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.

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/how-do-you-clean-your-oven-do-you-use-the-self-cleaning-feature#post-1067851 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 15:09:06 +0000 Mrsbells 1067851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a gas oven, we've been here for only a few months and I've never had to clean it yet.

It pops off more easily when you go after it with a scrubber, even though it's not as easy as cleaning up the dust from the self-clean ones. Just ventilate well and be very careful because it's still really really hot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-clean-your-oven-do-you-use-the-self-cleaning-feature#post-1067820 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 14:59:57 +0000 MapleMoose 1067820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use the self-clean feature to clean my oven 1-2 times a year. I wait for a nice day when I can open the windows and air things out. In between self-cleanings I scrub with a scrubber sponge and elbow grease. I try to get stuff off soon after it spills so it's easier to clean </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-clean-your-oven-do-you-use-the-self-cleaning-feature#post-1067702 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 14:21:45 +0000 avivoca 1067702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never cleaned my oven. It's disgusting, but it came with our house so it's the previous owner's fault.

You've just reminded me that I need to clean the oven before we move out of our apartment next month. I hate cleaning the oven.

Only because there was so much stuff in the bottom that it caught on fire while baking bread!</p> <p>Ours was pretty bad and I ended up having to use a razor to get most of it off, not sure if you are supposed to do that or not but our oven looks awesome now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-clean-your-oven-do-you-use-the-self-cleaning-feature#post-1067631 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 13:56:49 +0000 Vegmama 1067631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're supposed to clean your oven?!? ;) </p> <p>We rarely use the oven ...
