These stories are just killing me. I remember the microwaved egg stench, too, and the stew boiled to the consistency of sludge. But the best in our household had to be barbequed chicken. Rock hard, freezer-burned bone-in breasts...

Mezzaluna and OP, I've used my Wolf 36" dual-fuel for about a year and a half now. It was the biggest "luxury" item in the kitchen redo. I don't regret a penny. High output on the burners, and exceptional...

Take a look at the Wolf dual fuel models. I love mine. The oven can take forever to heat, though, but it is an absolute marvel. On refrigeration -- went from standard large GE Profile to a Subzero (half the capacity, twice the...
