Regarding use of your grill without a lid, I often use a large pot lid over my grill to increase heat/decrease cooking time. For larger items, I have thought about using my wok, but its a pain to clean up from that…. The pot lid is not ideal, but it works.

Good point, DeisCane– due to limited plumbing, only one of our dishwashers is hooked up to the Insinkerator disposal unit, and the other we just wing it in terms of solid waste.

It’s not just the space, though. You need additional water/electric hookups, as most kitchens are only equipped to handle one dishwasher, except in Kosher Xanadu developments…and those already have new stuff anyhow!

I addressed briefly the Fisher Paykel double dishwasher in my initial post’s comments — if you have the space, it’s far cheaper to buy two GE or Maytag dishwashers than to buy a Fisher Paykel divided dishwasher. Double the capacity, too.

Recommendations:

The Maytag Gemini double oven and the Fisher Paykel double dishwasher

Unplugging is a good idea — maybe I’ll give that a shot on Shavuot.

We have done so on Yom Tov yet, but we’ve found that on our gas stove if you push the knob in as you turn it the spark ignition is suppressed.

We made the switch to a gas cooktop as well, and for yomtov we simply unplug it, so as to avoid the electronic ignition.
