  • thanks for the tips all.

    does anyone have any strong feelings on gas vs dual fuel when it comes to cookers?

    we're about to move and need new white goods as we chucked our old shit in with our flat.

    I have a sneaking suspicion our new place doesn't have a proper cooker switch and every double oven cooker I've looked at pulls more than the 3kw limit for a normal plug socket by quite some margin.

    gas ovens kinda scare me as i'm only used to the old deathtrap style ones that never lit properly from my poverty childhood but i'm not sure if an all gas oven (or one with just an electric grill that is ok to plug in) would be just as good if not better than gas hob/electric oven?

  • Any particular reason you want a double oven? An alternative could be a single oven and a microwave with an oven for when you need the two ovens.

    I've used a few gas ovens in holiday places and the like and, although they no longer seem to have singe your eyebrows lighting, they didn't seem to cook that well.

  • one of my biggest annoyances when cooking is needing to put two things in the oven at different temperatures and having to just wing everything to try and undercook one for longer and overcook the other shorter.

    I've also finally got the hang of the old frying pan pizza technique recently and I think having a smaller oven cavity for the grill will help with temps as well as quicker preheating time. I'm not really a roast dinner kind of person so dont really need one massive oven.

    a combi microwave would give similar utility but they only go up to 220c assuming all the sockets are on the same ring I may also run into load issues running effectively two ovens at the same time anyways.

    if gas is a load of shite for oven cooking i'll probably stick with a single oven but surprisingly options for dual fuel freestanding cookers with just one oven are quite limited.
