However, still interesting. We had a 'Baby Belling' in our student
flat when we were first married- we lived in one of the few halls of
residence with places for married students.

We have a fully functional Baby Belling sitting in the garage. It came
in really handy when the fancy newish cooker decided to emit magic smoke.

We used one for 2 years and have several funny memories of culinary
events surrounding it. The oven was 'challenged' by anything requiring a
high temperature- eg getting good roast potatoes and the temperature
control was erratic to say the least.

Half way through cooking Sunday lunch, the original one emitted
a loud bang and the main circuit breaker for the whole floor in the
block 'went'. The hall warden decided to test it, 'Just to see if it did
it again.' The second bang was even louder. Fortunately, he produced
another Baby Belling from a store room and cooking of lunch resumed. In
time we learned the 'new' one was quite different (despite being the
same model) to the original.

Nearly 40 years on we still joke about some of the Baby Belling culinary
events in the kitchen where you could stand in the middle and touch all
four walls.
