As a short time ExPat living here in PI, I have to confess about about buying local stoves and ovens, after 5 yrs, finally decided to spend some money to bake bread. I chose an ANVil 8004 1/2 size electric convection oven (commercial). Oh what a difference an oven makes.
With the local (LaGermania) I had it in the dirty kitchen because of the heat factor, my new one is on the counter in side the kitchen, as it does not affect the A/C system at all.
It makes me wonder where the heat goes. At 450F you can put your hand on any part of the oven, my old one you had to use a hot pad to open the door. Pre-heat time for 400F is about 15 min., compared to 1+ hour for the old one. Hooray for a good oven. See my review on a “new” type mixer (not new to Europe, just to me)The Electrolux Assistent. If you bake bread, the only way to go.

Nice blog MM, keep up the good work.

That’s really cool. I have the Wolf, but only the four burners. I would have loved to get the one with two ovens but that would mean major kitchen renovation. Maybe in my next house :) .

Right there Stef. We tried to get an eight burner Viking commercial range for our home but the home inspectors and fire department here in the U.S. wouldn’t allow it. Or insurance company wouldn’t cover our home either if we still insisted on putting it in our kitchen. So, we eventually ended up with the same stove as MM (only ours has a green enamel oven doors face and a stainless top and front). I did install a 2nd kitchen though with a retro stove..the real workhorse…is our O’Keefe and Merritt. It even comes with a pancake grill. I can’t believe that though I love our Viking..our O’Keefe stove is more accurate temperaturewise.

fried neurons, i have a magnetic induction stove, it’s really amazing and heats things up in a nanno-jiffy, but MM’s cooking range looks real grand! :)

Nice stove!!! And it has a grill (*sigh*), no need to go through setting up the grill when you’re craving grilled stuff. Less hassle, more time to enjoy eating!! :D

what an absolute BEAUTY, marketman! and your passion for your “toy,” cooking, and good food, among other things that really matter (haha, talk about hedonism! don’t care, its my life, and i only live once in this shape and form, so there, indeed, haha!) is so damn infectious, i feel like going pronto to norbert gandler’s ischam, learn how to cook, and eventually purchase a “toy” just like yours!
