Before

 

 

And after.

 

That’s it.  The last appliance has given up the ghost.  They’ve all been replaced.

 

They weren’t very old, but they had done their time already.  We replaced each one with something better.  Remember when stoves had those burners that stuff fell down in and it was hard to keep them clean?  Then we moved on to flat cook surfaces.  Well this one has multiple size elements, seven altogether, for different size pots, on that flat cook surface.  It also has a flat control panel; no knobs!  The whole control panel is a giant touch screen.  That will be easier to keep clean too.  Either that or we’ll activate everything at the same time and totally blow its mind every time we wipe it down.
