Curried butternut squash soup. That’s what one makes with the contents of the weekly surprise package. Problem is the contents have been nearly identical for two weeks now so I don’t think I’ll order one tomorrow.
My oven has been giving me fits for over a year now. First it ran really hot, like 100-150 degrees above the setting. So I bought an oven thermometer. The daily question was “what is 350 degrees today?” It was always a surprise. Now it’s fluctuating, I open the door after I get the temp right then it goes down 50-75 degrees.
I actually had a three pound chicken in there for two hours and the juices looked good and the skin was crispy but the breast was raw. No, I don’t normally cook a 3# chicken that long but it’s very frustrating to try to keep a failing oven at the temp I want it to be. Now I can’t even cook a stew in there because it may be raw when I take it out three hours later.
Do you remember the cute commercials with the Lonely Maytag Repair Man? Well, they’re not lonely any more. I looked up the manual and they had a number for warranty service. This range is no longer under warranty so I looked them up online. I called the service number and was on hold for ten minutes. When a human answered, she asked if I wanted to buy a new range. She said I called “Sales” and got rid of me in a heartbeat transferring me to “Service” without giving a number. They told me the wait would be over ten minutes. So I sent an email with my phone number and someone is supposed to call me in three days. I’m not holding my breath.
What ever happened to customer service? Having a working oven is important for a cook. I’m changing menus to be able to cook on the stove. It just doesn’t make any sense. Hope you’re having a better day. Dee
