To want to know where all the gas ovens have gone??

[RevoltingPeasant]

DH and I moved house recently and we need a new oven, as the current one makes an odd roaring noise when the grill is used and also the seals on the door have gone so badly that last night DH actually sat on the floor holding the door closed whilst our dinner cooked.

I told him we'd laugh about it one day.....

Anyhow we are looking for a gas oven, but there only seem to be three brands available, most reviews (eg Which) are pretty uninspiring, and they all seem much smaller than electric ovens.

I always thought most people in this country had gas ovens, but AIBU to think it's quite hard to find a decent one now?

Gosh when did this pop up again?

Hi 17leftfeet,

I've seen the CDA gas cookers, but couldn't see any reviews.

I was going to purchase a candy one, but I will have a look at CDA.

Thanks all again.

I would love gas. I grew up with a gas oven and the wonderful eye level grill, moved to the sticks where there is no mains gas and have to put up with shitty electric. A gas oven cooks so much better than electric.

I've got a cda gas oven from homebase -lovely big oven with a gas grill too

Had it 6 months and I'm really pleased with it

Gwendoline, what is the make of your gas fan oven please?

Thanks.

[Worriedkat]

Kitchenmaster here, gas hob electric oven.

If you have an induction hob I thought you need to buy all special saucepans as normal pans won't work?

[GwendolineMaryLacey]

Gas fan oven here and my cakes are bloody marvellous. :)

If you end up with a secondhand gas cooker

oh don't! I looong for a gas oven with an eye-level grill (whose idea was it to put the grill down low so you cant keep an eye on what's grilling??)

I've had a convection hob for an age and it is pants. You can clean it easily, granted, but it is just crap to cook on. Wok, for instance.

If anyone has a secondhand gas cooker with an eye-level grill in your garage, I'll have it. (TIA)

I am having the same problem at the moment.

I'm renovating my kitchen and need to get a new gas cooker and there are limited number of brands. Also, most brands have gas ovens with electric grills.

Has anyone heard/used a Candy gas oven. Also, if you're using a gas oven what brand is it and is it reliable and easy to use/clean?

Thanks.

We've just gone from a belling gas oven to a neff fan oven. The neff is a dream to cook with and clean.
I've done a perfect roast duck tonight and made beautiful moist cakes this afternoon.

Have a good look at the specs of electric ovens, some of the new ones are designed to be able to run on a standard 13Amp plug. Much cheaper to have an extra socket put in than you consumer unit upgraded to run a cooker feed.

My mum had an electric fan oven in a house she was renting, we all (mum, me and sis) hated it and have all gone back to gas as soon as we got the chance. There seems to be plenty of choice unless you are awkward like me and want an eye-level grill.

If you don't mind a bit of industrial chic and don't have tiny children a refitted exprofessional cooker might do the job. Professional kitchens usually use gas because it is more controllable. But it isn't the look everyone wants!

I think bakers usually swear by gas - Dan Lepard bangs on about it, because of the moist heat issue.

Otherwise if you can take out a unit next to your cooker we love our gas Rangemaster, but their smallest width is 90cm and I'm guessing you want 60cm (and thinking about they all come with diddy electric ovens too which rather defeats the point for you - lovely cookers though, can thoroughly recommend them).

Gas is also much more efficient than electricity, so it is still greener to go with gas. If you end up with a secondhand gas cooker you could probably offset a fair few takeaways...

There's a hotpoint in the middle, and a couple of Zanussi's in the link at the bottom of the type I think you want?

[SomethingOnce]

Because there is fuel (gas) being burnt, producing carbon dioxide and water.

Check out Baumatic cookers/ovens

And what on earth makes you think gas is a "moist" heat?

[CreatureRetorts]

Gas ovens do not cook cakes properly.

My fan oven does - you have it on a lower temp.

I also hav an induction hob.

Both are awesome.
