Gas ovens are bollocks (though not as shit as oil burner ones. Fuck that noise).
Internal temperatures are way too variable within the oven - Leccy & fan, every teim.
I'm a convert to induction hobs too, and our new kitchen with be leccy all the way. Gas just doesn't have the same functionality, and the perceived downsides for induction don't actually seem to exist in reality.
Double ovens ftw. You have to be able to bake a pie at the same time as roasting potatoes.

If I could do one thing differently in my kitchen it would be to buy a range cooker with two ovens. As much as I love having the space for sunday roasts, and christmas cooking, always feels like a waste of heat/energy to fire it up just to make some cheese on toast or alternative small grilling event.

this is the sort of input I was looking for.
the thing about induction hobs that worries me is it feels like there's plenty of scope for certain brands/models to make absolute shit ones making it a mine field and we don't really have the income to replace if it sucks. all i'm worried about really is instant direct heat that's easily adjustable. our old cooker had ceramic hobs that moved at a glacial pace and it was the most miserable experience cooking anything so i can't face that again.

Says the person that doesn't light sparklers off their gas rings!

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?
