Indeed. Most people do not cook that much. Or care that much about what
they eat.

Back a few years ago, it was "cool" or "chic" to have a real restaurant
range in your kitchen. Browse through several of the older Kitchen design
books.

Once the look caught on, the practicality in installing a real commercial
range daunted folks desiring the "look."

Enter the "professional style range."
