90% of my cooking these days occurs in one of 4 ways.
Induction cooktop
Flavorwave
Convection Microwave
Sous Vide
each in their own ways, properly applied, cleaves away the various shortcomings of the regular microwave and regular oven.
ima simpleton myself. i dont go looking for new ideas to reinvent the square wheel. but... i have had this conundrum for about two years, and recently really hitting home. our stove, (it's fan forced, and the fan's never worked since we bought the house) is the narrowest piece of cookware known to man. its 55 cm wide (frame, not cooking space in the oven). i dare you to measure that out. its old, and lately the igniter switch has been failing, so we have to use a bbq lighter. problem is that space is damned near impossible to replace. can't go wider as it would block the pathway of the center of the house.
now you introduce me to something that is as foreign to me as american pussy.
and induction stove top?
so i google it, then i talk to my wife about it.
turns out we have on the opposite side of the kitchen, a countertop that can accommodate this new fangled invention. and low and behold, there is space below it to install a stand alone oven below it.
a big old fuck you for introducing me to a new tech that i really didn't NEED, but now want, and cause the wife always says yes to my requests, i am getting :-)
i will post pics another day with before and after, but here is what i will be getting:

I have shopped at both and Hy-Vee is much nicer and cleaner than Publix. [Reply]
