Yeah, probably a coincidence that almost every restaurant on the planet uses them.

Then at least we an agree that all real chefs cook on gas burners instead of the abomination known as glass cooktops

But, electric ovens in the home are superior for a variety of reasons. In restaurants, they generally can't recover temperature quite as well though. The ultimate solution is dual fuel - gas cooktop, electric oven (with convection).

I need this for reasons.

Restaurants tend to stick to gas for everything due to cost per thermal but, also due to the wiring and power draw. As a restaurant adapts to business changes, there are ever more demands for power and more circuits. Rewiring and changing tiers for electrical power ain't cheap.

I certainly prefer cooking on gas cooktops.

But I definitely prefer an electric oven. Or at least a really good gas oven with terrific controls.

I have a convection range, IIRC it was only $100 more than a regular range when I bought it, this is probably a bad thing to "home engineer" just go out and buy one..

That's what I want, but man they're expensive. I already have a gas line behind my current oven too that could be put to use.

may need to check safe operating temperatures :awe:

3 blades move 50% more air

I don't even... 50% more because 3 is 50% larger than 2... /facepalm

hmmm - chalk it up to the fact that I'm younger/poor and haven't shopped for my own appliances yet (apartment)... I had no idea those existed.

Thanks - I've completely set my sights on them now, and will now only measure my success when I have the car I want and the oven I want (probably in the home I want).
