Not a necessity so much as a convenience. There is also an oven in the
(included with the home) flat top electric stove. With the Hotpoint double,
though, I already am familiar with the features (many) and (few) foibles.
Amazingly the analogue clock/timer both works and is accurate.

Not enough room for the kitchen I'd like to have and still keep the house
looking "right" for the size of the lot and the neighbourhood. I'd be more
likely to build a "spec" house similar to the homes being built by Habitat for
Humanity.
