Old oven died. Installed the new one today
-
Nice. I technically have two cooktops (main one and a kind of weird 70s indoor grill that we never use), maybe if I get rich I’ll replace the second one with an induction. Just have to run a 240 line to it, which isn’t a big deal since I have drop ceilings in the basement.
-
Very nice! I love darker countertops because they mask spills and I'm messy
-
I didn't know naan could be (is) made on a griddle, that's awesome.
-
I am a dull man overall but this gets me excited.
-
Listen, I used to be the same, gas=best, electric if you had to, but induction changes the game. With a fully efficient pot, you can literally watch water boil, it's that fast. And they're SO MUCH easier to clean!
-
My stove is dying.
- Is that a 24" wide unit?
- How much research did you do?
- Give me your research.
-
Depends on what you cook. I’d never want induction for Asian cooking. Gas is the best for cooking with a wok. All you need is a wok ring to swap out the flat grate.
-
Idk if installing a gas range DIY is actually dull. Seems kinda cool to me.
-
I'm sorry yours is dying too.
- it is not, it's a 30" unit
- went to my local big box hardware store website, searched for gas ranges and picked the cheapest gas one that was available quickly, in white, with the griddle.
- that's all the research.

It does feel poweful/liberating to be able to do things like installing the oven. We replaced the old because the oven igniter kept failing. I replaced it four times over the last 9ish months. And when it died again Monday my wife and i decided we were fed up with an over we coulsnt trust anymore.
That being said, the install was really easy. Turned off the gas, disconnected the old oven, and pulled the male to male connector for the gas line off the old oven. Connected the gas line, plugged the oven in, turned on the gas, and slid it into place.
-
We really didn't want to spend nearly $800 on an oven, but my wife and I are excited about it too.
-
Yes! And it's so good. I love making fresh naan.
-
I will! Thank you!
-
Do you have any favorite recipes?
-
It is when you've done it a few times. Gas plumbing isn't really that different from water plumbing, you just use different materials. It takes like 10 minutes to connect everything.
-
Go with induction if you can. Gas isn't great health wise.
While it's nice being able to cook during a power outage, a camp stove is usually sufficient.
-
Induction woks are a thing
-
Looks beautiful. Hope you have better luck than I did with that narrow, low-sided grill. I found that grease and food were constantly falling over those edges. Stopped using the thing after a few months. I really miss my old grill.
-
How proud you must be. And rightfully so.
-
If you really love cooking with a wok, you can buy specialized induction stoves. There's absolutely no reason to poison yourself with gas.
