New stovetop == nice

[beth_leonard]

It's wonderful having friends who like to work with physical things. We (by "we" I mean robszewczyk.) finally intalled the new stovetop we bought back in early January because our old one was down to only one working burner. We still need to finish installing the ducting for the blower assembly, but it cooked dinner last night just fine.

I, I may be an engineer, but I do not work with messy things like physical objects. I do computers. Bits and programming. I am converting my babysitting co-op to a computerized method of tracking points. It's what I do.

I'm very happy to have a new stovetop, and I wonder if it will save us any on our electric bill. It seems to heat up very quickly. I know all the cooking snobs on my f-list will tell me gas is better, but gas wasn't a meaningful option, and according to Consumer Reports last time I looked, electric stovetops boiled water faster. Given my cooking abilities, boiling water is a very important skill for a stovetop.

We love our solid-surface electric. Hooray for relatively easy cleaning. And its performance has been plenty decent for anything I've attempted.

Performance has been very nice so far. It does stay warm for a long time after it's done and I'm still getting used to it, but cleanup is
very nice.

You're welcome.

I will see what I can do to get the remaining ducting elements for you. Thus far I struck out online (at least as far as the optimal solution) but next time I'm there I will get this thing finished.
