Gas cooker recommendations?

2 replies

Hi all
I'm looking to get a new gas oven, to go in a 60cm gap between two low kitchen cupboards (so freestanding I guess).
I'm assuming a 60cm oven would need more space at the sides than I actually have? I'm in a terraced house and it will be sited against an interior wall.

I wondered if anyone has any recommendations for a suitable oven? I'm looking for something with a grill, two ovens (not just a lower oven/upper grill cavity) and a hob.

I've been looking a bit online but keep getting well alarmed by reviews of things from under cooking to burning down kitchens, along with comments about ventilation spacing requirements being impossible.

Any recommendations would be massively welcomed - thanks in advance! X

I think 60cm is fine as a spacing (you'd see a width of 59 on the cooker) but when I was shopping for ovens last year we got told by the engineers that because gas cookers are on their way out for climate change targets- the current models are not as future proofed or easy to repair. My mother told me I was being ridiculous to listen (and bought a massive gas cooker) only to have it break in 18m and be unrepairable because they don't make the parts any more. Lots of people are anti-electric ovens but they are easier to install and repair and have fewer requirements

Not intended as a don't buy one (choose what you're happy cooking on!), but why it might be getting harder to fine one that's suitable:
