I stand by the gas stove top and electric oven, but there are now self-cleaning gas ovens as well.

I really like the ability to have pretty much instant control of the cooking heat.

But for a long time, I've wondered about our engineering in the kitchen. For instance, the refrigerator removes heat from food and the stove puts heat into food. Sometimes they're right next to each other. Seems like a waste and something that could be corrected.

BTW, I also use a big powerful microwave. Used to have one that could also do convection or both, but it died (sob!).
