NWR: So Frustrated, and Need Advice
So FH and I spent last night moving some more shower gifts in to the apartment and doing some more shelf-papering (STILL not done, ridiculous).
For being such a large kitchen with such a crazy amount of storage, the stove is miniscule. And OLD. Literally from the 60's. Radiant coils. And small....one of those mini stoves, like 2 feet wide, and even though there's 4 burners, you'll never be able to have more than 2 pots/pans going at a time.
So we were a little leery of it, so we made sure to bring our pyrex, lasagna pan, broiler pan, etc. to test if it would fit. There was already a broiler pan in it, but we had our own, and I didn't want to use someone else's pan, ew.
So our pyrex fit fine, it's small. Our lasagna pan fit BARELY, because it has handles that are welded up, not on a hinge to lay flat. It worked better vertically than horizontally.
But our broiler didn't fit at all! Too long, so had to be angled in on a diagonal, and then the door wouldn't shut. It's a 16' x 14' I think, and we're so upset. Now we have to find a smaller pan somewhere, and I'm not sure if BBB or the grocery store would have one small enough to fit. And forget our cookie sheets, they're even bigger than the broiler, so definitely not going to work![]()

If we were the type to live off of takeout, it wouldn't be a big deal, but we're really big in to cooking, so this is definitely upsetting for us. Are there any other girls who currently have or had had a stove/oven of this size, and how did you make it work? Lots of small batches? Cook a little less than anticipated?
