Question about electric range oven

[MercuryJones]

Mine has a Sabbath Mode, intended to allow the range to be used by Sabbath-observant Jews on the Sabbath and Jewish holidays.

(In Sabbath mode, the standard automatic shutoff is overridden, allowing observant Jews to begin or plan a heat cycle the day before.)

Is the bottom drawer for storage of pots and pans?

I store my pot lids there.

I have another question.

Do electric ovens take a very long time to cool down or does mine maybe have a problem?

Yes, it takes some time to cool down.

In theory, ours mostly holds cat hair.

We've noticed this too.

Even though ours is actually also a warming drawer.

Ours is "where the baking sheets and roasting pans are". Although they tend to shift around and wedge themselves in there a bit too tight.

I abandoned cooking (and heating water) with gas soon after I moved here years ago, because gas lines don't run out here. I kept having to get refills on cylinders every so often. Twice forgetting to get refills before the gas ran out was just doo often for me.

When I changed to an electric water heater, I had a switch installed, so that I can heat water only when necessary.

However, my office (in a separate structure) is heated with propane [gas].

Anyone have an induction range? I've been thinking about buying one to replace my electric one. I usually cook with iron skillets, and induction works well with them because they are magnetic. But inductions are also much more expensive.
