Got a cheesecake in the oven. I'll let you all know how this new recipe works out.

@rjohns39 just a heads up...that bread dough we've been talking about is very wet. The easiest way I found to work with it, is this: When you're ready to pull a wad of dough out, liberally flour the top of all the dough while it's still in the dough bucket and flour your hands up real well. Reach into the bucket and pull out a mass of dough about the size of your fist and with your floured hands stretch the top of the wad to the underside and with as little handling as possible, get it on your baking surface. Flour the top and make your slashes quickly with your sharpest knife (or lame). This recipe makes a rustic loaf, not a carefully formed dainty one. (And don't worry about the excess flour left on the dough in the bucket, it will be absorbed into the dough still in the bucket.)

Since you're talking stoves...
I have to replace mine. Very small kitchen, and it came with a glass top. Prior to that I was all gas. I want gas again, but I seriously use that glass top as part of my counter top since there is not enough countertop.

So..
What do y'all recommend? I want gas. Would love to have that second oven in it. Any ideas on the countertop loss?

My cast iron grates form a completely level stove top, so I use it as counter as well. I just can't put anything on it that will fall through—but a cookie sheet solves that problem.

ETA: I gave up on second oven, to get it I would have to give up another 12-24 inches of counter top and the cost of the one I wanted was out of reach.

@ronott1 I've not seen those covers before. I'll have to measure and see if they fit on a standard stovetop!

@rjohns39
What kind did you get? (A link would be great if there is one.)

 

[Leahs Mom]

I also just found these that should be standard. But I like the idea of the ones you posted that can flip up better. https://stovetopper.com/

Great!

It helps a lot to have more counter space in a small kitchen

Frigidaire Gallery 5-Burner Freestanding 5-cu ft Self-Cleaning Convection Gas Range
They had a model, not sure if it was frigidaire or another brand that had more whistles and bells but was 20% more in cost. Also ours is black, DW doesn't like stainless.
