I had a gas stove when I was growing up and loved it. Ever since I have always wanted one. My LDG4313ST has been the stove of my dreams. The double oven is so convenient I don't know how I made due with only one oven my whole life. I can have crusts baking in one oven at 425° while my quiche is baking in the other. It is even more of a God send on holidays & family gatherings. I absolutely adore the center burner . I use a cast iron griddle to cook breakfast on every morning. It is easy to keep clean and a joy to cook on.
