Annette - the 90 com width (1.5 standard unit size) rules out the beasts above. I'm looking at up to ?3k but not sure I'll be able to tell the difference between one at 1.5k or that price point if I'm honest. I too quite like a decent NEFF style 5 burner hob and oven. But an extra WARMING OVEN on most range cookers is luring me in. Warm plates. Warm food.

It's right up there with an ice crusher and dedicated wine coolers in the non-essential kitchen-wank stakes...but like GG will I actually use it?

I got one from Currys for ?600 and it has served the test of time ths far.


In fact it was the brushed steel version of this http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/kenwood-ck414-dual-fuel-range-cooker-stainless-steel-and-black-06273932-pdt.html 90cm dual fuel

Depends on what you will be cooking - if you just want to cook oven chips and Iceland pizzas then go for something cheap and shiny, on the other hand if you are the sort of person who thinks nothing of knocking up a hollandaise for your poached quail egg breakfast before work then you probably want something a bit better:


I would go for one of these (in stainless steel obviously)

Curtain, El Pibe - both picked stainless steel - is that the current choice of finish for the hipsters of ED? I'm thinking "hard to clean finger prints"


DB - I like that Falcon but quite like having a window into the ovens for some reason.


Which? rate the Rangemaster 90 but also say that you're never exactly sure what temp the oven is at with it's dial and that would bother me.


It also has a tray for the roast which attaches to the door so you can check it without lifting out of the oven = neat.

I have just moved house and inherited a rangemaster professional - two ovens, separate grill, 5 burners and hot plate thing. I effing love it. Buy one buy one now! It makes doing a Sunday dinner so much easier as you can have one oven slow roasting and the other one at warp speed for yorkshires.
  • 2 months later...

Looking for an oven for the new house. We have a 1200mm gap to fill and they all seem a bit pricey for that.


I found a funky steel cuisine cooker and thought 'that's the one' but nearly died of a heart attack at the ?5,400 price tag.

Can anyone recommend a sexy cooker for your dream house without necessarily breaking the bank?

I think it's a bit late for that now unfortuantely as the walls are going up.


It was originally for La Piba's mum's old aga we were getting reconditioned, but the cost of running those things is

astronomical, plus we've carefully worked out all our heat sources for the houses requirements.


I think we could put in work surfaces at either side of the recess or something, so you could be on to something.


In reality what I'll do is spend 6 months beating myself up about it and finally spending ludicrous sums on the cooker in question else I'll spend the next 15 years walking past the inferior cooker and tutting at myself.

    • @Gingergossip In deed a bit of a joker, totally tongue in cheek, got me and others, well done (check their profile out).   But unfortunately there is a bit of Alf Garnett here, where Warren Mitchell in As Death as Do Part, would say the most outrageous and offensive things.  Effectively mocking and calling out some nasty right wing beliefs.  But sadly some with those beliefs thought he was being serious, As we can see on this thread.
    • We have lots of shoes and need a nice way of organising them! 
    • Invitation to Expectant Parents: Infant Observation Are you due to give birth this September or October? Would you be interested in taking part in an Infant Observation with an NHS honorary psychotherapist?  I am an honorary psychotherapist working with adults in the NHS (Adult Complex Needs, Tavistock Clinic). I need to conduct an Infant Observation as part of my NHS training in psychodynamic psychotherapy. By taking part, you can contribute to mental health services and our understanding of human development from birth. Infant Observation is an established part of psychoanalytic training. It allows for the in-depth study of the early life and development of babies in relation to their caregiver(s) in their home environment. I am looking for expectant parent(s) who would be interested in taking part with their infant from about 6 weeks after birth, ideally beginning Oct/Nov 2025. The observation would take place for one hour each week during term time at the infant's home at the same time each week, to be agreed between myself and the caregiver(s), for the duration of 3 academic terms (roughly 9 months to 1 year). My role would be to non-intrusively observe and reflect on the infant's development and communications. The work is a requirement of my training at the Tavistock and would be supervised by a Tavistock clinician. Parents and caregivers can gain support and insight from taking part at this important and unique time in your baby's development. I work with adults in an Adult Complex Needs unit in the NHS, and at Tavistock Relationships. I have worked in a psychotherapy community for survivors of human rights violations where I helped establish a mother and baby group for refugee and asylum seeking mothers. I have a Phd in Literature & I am a contributor to the London Review of Books. I am working on my first book, a history of childhood. I am coming towards the end of my psychotherapy training having already gained a postgraduate diploma in Psychotherapy from the Tavistock NHS Clinic and University of Essex. If you would be interested in taking part with your infant, please respond to this post. With thanks, Mary Hannity
