In Hamlet Ophelia admonishes her young brother to avoid perdition thusly: “Show me the steep and thorny way to Heaven”, which is excellent advice. However, eventually we all have to eat, so no harm in taking a break from our travails and using a fine stove to conjure up a delicious meal for all who accompany us.
One of the most versatile and bullet-proof stoves ever made, right here in the Windy City. Two match-lit ovens, six burners, two broilers. If you’ve got a big family, or you just really like to cook, you will love the availability of so many cooktop burners, and two ovens that are well regarded for even and accurate temperatures.
Did I not mention looks? Timelessly handsome, and very little used, based on the condition of interior and exterior porcelain (All missing parts will be included, rusted/tarnished chrome, dials etc. can be restored on request).
Yes, it’s a bit odd that one oven has a window and the other doesn’t, but the fact that you are looking at this website indicates that you are not one to blend in with the masses. You can deal with it. As a matter of fact, you will love this stove. And since it is so well made, and so well constructed, you’ll have many decades to do so.
