Hi Dave,
DD> the burners. I'll bet your Dad's was white w/black accents. No
DD> "avocago" or "harvest gold" in those days.
RH> Yes, it was white but I don't remember any accents. It was the stove I
RH> learned to cook on.
DD> Maybe I was making the painting of the undersides of the stove's
DD> panels with black enamel and allowing it to show at the seams sound
DD> more elegant than it was. Bv)=
Sounds logical.
RH> We had a wall oven in our quarters on Fort Hood, TX. Stove top was gas,
RH> set on a flat surface with, as I recall, counter space on both sides. I
RH> really liked the wall oven, thought if we ever built a house, I'd do
RH> that. OTOH, our older daughter has one in her house--they had it custom
RH> built--but she's not really that happy with it.
DD> Does she have a specific complaint about missing features? Or perhaps
DD> she's just not a baker
She is somewhat of a baker. Top oven is actually a microwave. Main
complaint about the regular ove is that it takes a long time to preheat
and baking takes longer than usual time for most things.
DD> The dual oven set-up I had at the tin can was nice. I catered
DD> Thanksgiving dinner one year and it was as near perfect as I could
DD> have wished. Did the bird in the big (bottom) oven and the sides in
DD> the smaller upper unit.
DD> Did this on the cook-top using goose fat from the roasing bird ....
Sounds like you made good use of all the cooking surfaces. I do remember
that one year while we were in AZ, my sister roasted (not smoked) her
Thanksgiving turkey on the outside gas grill. IIRC, that was one time
when she was about to throw out the carcasse after the meal, with a lot
of meat still on it (she didn't like dealing with leftovers). I asked if
I could take the carcasse home with us (we'd brought up a cooler with
pumkin pies and other goodies in it), got it and made soup with it.
