I think they all look fine together. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-range-dual-fuel-or-double-oven#post-2763834 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 11:59:15 +0000 PawPrints 2763834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh one other question - has anybody mixed stainless appliances with black stainless? I like the look of a black stainless range but not totally sure how it would look with our stainless fridge/sink/dishwasher, which are all on the opposite side of the kitchen. I feel like it would look okay; I approve of mixing materials in general (we have a rustic light-wood china cabinet next to an espresso dining table). Crazy that black stainless costs an extra $100 more than silver stainless though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-range-dual-fuel-or-double-oven#post-2763833 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 11:57:20 +0000 PawPrints 2763833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we are going to go with double oven.

I never really use more than three pots at once, so we didn't need this many, but I can be nice to spread out if two of us are cooking on burners at once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-range-dual-fuel-or-double-oven#post-2763525 Mon, 31 Jul 2017 13:00:47 +0000 looch 2763525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: I have a double oven range and I still use it for storage...it's just in the oven, not the drawer. I mainly use the top one (we're only a family of 3 and I don't bake much).</p> <p>Truthfully, I don't cook complicated things. I can cook on gas or electric and most of the time, I'll tell you I prefer gas even though I secretly love the electric cooktop for ease of keeping it clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-range-dual-fuel-or-double-oven#post-2763522 Mon, 31 Jul 2017 12:59:20 +0000 PawPrints 2763522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: Most of the options I've been looking at have the griddle (/wok burner) in the center as the fifth burner. We do cook a lot. What's a double range? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-range-dual-fuel-or-double-oven#post-2763521 Mon, 31 Jul 2017 12:57:01 +0000 PinkElephant 2763521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a double oven, double range, and grill + griddle. It is game changing if you love to cook. The double oven is the feature I'd pick if you can only choose one, based on the convenience of being able to use one for cooking and one for baking/warming without blending flavors, or just cooking at two different temperatures at once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-range-dual-fuel-or-double-oven#post-2763515 Mon, 31 Jul 2017 12:42:09 +0000 PawPrints 2763515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alphagam84: @sillymilly: Mind sharing which one you have?</p> <p>I'm imagining a dual oven would be useful for us primarily because we would only need to use one oven the vast majority of the time, and therefore could use less gas (and heat the house less). But we are one of those families that uses our warming drawer to store cookie sheets, so we'd need to find a cabinet to move those into. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-range-dual-fuel-or-double-oven#post-2763507 Mon, 31 Jul 2017 12:30:22 +0000 MyBelle 2763507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a range similar to this one (ours is a slightly older model) and love it. The double ovens are great during the holidays when we're hosting everyone and need to bake a lot of side dishes.</p> <p><a href="http://www.homedepot.com/p/LG-Electronics-6-9-cu-ft-Double-Oven-Gas-Range-with-ProBake-Convection-Oven-and-EasyClean-in-Stainless-Steel-LDG4311ST/206824919" rel="nofollow">http://www.homedepot.com/p/LG-Electronics-6-9-cu-ft-Double-Oven-Gas-Range-with-ProBake-Convection-Oven-and-EasyClean-in-Stainless-Steel-LDG4311ST/206824919</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-range-dual-fuel-or-double-oven#post-2763493 Mon, 31 Jul 2017 12:10:48 +0000 sillymilly 2763493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a dual fuel range with a baking drawer on the bottom and I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-range-dual-fuel-or-double-oven#post-2763485 Mon, 31 Jul 2017 11:57:45 +0000 alphagam84 2763485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a double oven and I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-range-dual-fuel-or-double-oven#post-2763475 Mon, 31 Jul 2017 11:30:03 +0000 PawPrints 2763475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions on my other thread. We put some thought into this over the weekend and I'm trying to decide whether we want our new gas range/oven to be double-oven or dual-fuel. We want to stick under $2K so can't really do both. I'm torn. If we did double oven we'd probably go with one that has true convection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-kitchen-gas-vs-induction-cooking#post-2635806 Wed, 12 Oct 2016 16:19:48 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2635806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you guys SO much!<br /> DH went from 100% gas, to being totally sold on the Bosh induction cooktop, and we haven't even tested it out yet. I was a little nervous about losing gas (and gaggenau is not in our price range), but then I remembered that we live in Texas so I can use our gas grill year-round.<br /> We're getting to have our own mini-cooking class at the store to test out induction, since we've never used it before, but I can't imagine not liking it. Thank you all!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-kitchen-gas-vs-induction-cooking#post-2634612 Mon, 10 Oct 2016 07:05:48 +0000 erinbaderin 2634612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLonghorn: You definitely can use nonstick pans with induction, just maybe not the ones you already have. I had to buy a new one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-kitchen-gas-vs-induction-cooking#post-2634610 Mon, 10 Oct 2016 06:43:21 +0000 SweetiePie 2634610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLonghorn: Ahhhh ok now I know who you are ;-)</p> <p>So actually DS has just never really touched the knobs. We just made sure from the beginning we taught that they were off limits and "danger". He just doesn't even bother. We actually had a professional baby proofer come when he was much younger and he told us how to handle it and said it wasn't a big deal if we tackled it properly and he was right. </p> <p>And yes, it's nice for an NYC kitchen BUT if you saw the rest of the kitchen (size) and my cabinet storage you'd pity me again. Haha. It's beautiful but small and storage is horrendous. And my oven is so small I can only do 1 cookie sheet at a time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-kitchen-gas-vs-induction-cooking#post-2634591 Sun, 09 Oct 2016 22:29:17 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2634591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: I thought you were renting in NYC, so I'm shocked and jealous of your kitchen! We had a mini sized oven in ours, and couldn't fit most of my baking stuff inside....</p> <p>How do you feel about/deal with/childproof the knobs on the front of the counter? It might actually be a dealbreaker for DH.... I know he will worry about them being so easily accessible to DS.

