Our STOVE!!!

A major part of our meal plan's involves cooking the food! hehe
And I'm so happy to be sharing our Stove with you! It's the first time I've ever owned a gas stove and having owned one for 3 months now . . . . . I would NEVER go back! I LOVE our stove!

We picked this Five Star model because I really wanted a professional grade stove, and I love the simplicity of this one. You have everything you need in this stove and Nothing More. Just about anything that can go wrong with it can be fixed easily, It's heavy duty, and it's meant to last!
We debated getting a high end residential gas stove, or getting a mid range professional grade stove. We spoke to a lot of dealers and did a lot of research and are very happy with our choice.

We got a great deal on the stove too. We bought it from Coast Wholesale Appliances. I found it for full price at one of their locations and fell in love, but it was way out of our price range.
I thought I would check their other location and found the same stove on sale, but still it was still out of our budget. But a quick walk through their As-Is section and I found the same stove for . . . . .$1400. Bought it on the spot and drove is home in my Ford Escape (it fit in by a hair).
The reason it was on sale was because it was a return after it was dented in delivery. Here's the dent:
It's around  the handle, you can't even notice it, and in the end we saved well over $1500 on the stove of our dreams.

Plus, I couldn't resist those big knobs:
