Dishwasher and Induction Cooktop

[Skids]

I'll stick with gas, the majority of commercial kitchens use it for a reason and considering most of Victoria's electricity still comes from coal, gas is cleaner.

All this BS in parliament today about capping prices. FFS, a little bit of foresight, we have massive reserves of gas, we shouldn't be paying European prices for it, the Government(s) should just have made it a condition that X amount needs to be sold to the local market at a set price and they can sell the rest overseas. With the amount of reserves we have it should be damn near free.

Can’t do induction cooking

[think positive]

If the gas cooking doesn't need replacing, nothing wrong with the big old gas bottles.

Have had gas big bottles for cooking last 34 years (didn’t have gas connected when we first bought house in Bendigo) and it has been tremendous. We kept the bottle system even after natural gas became available. Wouldn’t ever consider electric cooking unless I had absolutely no other options. Gas is brilliant for Asian (Sri Lankan curries etc) cooking and also for stir fry stuff.

Really?
Hmm something to think about, I really would prefer fas!

Anything over $500 for a gas cook top is ludicrous.

Just dropping in to say I don't have the slightest clue what any of you guys are talking about, and I don't want to hear any complaints about my obscure thread topics again.

thank fck for that, my house is similar age and I had the front rewired after I put the extension on. The old wiring and ceramic fuses is a death trap.

I do agree with Skids though, you paid way overs for that gas cooktop, $2k for pretty and $500 for functionality. You could have got a more practical 4 or 5 burner for a lot less.

We could have bought a 5 burner for a lot less. We paid for build, 5 year warranty, quality, cleanability, brand and looks. Very happy with what we purchased. Saved a grand on the Siemens new dishwasher also 5 year warranty. Swings and ‘roundabouts. See it as evens. If we’re doing a flash renovation I’m not putting an embassy brand in

If you're doing it to sell, the flash model is good, if you're doing it to stay you want functionality not pretty. You don't see pretty black glass in a commercial kitchen, just stainless steel.

Anyway, kitchens are the most overspent areas in the house after bathrooms. So many people spend a shitpile on a fancy kitchen and expensive appliances they never use because it looks good. I prefer cheap and functional.

$500 can get you a butt ugly cooktop

Spend a bit more, and you get something that sits flush with the benchtop, or has quality burners, trivets and caps. Not aluminium ones, but brass.

We are gas bagging about using gas for cooking, a type of gaslighting I guess. But no one run out of gas yet so no one has had to pass gas
