Back To The Basics

Look what was delivered to my house Tuesday! Nothing fancy, no glass to break, no glass to scratch, I can go back to canning food and the oven is self cleaning. Sometimes simple is the best! Check out how clean it looks because it wonโ€™t stay that way. For those of you wondering why I bought this new stove check out my original post here.

  1. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ I’m all excited for you! Yes, sometimes simple is the best!
    But hey, “the oven is self cleaning” … that’s a bonus!! Looking forward to see what wonderful dishes you will make on (and in) your new stove!

  2. Self cleaning is a wonderful feature. Enjoy your new oven. I like that your back walls are brick and your counter is not granite, easy to clean, not high maintenance !

  3. We used to have a glass top stove. Had all the bells and whistles, including a convection oven. Just after the warranty expired, we start having issues. Every repair was around $500. The 3rd time it needed repairing was around $700. We decided to go back to a simple stove.

    • Yes!!!! That is exactly why I told my husband in the long run it would be cheaper to just buy a simple new one. I hated the convection oven and never used it. Itโ€™s funny because the expensive one took forever for the oven to preheat, this one doesnโ€™t!

  4. Oh my Diane! I missed the post when your stovetop broke. It was probably when I was out of town. I have the same stove you just got rid of. And I Hate It! It is so hard to clean. I loved the flat top range I had before I replaced it. That one was a very good range. The one have now is exactly like the one you put out to the curb. I keep waiting for something on it to break because it is such junk. It does have some nice features but that is all I can say. I hope your new stove works will for you. Please let us who maybe following in your steps know how you like your new one.

      • Itโ€™s a GE brand. It is almost exactly like the one I had before the glass top so that is why I bought it, however, there were very few to pick from that werenโ€™t glass tops! The only reason I had changed is because when the drip pans got dirty I couldnโ€™t get them clean Now I will stock up on them! Hahaha

      • Yes. Cleaning the drip pans were always difficult. I would think that today they would be impossible. My sister covers her drip pans with aluminum foil. It doesn’t look the best but then I guess that’s no different than dirty ones you can clean. Right? Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. ๐Ÿ’—

  5. I’m glad you are happy with your new stove Diane. I saw up above that you had surgery, I hope it was nothing serious and that you are on the mend. Enjoy your new appliance.

    • I havenโ€™t used my new stove much Carla, but so far I do like it. Yes I did have surgery and it will take about 8 weeks to recover fully. Iโ€™m so worried about my yard going to pots but thereโ€™s nothing I can do about it. Surgery was bad timing with spring and the busiest months of the year. I got as much done as I physically could before surgery so that helped. My husband will do what he can but he has enough to do with his own chores and heโ€™s helping me so much inside. I canโ€™t even do light housework for another week and I canโ€™t lift over 10# for a while. Looking forward to feeling better and getting back to normal. Thanks so much Carla! โค๏ธ

    • So far I am loving it Donna. It is very basic, I even have to turn on/off the light in the oven. I have to increase the temperature and time by pushing the plus button and you know what, I donโ€™t care. It has been baking and cooking on the burners perfectly. Now if I could figure out how to keep it looking like new!

    • It cooks perfectly too, how could I ask for more! Believe it or not, it is still spotless. It is almost like they made it so things donโ€™t burn to it like they old days. No regrets buying this one. Thank you!!!
