so, my fugly stove broke a while back -- the oven stopped working. so i bought a spiffy new stove, ran some plugs so the new stove had a place to plug into (old stove - which I think dated to the 1940's, maybe - had pilot lights, not electrical ignition). and also put up a new backsplash behind it to be prettier, and replaced the fan/light over the stove. the result behind the cut.




the plumber came and installed it this morning. and then i made breakfast of scrambled eggs on it. BECAUSE I COULD.

So...what's that stove called? I'm starting to think about the renovation of the kitchen in our new house and this is awfully sexy looking.

It's a "GE Profile". I got it at Sears.

Thanks! Are you still loving it?

so far, yeah. the extra-big burner does a fine job of quickly boiling water. i'm not sure if the middle oval griddle burner is behaving as it should -- the flame looks a bit lower than i'd expect. i haven't done much with it, yet, tho, so i'm not sure if the result is as expected. baking/roasting/broiling in the main oven goes well. i haven't used the lower oven yet. i haven't baked bread, but i've roasted assorted meat/veg, biscuits, and casseroles to good effect.

when the griddle isn't in place (which is most of the time), i'm really liking having the continuous surface to slide pans around, although i need to find a new place to set cooking utensils since there's no longer a center spot.
