What kind of oven do you have?

My mom has this old oven in which she still makes cookies and roasts and whatever. Others prefer a new oven, a good reason would be that a new one doesn't burn the food... :)
What do you think?
Do you still have an old one and you are extra careful or do you have a new one?

I have a two-year-old gas oven that is just about the worst oven ever made. The temperature gauge is about 50 degress off, and it cooks really really unevenly-- and in an unpredictable way! It took me several months to work out its quirks so I could make cookies.

I had an Aunt that complained about her oven being off temperature and how it was a hassle to try to cook. I asked her why she didn't change the setting on the knob. She looked at me funny so I walked over to her stove, pulled the knob off, and showed her the inside of the knob....there is a plastic or metal plate that can be turned to "tune" it to the proper temperature. You might want to check your own oven dial.

I have a 70's electric stove and I wish I had gas which is more controllable temperature-wise. I also have a GF Grill, a GF Rotisserie, portable convection oven, microwave oven, and indoor electric grill. I'm ready for anything that hits my fancy.

We have a normal old oven.
We use it until these days and it is quite a good one. It doesn't burn food, it doesn't even look old. My wife sees to that :)
It has some years but we still rely on it since it i a good brand and we didn't have problems with it.
We also have a microwave. It is very useful when heating pizza :)

I have an old one, it used to be my moms..
I cannot afford a new one at the moment so this one will have to do for me.
It's not very good, it burns the cakes on the bottom and i hate it for that, but on the other hand it's all i have and until i will afford to buy a new one, this one will do.

I actually just put in a commercial oven (http://www.foodservicewarehouse.com/Equipment.Ovens) with my kitchen re-model. It is wonderful when trying to cook for a large party. I also have a microwave, but it is pretty much shot (I think I've had it since college...), so I am actually looking to buy a new one. If anyone has any suggestions about what microwaves last the longest, it would be much appreciated.

I have a nine-year-old electric oven in my apartment kitchen that works fine. The dial was off by 25 degrees according to the oven thermometer. I didn't know that you could adjust the dial until I read a post above. Thanks, I'm adjusting the oven dial now.

I have an electric full size oven and a smaller counter top convection/convectional/roaster oven that I use at home.

I really miss cooking with the gas convection ovens in the kitchen I used to run. So much nicer to use.
