Some of you may remember my post
New Town New Kitchen where I talked about the oven in our new apartment. It was a sturdy old thing - definitely use-able. But for somebody with such immediate baking needs (hello, I have a blog!), it just wasn't cutting it. The main issue was that it was 100 degrees hotter than what I set it to. Thank goodness I had a little thermometer that I could stick in there. It turned out that the stove portion wasn't quite right either - it worked on the higher temperatures, but if you set it to "medium" it was pretty much just "off". So, we complained.
We are not really complainers (at least not outwardly), but this particular issue seemed enough of a big deal to merit a complaint. A repairman came to look at it and determined that the thermostat was the problem (good thing we called a repairman to find that one out!), and he called his supplier to find out how much a new one would cost. Apparently these thermostats are expensive, because lo and behold - a new range is here!!
It arrived this morning and is shiny-and-clean-and-brand-spanking-new! This could possibly be the only time in my life when I have a brand new appliance (especially on somebody else's dollar) and boy am I going to take advantage of it!
Now we're working on a new dishwasher... does that come in stainless steel, please?
