Stove/Oven replacement questions
My stove and oven seem to need replacement. I think that they can be
repaired, but they are getting on and the time between repairs is getting shorter - time to consider splashing out! I have quite a few questions and would love any opinions. I'll list them: - Are there any real lemons that I should avoid? - I tried a convection oven a couple of decades ago and it was utterly useless. I see that they are still flogging them, so maybe the technology has improved. Is it worth bothering? - I have a pretty standard (I think) 60cm x 60cm oven to replace. I'd like the cheapest, but best ( of course ), and most reliable oven/ grill combination. I'd like to be able to make pizza's and have good support for long, slow casseroling. Any makes or models stand out particularly? - I'll probably go for a standard four ring stove top. However, I like the idea of induction hobs. I also like ceramic hobs. Has any manufacturer been sensible enough to produce a hybrid with a couple of conventional ceramic hob plates (for glass, aluminum etc.) and a couple of induction plates for cast iron and so forth? If so, who has done this? - If I did decide to go for a full induction hob, what is the solution to pressure cooking? Pretty well all the pressure cookers that I've seen are made of aluminium. Are there any made from materials that work in induction plates? |

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the French brand "SEB" make stainless steel pressure cookers, as I have had one for a number of years, There are others too, that can be found through Google. |

Are there any made from materials that work in induction plates? My pressure cooker is stainless steel. I had no trouble finding a new Presto stainless steel pc at Walmart when the time came to finally replace our old one. I won't cook in Aluminum. -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails.

The grill element gets dirty and produces a lot of smoke. - I'll probably go for a standard four ring stove top. However, I like the idea of induction hobs. I also like ceramic hobs.

If so, who has done this? I've no experience of induction hobs. I chose a gas hob because I like the ability to control the heat and it still works when there's a power cut. M |
