Maybe I was making the painting of the undersides of the stove's panels
with black enamel and allowing it to show at the seams sound more elegant

Does she have a specific complaint about missing features? Or perhaps

The dual oven set-up I had at the tin can was nice. I catered Thanksgiving

bird in the big (bottom) oven and the sides in the smaller upper unit.

Did this on the cook-top using goose fat from the roasing bird ....
