't exist sadly, i'm a straight white male with no interest in finding myself a sugar daddy. An onlyfans seems like a waste of my time if i'm honest.

>>14272709
oh lawd you got some clodhoppers, eh?
