[Electronics-Talk] Accessible Stove

Tue Jan 19 19:21:22 UTC 2016

Hobarts is the commercial branch of Kitchen Aid and talking to people 
who have actually worked in the food industry they have high regard for 
Hobarts stuff.  I have one of those gas stoves with the touch panel here 
that runs the oven and broiler and also have a black Nuwave oven and the 
Nuwave ovens all run by buttons.  When the Nuwave Oven arrived we found 
all of the extras sent along with the oven to have been made by Hobarts.
  I actually purchased two of those ovens and left one of them with a 
friend when I moved out of Maryland and that friend ran University Of 
Maryland's Cafeterias for five years so he knew exactly what it was when 
Hobarts stuff came out of those packages.
