Q: I'm getting ready to move into a new home and am devastated that I'll be leaving my gas stove behind! There's no possibility of installing a gas stove in the new house as there aren't any gas lines in the neighborhood, so I'm looking for advice on the best substitute.
Do you cook in your fireplace? Well, imagine how amazing it would be if you had a built-in wood fireplace right there in your kitchen. Think of all the wood-fired pizzas! Not to mention how toasty warm the room would be all winter. Love! More
Q: I just moved into my boyfriend's house and he has a smooth ceramic top electric stove. But I've always cooked with gas. I just can't get the hang of this thing! My rice boils over and I've burned things I've never burned before. Any tips for making a smooth transition from gas to electric?
