Mike, that looks absolutely wonderful. Cookbook picture perfect in my book. will ya use the cheese cycle on the Miele?

The Lasagna is perfect. I love the way the cheese squeaks between your teeth after its been browned. Tell me more about the Bosch range. It is very attractive and if I remember it has a brilliant blue oven interior. Pleased with it?

YUMMY !

No one in that houseold (or that/who is invited over) will be singing......

"Let's go Outback tonight!"

*waves* to our Aussie friends!
 
I have had the Bosch stove for 5 years now. I have had to replace the oven bake burner igniter 3 times. The igniter stays on when gas is flowing thru the burner. Not a good design but hey it works. I also have convection with the oven as well. Overall I love this stove.
I have not washed the pan yet Bob and when I do I usually use Pots and Pans cycle since thats my most powerful cycle heat wise and water pressure wise as well. The cheese cycle does OK but its more for plates and such that have cheese smeared on them.
 
~Not a good design but hey it works!

I have to disagree with you, SIR.

The ignitor ("glow coil") and the gas solenoid valve are wired in series. Each gets 60v (120v /2, because wiring in series DOES that...) And one will not operate if the other has an open circuit (basically the ignitor burns out). It is probably the simplest way (short of an energy-hog standing pilot light) to ensure "No ignition? No flame!" I've also seen ignitors ABOUT to go bad, such that their resistance or other current-carrying characteristics change and I'll-be-damned that the gas valve does NOT trigger/ open! WOO-HOO!

BTW, have your treed NOT banging/slamming the oven door shut, letting it drop, or slamming the racks? (LOL ducks and rund REALLY FAST!)

P.S. my engraved dinner invitation via snail-mail must have been "lost in the mail" Would you be so kind as to resend?

TYVM!

LOL
 
Looks great, Mike!!!!

Hey, Steve, wouldn't it be better to have a thermally-controlled cut-off switch for the gas flow? Basically, the ignitor would stay energized until X degrees F or C, then shut off because the thermal fuel switch would kick in and keep the fuel flowing. If the temp fell below X, the fuel switch would cut the flow of gas.

We have one of those tank-top heaters that attaches to a 20# propane tank. I can press the fuel valve button and use the piezo to ignite, but if I let the button go before X temp is reached (meaning the flame has been burning steadily), the fuel is cut off. Similar?

Actually what you are describing is much like a great, more classic system that gas stoves had used before they used ANY electricity. (Electricity on a gas stove is currently used not only for lights and clocks, but to control the gas to the oven and broiler and now feeds a computer / chip. ooh and the ignitors...duh!)

With the older American design, pilot lights were fed gas even if the sensor did not "prove" (feel) ignition. [i.e. the pilots were extinguished.]

I had bought a 20" / 50cm wide Turkish-made gas stove by Avanti a few years ago. It has what you describe above. You pressed in the oven knob so that an ignitor sparked the pilot light and the main burner. Once igniton was proven (say in half a minute) you'd let go of the knob, and gas was permitted to flow as long as the sensor was heated/satisfied. The flame size in the oven would increase and decrease infinitely to maintain oven temperature.

I hope to GAWD y'all are NOT using those unvented popane heaters indoors!
 
Ah so now it makes sense why my stove does what it does. I always thought that with the convection and the air moving around in the oven and such that it needed to keep the igniter lit.
Next time Miss Toggles when I make lasagna you will get a proper invite! And will make sure that invite is on mauve paper embossed in gold and the stamp with be just so from the corner and the envelope with be scented with lasagna scent...
And thanks Chuck! I wonder if he got the unvented heaters from the transfer station that they love to shop at?!? LOL!

Generally not, though we have been known to use one in the garage with a slow fan behind it to circulate the heat. The garage is far from sealed (hopefully we'll take care of that little problem this summer!).

The only time we've used one in the house proper is when the drain from the master bath shower would semi-freeze. We could put a small one (fit on a 1# tank) in the room below with the fins for the house fan propped open. Now that I've insulated that area, no problems!

Okay Okay!

Looks so darn good. Drooling here.
Is it a secret recipe?
I can smell it here all the way in Georgia!
