Hi Dave,
RH> haven't had one since. Our daughter Rachel has a combo built in oven
RH> and microwwave stack--says the oven takes a long time to preheat and
RH> the microwave isn't very high (tall) so she can't do a lot of things in
RH> it. Her cook top is gas.
DD> I never had an oven, gas or electric, that took very long to come to
DD> temperature. My curret nuker is above the stove. And I'm going to have
Must be the one she chose when the house was being built. I don't recall
the brand name. My microwave is above the range also; I think it's the
2nd one since we bought the house.
DD> to repair/replace it. I have to press in on the door to get it to
DD> "fire up". That's not a big deal but it's not going to fix itself. It
DD> was here when I bought the house - so, I have no idea how old it is.
DD> But I know
DD> the brand name is a "house" brand for Menard's. It's been a good,
DD> useful applioance for me.
Sounds like it has done well over the years. I think the longest we've
had one is about 9 years; they seem to go belly up before reaching 10.
DD> electric even though gas is easier/more convenient. Fossil fuels
being DD> a finite commodity - I'll have solar panels as my roofing RH>
material. Wind gonna blow and sun gonna shine.
RH> I'd rather have a gas stove but Steve keeps saying that it's bad
RH> for my asthma. Place isn't set up for it so we've got a smooth
RH> top range instead, with a combo convection/conventional oven.
DD> The oven in my range is just oven. I do have a countertop convection
DD> oven - which is just a big air-fryer. Given my limited counter space
DD> it lives in the pantry on a shelf until needed.
We've got a small toaster oven that's also a convection oven, sits on
the counter betwee stove and fridgee.
DD> My favourite use for sweet potatoes is deep fried.
RH> My favorite use for sweet potatoes is to pass them over to somebody
RH> who likes them. (G)
DD> They're not at the top of my favourites list, either. Bv)=
Interestingly tho, I do like Korean sweet potato noodles. They're one of
the base choices at the new Bibibop restaurant, as are honey citrus
kale, crispy romaine, purple rice, white rice and lemon turmeric rice.
DD> Most of the taters I eat are breakfast taters. Or potato chips. Bv)=
RH> I usually have a baked potato, and usually just half of it at a meal
RH> unless it's a really small one. Chips can be corn, black bean or
RH> veggie, rarely potato.
DD> I get the black bean chips once in a while. Seldom the corn chips -
DD> unless I need them as an ingredient. Veggie chip are left where they
DD> are found. Bv)= And tortilla chips, mostly, are flour.
