I have had a 1950's O'Keefe and Merritt for 20 years. I think the range is beautiful but some of the grating is damaged. The broiler does not work. We are afraid to use the griddle because it then needs to be rechromed, the valves get stuck.... and on and on.
I just came into some money and would like a new range. The current range is a free standing 38" with 4 burners, a griddle, separate broiler, stove, and broiler.
So I think I want a 36" range, at least 4 burners, a griddle or room for a griddle across grates, a broiler, an oven ( I think convection??).
I want it to look good and be very reliable. I am not sure what other features to look for. I the top end of my budget is $6000.
Most of our meals will be for the two of us. I do and plan to do more of a lot of complicated cooking. We bake bread a fair amount. We have parties for 6-8 about every 3 weeks.
I have always liked the way Wolf's and Vikings look but have some some bad reviews.
So any and all recommendations are welcome.
Thanks.
