Never buying Hotpoint again!
1/5
Not happy with this product at all. Previously owned a very similar Hotpoint cooker which was brilliant so went for a like for like thinking it would be great - wrong!! The cooker and grill are only energy efficient because they turn on and off whilst cooking. I had an engineer come out thinking it was faulty as food always needed to cook for a lot longer than it should - chips are soggy not crispy, cakes do not rise properly, chicken comes out raw inside if only cooked for the stated cooking time. The energy rating is based on how much electricity it uses with a certain time frame so gives a false reading because the cooker needs to be on longer. If using the grill for cooking sausages or chops be prepared to cook for a long time as this too cuts off to "save energy" so cooking stops while this is happening.
