If your other half to be is terrified of anything digital, should you get a digital oven? I agree that as long as the oven beeps and the temperature button or pressure point can be located, you should be OK. Before I would buy a digital oven, though, I would make sure that the oven does beep. I have heard that some do not. If possible, I would try one before you buy one if they have a display model. I would hate to buy one and then discover that I could not use it adequately. --- Shepherds are the best beasts, but Labs are a close second. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Debbra Piening" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2012 9:08 AM Subject: Re: [CnD] Setting a digital oven. > Tom, please let us know how this works out.
