Mike, the advantages of sealed burners imo are easily outnumbered by their disadvantages, which I think is why they're rarely if ever seen in restaurants and other commercial businesses. Open burners allow natural airflow into the flame, which allows it to burn hotter and produce more focused...

Davey, do you recall the model or series (or approx. year) for that O'Keefe & Merritt? The more we look at them the more we like, especially since gorgeous vintage units are around $400. :) BTW while browsing we stumbled on this.. Haven't seen one in this condition in many years and was almost...

From what we can tell only a handful of 30" gas ranges are still being made with open burners. They fall at the two extremes of pricing, very low-end residential units (Frigidaire, Summit etc) and absurdly expensive commercial units (Capital, Blue Star etc). Nothing in between. It's making...

Thanks all for the pics and suggestions. These stoves are similar to what we're finding most everywhere. If they had open burners, something other than black/dark colors on the stovetop and better grates they'd be perfect. :) We did find what we're looking for, but so far only in brands like...

I'd love to see the same initative here in the States. Cutting off trade with China (or at least imposing stiff import tariffs, to begin repairing the damage caused by trillion dollar a year trade deficits with Communists) should do the trick. "Hot fill". Since when is unadulterated hot water...

Thanks. I know the market is always great for used appliances, it's one of the reasons we're leaning toward them. The stove is standard 30" width. The Brown site had a few interesting models.. Open burners etc, but no all-stainless models that we could find (black is dealkiller #3 for us, it's...

Looking to replace a gas stove/oven combo with another (gas stove/electric oven combo is also ok), but no matter where we look the current designs are virtually identical: thin and/or cheesy looking grates, sealed burners (dealbreaker #1 for us), plastic backpanels directly on the stovetop...

Even going back to the 1960's I don't recall a time when our garbage disposers didn't handle just about anything, short of metal. And sometimes even metal. :)

Make a better design of something, which is pretty much effortless these days thanks to China, and price will take care of itself. I think it's how Dyson got into the vacuum cleaner business and became a ten billion dollar company. Not long ago we paid almost this much for a Moccamaster, the...

If it means custom programmable W/D cycles, I take back everything I ever said about electronic control panels. :) Just the fact it's open source should be a cheering point. Possibilities are limitless as far as appliances go.

No they weren't. The father is emotionally disturbed imo.

My first thought was epoxy. If that doesn't work I'm not sure what would.

Looks great! The recipe is versatile, many other fruits (orange lemon berry etc) work too. For cherry cakes my mom usually used almond extract instead of vanilla. It augments the cherry flavor very well imo.

"I found I liked the outcome of the food better using a regular oven. " That's because microwave ovens do not cook food, they simply heat it. Or in other words try getting a nice flavorful crust on a steak cooked in a microwave. Won't happen without a separate attachment, and even then it's...

Aaaand the personal swipes begin. If it makes you feel better to believe it's entirely coincidental that every cancer map except one corresponds precisely to prevalence of processed food diets and microwave oven use around the world, I won't confuse you with further facts. Bottom line with our...

As far as I'm concerned it's natural selection hard at work. Pick a cancer, any cancer and compare incidence rates around the world: http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/cancer-info/cancerstats/world/incidence/#By

Would be nice imo if the Harvard Medical School mentioned microwaves destroy 97% of essential flavonoids in broccoli, and potatoes lose virtually all their nutritive value when microwaved at over 500W, etc. The ovens excel at a few things and I'm not in the camp that says they have no use, but...

My only problem with microwaves is that they destroy most vitamins in food, including A, all the B's and C. What remains after cooking are minerals and fiber. Once in a while it's not going to kill you, but people tend to take the path of least resistance, and some of our friends prepare...

For some reason I can't get this scene out of my head: Four LG execs are standing at a Samsung washer display at a trade show, one of them says, "Look at what suckers are paying $3500 for..." and then rips the plastic doors off the washers with his bare hands. Weak hinges indeed lol
