Oven advice?

Zirax · 21-09-2008, 13:12

I'm after a new oven for my house and I don't really have a clue. I currently have a Beko electric oven which isn't fan assisted and is generally crap.

Now I'm after a gas hob and oven, ideally a floor standing unit which has the hob built in. Price wise as cheap as possible as it will be there for a couple of years at most until the kitchen is done

Reason I'm asking for help is, are there dodgy makes in cookers? I won't buy Beko again as I know they are crap...... should I be looking for something in particular?

This is the duel fuel of what I have.

It is actually what I first ordered but because of electrical stuff they couldn't fit it

But the plain gas version is great and I loves it

When I was looking around for an oven I can't say I remember being told of things to stay clear of, but it was a while ago.

We have a belling cookcenter and it's pretty awesome (and huuuuuuuuuuuge!) Very shexay!!

I've been lucky enough to have been spoiled a bit for ovens and hobs in my time. Other than a diddy little cooker we had donkey yonks ago we've always been lucky to have a big range jobbys. I love them. Though for two - possibly not necessary as you don't utilise it all generally (great at christmas though and when entertaining!)

I have to admit... after having both electric and gas hobs/ovens in the past I think the best combo is electric fanned oven and gas hob. I've always found that electric fanned ovens always cook more evenly and doesn't tend to dry stuff out (sounds backwards but I know what I mean!) I am now slightly partial to belling hobs though. They are the mutts nuts! Rangemasters are quite legendary too in my estimates.

Other than that I canny offer much advice! Good luck

To be fair, as much as I ripped the piss out of him over the gas/electric thing, he did spend the best part of 30 years testing the things and i'm more than willing to take his word on the fact that those cookers are badly built heaps of crap.

More so due to the fact that him losing his job was because manufacture of those brands was being moved to Poland or something so they could be built even cheaper than they were already.
