I did it! The big splurge. Still the most basic Viking range out there -- gas oven and cooktop. But the difference between this model and my former Viking range of 20 years is huge (convection, which I'm sure I will appreciate when baking). I wasn't planning on purchasing a new range quite yet, but Viking has just discontinued this color -- Kettle Black. I usually tend to choose matte over shiny and it was now or never. Hopefully, it will serve me well the during next 20 years! TAKE a LOOK:

I'm so very happy for you Eileen. I know exactly what you're talking about. I had a gas line installed in the kitchen just in case...but my old Whirlpool electric just keeps plugging away. I dream of a pro-style gas range like DCS, Viking, or Thermador, and look on Craigslist often for that ad, the one that would go like this... "I've quit cooking, and now offering a free La Cornue to a good home," A guy can dream can't he? Again, can't wait to hear more about this dreamy little kitchen addition.

Tom -- My ad wasn't anything like you are hoping to find on Craigslist, but that's where I sold my old Viking. I placed the ad at about 4 p.m. on a Saturday, and by 10 p.m., I had 12 inquiries. And it's in good hands. I sold it to a chef for his home kitchen!

How exciting, Eileen! Congratulations! Your mention of the convection option reminds me - I would love a post on some of your baking tips! I am never sure how to use the convection setting, and I'm sure you have plenty of other helpful insights on baking! Hope all is well!
