Forum Friday: A wide "range" of opinions
It's time for another weekly summary of our timeliest forum discussions. This week and next, we'll serve up tales of how well appliances are able to stand the heat during demanding Thanksgiving conditions.
With more than 350 discussions, ranges reign as one of the busiest topics in our appliances form. Browsing or searching for contributors' takes on particular models could save you a lot of grief when it's time to brown and baste.
One discussion poster ended up barbecuing her turkeys after her oven gave out at the worst possible time; others have had mixed success with double ovens.
Our ratings of ranges (available to subscribers) include results of our exhaustive testing and access to dozens of real-world user reviews in each category.
If you're tempted to try a turkey fryer, "'Deep-Fry' Your Turkey Without Oil" describes in fiery detail what happens when proper safety procedures are ignored.
Essential information: Don't miss these many other ways to have a thrifty and tasty Thanksgiving. And feel free to share your own turkey related tips and tricks below.

The information and research on kitchen ranges does not cover enough information. Missing are informaton about:
- convection vs nonconvection ovens,
-electronic vs manual switches,
-cooktop types; durability, advantages/problems of use, and availability of various cooktop types (smooth top, coil top, gas, induction smooth top),
-differences in quality of materials used, thus a new way to look at reliability.
