You will love being able to slide pots forward and back!

Is that a griddle in the center? Most people use those a few times and then not so much... there are only so many pancakes a person needs...

Now, once I post the recipe, you can make curry-beef pastries and other tasty baked dishes!

Exactly! Our first meal on it will be pasta with red sauce, so we can time how long a 17K BTU burner to boil a large pot of water. I cannot wait until we get a grill pan - it comes with a griddle pan but not a grill pan - and also a proper wok. And I'm looking forward to being able to put bell peppers directly on the burners to get a good char on the skins.

Eeee, congrats!

Fingers crossed! This is Mom's Christmas gift to us, as she's known that I've been dying for gas cooking for years. :)

So shiny it's the bling!

Blindingly shiny! Although not for long, as stainless is annoying to keep clean! XD

I find that while stainless steel is easy to smudge with fingerprints there are these oily cleaners (some are biologically degradable but they still work on the basis of rubbing an oily substance into the metal) that give a nice film and it takes quite a while to smudge it up again. So once you have time to clean it the stainless parts should look like new, in comparison with the actual top of the range after it's been regularly used for cooking ^^.

Isn't that the stove from Sims? I hope you have less fires than they do! XD
