First choice cooker unavailable, excellent substitute.
5/5
My first choice replacement range cooker was no longer available, and I am delighted with my alternative choice. It is very close to my specifications eg dual fuel, separate grill, 2 ovens, and storage compartment. Many range cookers have a very large oven on the right hand size, ideal for batch baking etc, but I did not want or need this, and am happy with 2 smaller ovens.
It seems a good solid well made cooker, except for grill pan, which has extremely sharp edges and a useless handle.(I am using my old grill pan). The grill heats up more quickly than old cooker, and upstand on shelf makes it easy to position food correctly under grill.
All the controls are clear and easy to read and use, but ignition takes longer than expected and I have had to get used to this.
The fan oven is in the top right position, opposite to my previous cooker, and so is much more convenient to use. Both ovens have good choices of shelf positions, and the side supports for shelves are easy to remove for cleaning. Based on previous oven both new ovens seem to take much longer than expected to reach set temperature, need to remember to turn on well before needed.
Storage space is a good size for meat tins, baking trays etc. The hob is easy to clean and the pan supports are solid and stable. Would have been happy with 5 burners and pan stand on right, but am sure I will get used to 7 burners and no pan stand!
Very pleased with this cooker, versatile and easy to use. Also very good value for money.