Here's a pic. It's 2 sets of 2 gas burners that have a cover. And 1 big induction burner. </p> [attach=3764/16/oet8s7.600x450.IMG_9264.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-kitchen-gas-vs-induction-cooking#post-2634571 Sun, 09 Oct 2016 21:31:54 +0000 SweetiePie 2634571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLonghorn: So I'm sure you can get nonstick pans that work on induction. I guess I wasn't very clear. What I meant is that none of the nonstick pans I have (and I have a whole nice set of calphalon I got for my wedding) work on induction and I wouldn't want to have to go buy all new pans if I had induction only.</p> <p>ETA: but I guess if this is your forever home then that might be a small price to pay. We live in NYC and rent in a condo building. So def not our forever home and why I myself wouldn't want to change all my pans if they had induction only. But that's me and my situation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-kitchen-gas-vs-induction-cooking#post-2634563 Sun, 09 Oct 2016 21:18:05 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2634563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLonghorn: you'll love them!

Do you have the vario 400 series? I am so intreigued with the idea of having both...I hadn't considered that. I know you need magnetic pots/pans with induction but didn't realize I couldn't use nonstick with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-kitchen-gas-vs-induction-cooking#post-2631179 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 15:18:58 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2631179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: it is hot but cools pretty quickly after a pan comes off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-kitchen-gas-vs-induction-cooking#post-2631173 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 15:12:33 +0000 looch 2631173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally don't cook enough that it makes a big difference what kind of range I have, but one thing that I am curious about induction is the cooktop...does it remain hot to the touch or is it cool even while it's cooking? I apologize for not knowing better, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-kitchen-gas-vs-induction-cooking#post-2631135 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 14:27:34 +0000 regberadaisy 2631135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: andddd were Asian.

I was going to mention what @erinbaderin said though, some pots don't work on induction. I have a friend with an induction stove who realized that they were going to need to start heating up their eyebrow wax pot on the outdoor grill! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-kitchen-gas-vs-induction-cooking#post-2630860 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 10:17:57 +0000 snowjewelz 2630860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH grew up in a restaurant, so to him, gas is the only way to cook :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-kitchen-gas-vs-induction-cooking#post-2630639 Sun, 02 Oct 2016 18:51:44 +0000 SweetiePie 2630639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 4 gas burners and one induction. It's all built in gaggenau. I LOOOOVE the induction top. I boil water for pasta/steaming veggies/etc in less than 2 mins, maybe even a minute. I honestly can't even remember what it's like to wait for water to boil.<br /> But I also like nonstick pans so I tend to do cooking outside of boiling water on the gas burners with nonstick pans. So that would be my major con for induction. </p>
