The oven in my parents' Whirlpool range has been on the Fritz for the longest time now. It works great sometimes, but then other times it'll just stop igniting in the middle of a bake. When it's acting up, the gas turns on and the electronic ignition clicks a few times, but it never ignites and the gas turns off. Today, I tried using the oven without the burner cover, leaving the heat shield in place, and the gas ignites on the first click. I guess the cover is limiting the amount of oxygen to the burner? Has anyone experienced anything like this?

I’m too cheap to get a chinois so I use a strainer and press it with a utensil

I've seen ranges where the burner cover thing (in the center of the gas outlet for the stove right?) could cover one or more gas outlets if not positioned correctly. Maybe the burner cover from another stove position got mixed up and they're both on the wrong ones, interfering with the gas outlet where the ignitor is?

I'm trolling through Goodwill's auction site and I have the option between a Jamba Juice blender to bid on, or a Breville BBL620SIL. I know Jamba Juice blenders are from Blendtec, but that's about it. This Jamba Juice blender's page doesn't go into enough detail about it. Which should I get? Either will be somewhat of a gamble considering the source, but I'm not sure which I should double-down on.

A lot of the smoothie shops in my area have a model with a plastic cover that goes over the entire blender jar, which seems like it would be annoying. The only other thing I can think of is that parts may be more available for the Blendtec/Jamba Juice one, since it will likely be a commercial model and most places will want to repair them.

There are some photos for it, sure. https://shopgoodwill.com/item/150815496 I recently noticed that the Jamba one is 4 cups and the Breville is 8. But is 4 cups really that little?

Were it me, I would look at the Breville. Half the appeal of Jamba Juice blenders to me is those hoods that deaden the sound.

Sorry, should have mentioned that its specifically the oven burner and ignition. The range burners work fine. I ended up taking the ignition out and scrubbing the electrode and grounding point with a wire brush to it to get any oxidation and gunk off and it seems to be working fine now. Lights up on the first click of the relay.

I've been trying to figure this out on my own, but I'm coming up blank. Does anyone know if there's a large griddle that would work on an induction cooktop? I'm basically looking to get a plancha-type setup and it would be ideal if I could just use my stovetop. Thanks goons.

Lodge has a big cast iron griddle that should work on an induction top.

I think your biggest issue with any plancha on an induction cooktop is going to be that you'll have hot and cold spots - unless the entire cooktop is induction, of course.

To me I'd think that using it in that way is going to make the outsides of things cook faster and perhaps leave the insides less cooked than I would expect. When should I be using it?

ThePopeOfFun posted:I love my gas stove, but I lived with family for a minute and grew to love their induction stovetop. And convection oven. I went from electric, then to gas for a year, then to induction and I really love the induction. Super responsive, safer, easy to keep clean. It took some getting used to, but so much nicer. First time with a convection oven (two of them  ), as well, and I love it. Shooting Blanks posted:Plenty of other options and I'm guessing at least one will be induction compatible.

Yeah, that's one thing I was worried about. The stovetop I have has the burners pretty close together, so I was hoping it would do okay and the heat would just radiate across, but you're right it's definitely going to have hot and cold spots. Guess I'll just have to try! Thank you all for the responses.

No Wave posted:Whenever you want anything to be dry on the outside. Many vegetables, most tubers, most meat. Thanks, do you adjust cooking time or just enjoy a better exterior? Say, for a roast. I get that you're kinda going halfway towards air fryer type of results and for something like squash or similar I could imagine it being fantastic, just inexperienced when it comes to cooking animal protein with it.

I just replaced the igniter like-for-like from a local appliance parts store for $60 or so and the oven hasn’t had a problem igniting since. I didn’t even bother cleaning up the original in my case, since it wasn’t sparking at all when I was observing it.

Only time you turn off convection really is cookies. Everything else, it highly depends on your oven's particulars but common wisdom is cut the temp 25°F and start checking 25% early. If you have a probe thermometer that's the best way to be sure - just make sure your meat internal temperatures are the yummy temp not the FDA "0 bacteria but also 0 remaining moisture" temperatures.

AnonSpore posted:Wait, why not for cookies? Same reason it's bad* for cakes, souffles, custards, and quick breads. The air circulation makes the outside cook before the inside gets heated through. If you take a standard cookie recipe and put it in a convection oven at the same temperature, it won't spread as much, the edges and top will be browner, and the center won't be done before the edges are threatening to burn. A quick bread will have the outer surfaces set before the inside can rise properly. *without proper adjustment. Now I really want to make cookies and it's like a billion degrees outside so I can't.

Usually the first place I check for that kind of “metal, but doesn’t need to cost $25 at Target” utensil is the big Asian grocery nearby with a restaurant supply aisle. I think most of my handheld strainers are from there.

My parent's dishwasher is on its last leg so I figured I'd get a new dish washer and give them the two year old one that came with my house when I bought it as a way to get them a newer dishwasher without it being such an obvious gift. What should I look for in a dishwasher?

I guess I don't know if there are other high-end brands that are as good, but my crap-rear end, decades-old dishwasher gave out in the middle of the pandemic and I had to wait months for a Bosch 500 to become available and it's by far the best dishwasher I've ever owned.
