However, your take to adopt a solar-water <a href="http://capitalplumbingca.blogspot.ca/2016/08/the-second-price-tag-when-choosing.html" rel="nofollow">heating</a> system will save you a lot.

I think you've made the sensible and, in an environmental sense, the right decision. I very much hope it works out really well for you. I cook on gas,but have just spent a week cooking on an induction hob and oven not previously familiar to me, and did so without problems - and cooking for up to 7.JohnDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582110970199222643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4033770631819899656.post-1505778882253861342016-05-11T15:56:19.821+02:002016-05-11T15:56:19.821+02:00Jane: The electric stove is still a while away.

When I built the house, electricity was used for little except lighting. Now, when I turn on dishwasher, washing machine and air conditioner at the same time, the circuits blow!

We have lived here in Extremadura for three years and have only just tried our local fried chicken takeaway... omg.. so good! We might be regular customers now. I'm sure it must be bad for you lol!janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01464271117104688420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4033770631819899656.post-3600149016350454602016-05-10T10:20:26.698+02:002016-05-10T10:20:26.698+02:00Patty: I am loath to give up gas stove, but tired ...Patty: I am loath to give up gas stove, but tired of lugging butane tanks.

I have always preferred cooking on gas, as you have as much heat right away, as you want, then less as needed. When I visit my family in WA I find it hard to be patient for the heat to get up to where I want it.

Keep the gas bottle, but decrease consumption.

I hate cooking on conventional electric, but I know people who have been happy with electric induction cook tops. The problem with those is you have to have the right kind of pots and pans. <br /><br />I'll definitely put up with gas bottles for a gas cooktop!David Emerynoreply@blogger.com
