Reply to comment by xrocket21 in Still no power in West Paris, but have a handful of batteries and a warm stove! by cmacridge

Mostly just for heat but we'll occasionally use it to cook - cooked some frozen burritos in the oven during the outage! The oven is a bit tricky to keep at a steady temp, requires pretty constant monitoring/adjusting. The six burners up top give tons of options for adjusting the temp when using the cooktop. Main difficulty is not burning yourself or clothes when cooking after running it for heat all day.

We have an IR thermometer which can be helpful in selecting which burner to use but generally the two on the left are full heat and then progressively less hot moving to the right burners.

Do you have one of these?

I got a much better deal on one at a random antique store in the midwest, but these sit right down -in- the ring, and the whole thing flips over within the ring. It is both very cool, and makes darned fine waffles.

That is awesome! Definitely going to keep an eye out for one now :) Can't quite justify $120 for waffles but if I find a good deal.... Thanks!

I got mine for 20 bucks, but that was in the middle of nowhere. I saw one in Bridgton at a place, so they're around.
