When I bought my new refrigerator a couple years ago I looked at the
ranges they were selling, and they had a lot of them, including high end
kitchen stuff and some professional ranges (some small) for restaurants.
I wasn't impressed. Most of the new stuff is small and doesn't have a
preparation surface like this stove has. It doesn't look great, but if I
can paint or coat those pieces it's be OK for me for a while. Whether or
not the fumes from this paint are bad for me is an issue I should look
into, possibly, but it's hard for me to believe they'd sell this paint
for high temperature applications if it were that dangerous. No
headaches so far...
