Meet Diablo
Say hello to my stove, which I have called Diablo, along with a batch of low-cal Oatmeal Cookies.
Why Diablo? Because I learned very quickly that this crazy Tappan has burners linked to HELL ITSELF.
They look like normal burners. Not sealed. Not big. Not fancy. But hot as Hell itself. Boiling water is a joy. Stir frys? Simplicity. Cooking? Not for amateurs. You have three settings: Hell, Hot, and Simmer. I love it.
In addition, it has a griddle in the middle, which is great for pancakes, keeping things warm, etc. The oven, which we used today, seems pretty solid, too. (Thank you Evelyn for giving it a well deserved cleaning.)
It also has my Favorite Timer. It has the “one minute warning” like many, but when it does go off it doesn’t pester you. Beep, beep beep. Wait 15 seconds, Beep. And repeat. Exactly how timers should behave.
God knows what my gas bill is going to be, but I love this stove.

WOW, oatmeal raisin cookies came out deeeeliiiiciousss… yummy !!!
Ron is right about the stove, it’s el Diablo all right. Cooks quickly and it’s quite HOT… ouch…
Much better than the apartment. And it’s not all that difficult to clean up. Great way to bring in the first day of the year by making some very delicious cookies.
Thanks Ron for the tasty treat.
