My new stove!!!! #59 done

Posted on July 29, 2008 by abbysmom1005

This is by far the most exciting goal that I have yet to cross off. our new range was delivered yesterday. WooHoo! I am so excited to cook my first meal on it tonight. Now I have to find something new stove worthy to cook.

It is a Frigidaire Professional Series. It has a convection oven, with a warming drawer (now where am I going to put all my cookie sheets), and a 5 burner stove top. Two of the burners are “power plus” burners (woo hoo!, no more waiting 20 minutes for water to boil), and the middle burner has a griddle plate that can with the range. Now I have to learn to use the convection oven. I did test it out last night (not cooking anything though) and it took about 3 minutes to pre-heat. Our old one took about 20minutes. Oh yeah and the best part no more loud boom noise 5 minutes after turning on the oven. Yes, our old stove apparently took about 5 minutes between turning it on to actually ignite. So once it did ignite it was already filled with gas, hence the loud boom. Sounds safe, right?!

My new love!
