  • Is there a kitchen thread? If not why etc.

    Our oven is doing death rattles and not much else.

    New kitchen is on the list but no way are we going to fit it in before Christmas. It's currently a kind of electric smeg range thing left by previous owners - 80cm wide with built in gas hob. Plan for a new kitchen was to have a single long piece of surface with separate hob and built under oven (largely because I hate having gaps down the side of the cooker/units). What workaround can I do that involves buying an oven and being able to cook actual non-hob food now? I have some spare work surface but no router or anything to get it cut to size for a hob. I'd also rather not have to pay someone to come in and fit it until I start getting paid from the projects I've worked on this/last month.

    I don't want to buy twice so I don't really want to buy a small portable oven to sit on the work top.

  • If you get an oven with a total rating <3000W there's a fair chance it'll come with a 13A plug and you can use it as a freestanding appliance without much fuss.

    Likewise there are induction hobs that are limited to 13A simultaneous load and come with a normal plug and will work ok freestanding.

    (I'm assuming you'll be careful finding something solid to stand them on, not blocking ventilation holes, etc)
