I guess it's all what we get used to. A couple of years ago, we replaced our cooktop - which was a Thermador -- with a Viking. We had so many problems with the Viking, that we sent it back and replaced it with another Thermador. I'm much happier now! I think you should hold onto the big pots, even if you have to store them in the garage!

I was so distracted by your lovely, spinach-green Le Creuset and your granite countertops that I wandered off for a minute.<br /><br />I have been cooking on gas for 24 years. I used to be afraid of the flame, but now we are great friends. If I was a range with 6 burners, I'd be feeling a little aggressive myself--just growl a little at it each time you enter the kitchen and show it who's boss.<br /><br />As for the soup pots: when in doubt...put a plant in it.Nib's Endhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00820552995581749771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025769640802524983.post-42662339304836459942016-08-08T18:55:52.466-07:002016-08-08T18:55:52.466-07:00I love cooking on a gas stove - it's so easy t...I love cooking on a gas stove - it's so easy to control the heat! Most houses here in IL have gas ranges; electric is rare - and supposedly harder to cook on than gas. I remember when I was growing up, we had an electric stove and my mom hated it. She couldn't wait until we got a new gas range. Anyway, your Thermador range sure is gorgeous! I think you will soon learn to love it. :-)Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025769640802524983.post-85143163456321258852016-08-08T17:07:13.859-07:002016-08-08T17:07:13.859-07:00:-) I do hear ya about stoves/ovens.
