Here's a unique one - a vintage stove, with the controls mounted remotely on the wall behind it.

What was the reason for the wall controls? Safety possibly, or just a cool idea from a person who got tired of cleaning grease off of knobs. I for one want it. |

I bet the remote-mounted controls give (gave) folks hesitation, both when installing in a new house build (will we ever be able to replace this if it fails?), as well as when replacing something else (how much of our kitchen will we have to remodel to use this?). Love the concept, but it would meet significant resistance just by being "different"....

Were a great idea but were expensive and more complcated to install.
And of corse would have been very complicated to do on a gas CT.
Hi Bud the answer to your nightly cleaning nightmare is an induction CT, mine looks like new after 33 years of hard use, just wipe it off, it is as easy to clean as the counter-top.

BUT they have one fatal flaw The oven liner is very prone to cracking in the bottom. |
