I can never figure out how to do that, Jesse. Sorry!
no worries -- you can't reblog right to the Good Stuff, I don't think.
It's true that the electric oven is shockingly right on the money wrt the times listed in recipes, which is totally new to me -- my last oven door didn't even close all the way, so everything was a crap shoot. but i still hate the flat stovetop.
Wait, certain types of pots and pans don't work on glass-topped stoves? Seriously? How's that?
I wonder if these could be induction? Magnetic induction burners induce heat in steel pots. Non-ferrous pots and pans never heat on induction stove tops. But glass tops in general, new to me too.
I think my ideal stove/oven combo would be gas burners, but an electric oven. Induction burners I think I could live with.
I have a flat stovetop and all my pots and pans from my previous electric oven work just fine. I didn't have a wok then either, because I figure they only work right with flame.
There are glass-topped stoves that have a heating element under a layer of glass so everything is sealed and easy to clean - those are fine with normal pots and pans. And then there are glass-topped stoves that do some kind of magical magnetic induction woo, that stay cool until they heat up instantly, and are run by invisible elves. Those only work with steel or iron, since aluminum/pyrex/copper/other materials won't make the right kind of connection to make the elves do their thing.
Me, I'm all about the gas. It was pretty much reason #1 to buy a goddamn house already.
My parents have a glass-topped electric stove. I HATE IT LIKE BURNING.
Such a terrible stove to cook on, which doesn't bother them because the extent of Dad's cooking is the occasional pot of spaghetti.
man, i wish i had magnetic elves in my kitchen. i am getting better at the regular electric stove, though.
Gas is the only way to cook (right).
For stove top, maybe. Gas ovens suck big time, uneven heating, can't predict how long anything will take to cook.
It is for this reason that I bought a dual-fuel stove (gas range, electric oven) even though it meant heavy scrimping elsewhere in the household budget. I love cooking on that thing.
I'm wearing a magnetic elf on my head right now and....no wait...maybe it was, a magnetic elf bit my sister?....don't have a sister...hmmmm....a magnetic elf, some cilantro, and a spork walk into a bar.

Was one of them carrying a root?
