Am at the point in the building of our home where I need to seriously start looking at appliances. We are about to do the final layout of the Ikea kitchen and purchase the cabinets, etc.
I am very intrigued by induction cooking. Initially I wanted gas, but where I live, we are off the grid and the thought of giant tank in my yard just isn't appealing, so I am looking at induction.
The only range I can find (and the only one that is made
w
/o a giant price tag) is the new-ish Kenmore Elite, but after weighing things, I do believe I prefer to stay with a cooktop and a separate oven. However, I am limited on space and had initially planned to put the oven below the cooktop, however after speaking to a salesperson, I was told that this would not be possible, since the induction cooktop supposedly (I don't know if I believe the sales guy..since I have found that they are often less-than-informed...) is thicker and doesn't allow for clearance under it (or ENOUGH clearance).
Has anyone ever had a similar situation??? Were you able to put drawers under your induction cooktop? Any advice? Help! I meet w/ the builder early next week to do the final layout......
