I reno'd the kitchen about 10+ years ago with a Whirlpool gas cooktop/rangehood and oven while on a budget and am looking to take it a step further The oven takes about 45 mins to get up to 180c and the gas stove just doesn't get hot enough for the cast iron to properly sear a steak Should I look for a better gas cooktop, or is induction worth looking at? Why can’t we have both? (Cbf finding the taco girl meme) were doing a fisher and Pykel 4 gas and 2 induction burner cooktop, but you can play with the config as much as u want and the pieces go together as you wish. I like gas, but I want fast cooking for some chit. https://www.fisherpaykel.com/au/kitchen/cooking-appliances/cooktops.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent used induction but you have to buy different pots and pans, and also beef up your wiring for it to the switch board. can be costly. spend the money on good appliances. mums house had budget technica sh*t (10 years ago), all failed within a few years. now ive upgraded her to all bosch.

My flat is in pretty poor condition, I've already hired guys to remodel the bathroom and kitchen, though still there's a problems with windows. I've found this company bluesky windows (really sorry for the link, not spam), are they good? There are reviews on the internet, but I'd like to hear from you. Or maybe someone can recommend a company? Edited 30/10/19 08:52 AM by Rab Spam link removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
