Our gas is off after a tree fell on our garage a few weeks ago. Our son brought over an Induction Cooktop for us to use until the gas stove is back on. It works!!!
Sorry to hear you are still without your gas stove/oven, Ditter. How much longer until everything is fixed and back to normal? Hopefully, soon.
You have the same prep job that my hubby has....chopper and clean up. When I recently canned a ton of plum jam, he was the pitter. (He was really sick of seeing plums, there for a while. Me, too :)
