Cohousing-L Mailing List: Stove

[Ceil Malek (cfrenchmalek]

Casa Verde Commons is a community of 34 households in Colorado Springs, CO,
now 23 years old.

We're shopping for a 36" range for our Common House Kitchen, and we'd love
to have input from other communities about what brand and type have worked
for you.

We purchased our range used five years ago, with gas burners and a
convection oven ( commercial quality), which is not working reliably
enough. many repairs have not solved its problems (not holding heat makes
it undpendable).

What about your range?  Do you use gas or electric or gas and electric?
Did you purchase a commercial stove?  What size?  What brand? Cost?  What
has your experience been?

Information about the size of your community and the scope of your meals
program would be helpful.

Thanks so much for your help.
