3 1/2 I use 3 1/2 and heat the waffle iron open to prevent carbonized grease building on the grids.  Gluten free mixes nee help with things like lecitin, zanthan gum and I have good luck making my own flour with ground oatmeal.  It doesn't brown well because of the ingredient mix, not the...

The Once Hated We bought the 95 series Duet and hated it it for not balancing.  After the third call to repair had a heart to heart with Albert Lee who insisted Whirlpool replace the board on the 4th visit.  It works likes a champ if you like 2 hour cycle times and no water.

After All That I can't believe I didn't get a picture of the Trifle.  It was a hit and two groups are English giving it passing marks.  Made Orange Roses for Garnish.

Delayed Gratification I have not taken the camera with to me to the Westside house before so here are a few shots with a disappointing Trifle ending.  The Living room with territorial view of Bellevue and Lake Washington and the dumb globes.  Must be time to clean the lens. [this post was last...

Preheat Any electric rqange with a "preheat" setting because they don't bake evenly. D&M dishwashers.

Newer I had a GE Profile smooth top with convection, new in 2007. The single best range I have ever owned and my son and his family now use it. It's convection bake is superb and cleans flawlessly. I bought a new Maytag for the Bellevue house and I am not pleased with it's oven performance on...

2007 In China in 2007 when visiting friends in Shanghai they had a GE branded Haier that was quite amazing. It had a thick rigid agitator that looked like a surgilator, held a lot of clothes and did a good job. It was noisy but no worse than a GE top loader of American ilk in that time...

Environmental Impact I am totally in agreement with Sandy regarding the cost and environmental impact of cleaning ovens manually. Unless I have loaded the oven with junk store finds that are filthy there isn't an odor. Just a normal oven cleaning uses 2 hours and no smell or smoke.

More Recent Dadoes best describes the properties of the glass and stress in self cleaning ovens. The shattered glass stories I have been involved with all are ranges made in recent years. I dropped water on the glass door of my 90's GE drop in range in the days of "artisan" bread baking when...

Common Thread Following the Pyrex glass faults we are finding this happening in more than just Pyrex. Same thing happened to a friend with Kenmore (Frigidaire) range. She was roasting the turkey when the glass ruptured and showered the kitchen. The heat wasn't an issue because she was only...

Its Toast Even today the problem exists when a Whirlpool oven is wrapped in a prom dress to masquerade as Kitchenaid it cannot breathe and over heats in the cleaning cycle frying the board. A known defect, a refusal to redesign and arrogance continues to this day. I wouldn't buy a Kitchenaid...

Stop The Madness Not today but with in the year we need to find Sarah a large capacity machine that will help her keep up with her mountains of laundry the family creates. Her Kenmore is a smaller capacity model and when she visited this summer and used my old Maytag she was impressed with the...
