As many of you know Katie and I recently bought a house. Well after much work and buying a new stove and getting my dream DW hooked up here is my kitchen.

Very nice Nick!! How are the broken bones healing?
Nice!
I'm glad to see that you didn't forget the (requisite) sunflowers.

Love that DW, so pretty!
Looks great! Congratulations again on the new home!
Thanks guys:
I'm really enjoying my new range. Never knew an electric could cook this well. The Accu-Bake oven with convection is a dream.

P.S. Bob my foot is healing quite nicely. Thnaks for asking.

Congrats on the new house. My mom always had sunflowers in her kitchen as well. What I like best about the convection oven is that for most stuff you really don't have to preheat. I never do anyways. I just put stuff in there and turn it on, cakes, loaves of bread, frozen fries, roasts... hasn't made any difference that I've noticed, just saves time and energy.
Great job with the kitchen, Nick! I'm not surprised you're enjoying your electric convection range. Having both gas and electric convection ranges, I have to admit the electric takes the checkered flag in nearly all categories: Evenness of baking and broiling; rapidly bringing a large pasta-cooking pot of water to the boil; evenness of heat distribution over the entire bottom of saucepans/sauté pans.
My Frigidaire ranges were purchases in 2002 and I've used the electric far more than the gas. In an effort to even out their lifespan, I've been using the gas range almost exclusively for the past few months. The instant on/instant off heat control of the burners is nice, and the heat thrown off by the oven vents and burners keeps the kitchen cozy warm...but the electric range produces better results.
I'm also a fan of open-plan kitchens so you can visit with guests while doing food prep.
Take care of your foot and enjoy your new range and kitchen. Nice dishwasher too, by the way.

Great Nick
Nice set up.
I have been cooking domestically with electric for years. Radiant Tube, Calrod, Corox, Kenmore (what ever they use,) and I like electric. It's like any appliance, once you get used to it, no problem.
(as I used to say when I lived in New Joisey) You's guys have fun in your's new house.

Kitchen:
Hey Frig: While I mostly learned cooking on commercial gas stoves I find this electric unit easy to adapt to. The response times are much faster than I would have expected. While the oven is no match for a full size gas convection oven, let alone a combi I am impressed with the results. Thanks for the kind words about the DW. I love that machine and it outwashes any other I have used hands down.
Eddie: Yes it is true a chef must know his equipment to use it properly.
As we say here in Minnesota(Yeah that stove is not too bad and we have a pretty good kitchen)

Love that!
You don't often find the black/white combo to work so nice as yours. I think the countertops tie it all in.
Good cooking ahead! Garden State congrats to you.

Love that dishwasher
I gave one just like it to John about 2 years ago after I bought all new stuff and I have regretted giving it up since. I hope a part of mine ended up as part of your dream kitchen!
I do like my new range, it is a near top of the line Kenmore made by Electrolux, with true convection. The cook top works great with fast reaction and a high power element, 2 smalls and one triple element sort of like the old GE I had. I still keep the 55 GE and 56 Philco ranges going as well.

I don't believe this is your DW as I have had it in my posession for more that 2 years. John will correct me if I am wrong.
My stove is a Whirlpool. It does have the rapid boil and the 3 ring elements. It also has 2 small elements and a warming zone. It does have the convection oven as well.
