Product review (4 stars): Wonderful appliance
I cooked my first Thanksgiving dinner in my new oven. Let me start with the pros. It is absolutely beautiful. Everyone who has seen it has commented on how it makes my kitchen look bigger, which is funny because it is a lot bigger than my old stove. I love the ability to just use the smaller oven when I'm cooking for just the two of us and the bigger side for family dinners. The power burner is awesome, you can heat up a huge pot of water in minutes. The knobs are not plastic on my stove, they are stainless and seem very sturdy. I also love the fact that it is on legs, which allows me to clean underneath.
Now for the cons, actually only one. I don't know how to determine when the oven has reached its temperature. My old oven would ding when it had reached the desired temp but there is nothing to indicate on this oven, unless it is when the fan comes on. It doesn't matter when you're doing a turkey but it sure matters when you're doing cookies or a pie crust.
