I did follow through with my plan yesterday. I turned the self-clean on in the morning, then when it cooled, I gave it a thorough scrubbing, range and vent hood. Badly needed, believe me. My life over the past couple of years has not been 'me'. It's hard to believe I bought this twenty-three years ago. Today is laundry but I will work on cleaning the open shelves, both the shelving and the items on them. I cook a lot, much of it on the stovetop, which means that greasy film of dust covers everything.
Speaking of cooking on the stovetop....after all that work, guess what I did? Yes, I sautéed chicken and vegetables. The pot you see on the stove was cooking rice. I added fresh tomato pesto to short grain brown rice. Very good. As you can see, I'm not afraid of olive oil!
I have to get moving before I lose my mojo. I'll visit you all later today. Happy Monday!

Happy Monday to you and wow on the cleaning and cooking!
Gatto looks happy too.
e, the hard part is keeping the motivation. I can be a little too willing to let it slip. Gatto is happy. He's also the most trying cat I have known!
That is a big stove, no wonder you are a good cook! That is a big job to clean!
This is a real chef type stove. Impressive.
Far Side, it is hard to keep clean. The glass top shows every little spot!
Boud, I bought the stove, a refrigerator, dishwasher, washer and dryer 23 years ago from a now closed local appliance store. They carried Electrolux and Frigidaire, which is a subsidiary of Electrolux. The only thing I still have is the stove. I hope it lasts as long as I need it because the cost to replace it is now prohibitive.
I am very impressed. Cleaning a stove and oven (even with self cleaning, it only does so much)it is a horrendous job. I think you are the type of person who when you do something you do it well and not half way. I base this on your cooking, your beautiful sewing/designing skills and your pursuit to find answers to your health questions.
Take Care,
Kaye
You definately have your mojo workin'.
Nice stove! I actually wish I had something like that when making jellies and applesauce -- or things like that. That is a beauty.
Cleaning it must be a bear but I love how it looks. Artwork in the kitchen!
Kaye, I agree with that, it is a horrendous job. You are perceptive, I do like things done right. Which has another aspect to it, sometimes I do nothing at all! Thank you for your kind comment.
Lor, for the moment, but I guess that's what counts!
Val, it's very useful for things like that, when you have a lot going on at once. I was proud of the shine!
