Yay! New oven (right).
I made a few repairs on the old one, but the control panel was the last repair I couldn't do without spending 1/2 the cost of a brand new, better oven.
Hopefully with this one's stronger burner, it won't take 22 minutes to boil pasta water, and with the smaller burner, I'll be able to turn it low enough to not burn rice. Ya!
New features of this one that our old one didn't have:
- Broiler inside the oven, rather than the bottom drawer, which was only good for blackening peppers, onions, and tomatoes.
- nearly full-width grates on the top makes cooking multiple things so much easier when you need to shuffle around
- center griddle burner, though I'm not sure we'll use that
- "true/European style" convection and "air fry" functions.
- self-clean functions, both the gentle steam clean type and the full rippin-hot scortched-earth style.
- An integrated thermometer probe for roasts
It's the Frigidaire with "3060" in its model number. It was the cheapest (well known brand) oven with all of these features, plus fingerprint resistant stainless and a drawer that didn't feel like it would fall off.
New fridge likely delivering next week. That one, we're replacing preemptively, since we'd lose all of the food if it died, and we got an extra $75 off plus the labor day sale price by buying them both at once.
