re: New kitchenaid range and stove, Gris this is what I ended up with...

Man... Cooked some snapper last night and now I know why I could never get my crust right! Damn electric top.... Sorry, no pics as it was the wife's birthday and she started eating before I sat down.

Seriously though, this is a nice range. Heats up quick, oven prolly takes a little longer than I thought to hear up, but I think that's b/c I'm literally watching it like a hawk.

Only that is a tad annoying is that there is a function on the stove that ask if you want to use to convection conversion set up on the oven. Basically you put in your normal oven time and temp and it converts it to the correct convection numbers. Not sure if you can disable it and just pull up if needed.
