I put in that kitchen, Pete, in that my main dining room sits four- only, so I needed a big open kitchen dining entertaining area.
I had put the big 30 inch Gas 1990s self-clean gas range that came with the house down there, and found a 20" wide gas Welbilt brand BOL POS on the street that I brought back to life with TLC and a few Major scrub-downs. for down there also. (*SIGH* Yes I extended the gas line myself.. LOL )
I'm pretty good with pipe.
I wanted an electric range with a glass-top to try, so that was installed upstairs. (I ran the Bx wiring and added the outlets myself.)
I liked it so much that (dfaser, cleaner, safer,much cooler)Tthat I got another one for downstaris and donated that older gas S/C to the neighbor...for HER basement kitchen.. LOL
Brought the TOL (witht he whote top down and left the newer (at the itme) MOL one up here (with the black top.
I will however switch, I lke the small burner in the front for everyday use, and I tend to used the middle sized top burner (element really) most for everyday cooking.

HOW NICE STEVE I GUESS I SHOULD GET BUSY AND POST MINE
HOW NICE STEVE I GUESS I SHOULD GET BUSY AND POST MINE
Yes a pot for every job..
Love cooking. Hate to have too much "Stuff"
2 kitchen means duplicates and I hate it.
If I ever get a summer house (here or north) or a winter place (in Florida or south), I will close down the upper kitchenn and use all that stuf in the new place.
Just too much damn stuff!! LOL,and half the time I still go to the "other" kitchen to fetch something!
PS the Martha Stewart pots are decent and were 75% off, open stock. The IKEA stuff is actually very sleek and nice and works on induction as wll (thinking of the future!!!) like it much more than I thought I would. Highly recommended. And slight "V" shape (when upright) means walls of pot come really clean in DW!!

I liked those pot&pans you had hanging in the kitchen. Very sleek looking indeed. We'll have to have a cook off plus a wash-in in the near future. Eat your heart out Emeril! LOL!

Steve-
Thank you for having us all over! I always have loved the idea of a second basement kitchen. I like it better than your "real" kitchen. I also enjoyed reading about your new spin dryer. What a nice addition to a vintage automatic with a slower spin speed (Not everyone can have a unimatic!)

Thanks for the pics - it's good to put the appliances with the person now! You have lots of room in the basement for many, many more washers and dryers - and dishwashers too!

Great Pictures Steve,
I must say that your two kitchens are such a unique idea! Very cool!
And what shocks me is that they are both so darn clean!
Thanks for the pictures!

Mother was a germ-freak.
Father a rigid authoritarian, disciplinarian.
Super-clean and well organized is the only way I know...
Regardless of what people may think of the lifestyle, the sub-culture and the stereotypes, living well is the best revenge.... (because that I do for ME!)

gas and electric
( LOVE the idea of having gas AND electric ranges in a kitchen, so one can choose the best appliance for the job. That's defiantely teh way I'd do it if I had the choice.

2nd kitchens
Eventually I would like to get around to installing a small kitchenette area on the lower level in my house as well. Small stove, undercounter fridge and a dishwasher or dish drawer. The main floor gets stifling hot in summer but the seasons short and dry hence no a/c <yet> My downstairs is a walkout on two sides so it stays comfortable even on the really hot hot days and seldom ever going over 75 so I live down here mostly except for having to go upstairs to cook which no one wants to do when it's already boiling in the kitchen. Only got one awning casement type window near the floor in the livingroom that opens in which I could install a window a/c and not have it look awful. With any luck one will turn up dirt cheap

Prices on window units have come down greatly. Now that the cooling season will soon be ending (here and north of here), you may find a deal very very soon. Good luck, and keep those peepers open!
P.S.- getting a 220v unit will work if you have a dedicated (single-outlet) 110v 20a line. It just takes an extra breaker to convert it to 220v. The neutral wire (white) gets transferred from the neutral bus (in the breaker box) to the 2nd breaker. Of course the outlet will need to be changed to a a 220v one. And there too, the white conductor functions as the second pole (second hot-leg).

Hey Steve,
Congratulations on the new spinner. It looks cute. It must have about the same capacity as a European spinner. BTW, how is the airconditioner that we bought? Did you install it?
Louis
PS, Steve's house is indeed very clean, I can testify for that!

I bought a window unit for the basement to supplement the central air. With two stoves going and many people in the one large room (which is literally half of the house's footprint) it gets too hot there!
When I gut the basement and insulate and re-sheetrock and rewire and throw down a nice ceramic tiled-floor, I will get a split system (Euro system) to replace the window unit.
Louis: Not yet installed. Need to get it serviced. (how fast did i mail in that warranty card!!!!) Defective electronic controls right from the sealed never-before-opened box!

Here it is by Mitsubishi.
(Mr. Slim? HA that doesn't help its chances of establishing residency in my home any!)
BTW They say that the mistubishi is a great heat pupmp for my area in that we are the northern-most border where these work decently. Mitsubishi IIRC has a DC compressor that runs at 150% of normal speed in really cold weather extracting much more heat from the ambient outdoor air.
