After a measly 32 years, my range has cratered.

Any rec's for a new one? *$500-$700 price range?

Any ones to stay away from?

Thanks a heap,
Stay away from electric.

Why? My wife was a Home Ec. major in college and has taught Home Ec. She
has used both gas and electric ranges over the years and seems perfectly
content with her new ceramic-top electric range. We could have had gas
run to the kitchen for a gas range (the furnace is gas), but she decided

Unless you have subsidised Hydro you pay alot more to cook, I pay 30%
more per Btu for electric. Now Electric companies over the last year
has successfully got major rate increases put through that will stay
in effect, last I saw Ng is in a big down trend. Cooking on electric,
no pro will use electric nor will I. Plus electric electric elements
dont last.
