Ovens - fan, fan-assisted, multi function???

Had a Neff double fan oven in our last house and loved it, so replaced the old oven in this house with a Neff without a second thought.

Neff fan oven here as well.
Best one ever.

Indeed, callgirl ?

Lager assisted could make for some interesting recipes!

Larger, not lager!

Mine is a gorenje double oven. The top oven is smaller, houses the grill and is not fan assisted. The lower oven is lager and fan assisted. ( Though there is the option to not use the fan). I tend to use the smaller oven the most often, but it's handy having both. Easy to keep clean. Happy with it.

The only thing I don`t like about my new kitchen is the fact that the grill is now inside the oven. I`ve had a couple of near misses with things setting on fire under the grill, so have invested in a George Foreman, but me and George still haven`t come to an understanding regarding sausages and the charring of!

Mines a Neff had it for a year ~splendid

In addition to cookers and ovens, every kitchen needs an electric wok if you really want to make good stir-fry dishes. I am sure if you get one of the Top 6 best electric woks, you will really like it. Remember, before you buy anything it is good to check the reviews of a particular product and the seller so as you don't end up regretting.

Have now cooked two Sunday Roasts in the new Neff cooker. I kept to Delia's timings, just adjusting the temperatures. Great results. I'm really impressed. My DH did not have such success when I went away for the weekend. Being a man, he didn't read the instruction booklet which I had left him and managed to burn his steak pie by turning the top oven to 'Grill'. After that I think he turned to the microwave. I love my new kitchen, especially the high level cooker. The light stays on while the food is being cooked and it's brilliant being able to keep an eye on the food without grovelling on the floor.
I am that 'Happy Bunny'.

Thanks for all your thoughts. We went to an amazing place called 'Built in Appliances' in Liverpool. We must have been there for nearly two hours. DH swears it was nearer to three. It's enormous and has a fantastic range of 'white goods' - built in and freestanding. If you live in the Northwest it's really worth the trip there. They have every make you can think of including Rangemaster and Aga plus ones I hadn't heard of. Quite a few special offers around.
Eventually I decided on a Neff multi function double oven and a Bosch hob The top oven is conventional and has a grill. Can't remember if you can use half of it. Let DH choose the sink and taps as that's his area. He refuses to contemplate a dishwasher. Also got quite a stylish glass cooker hood and splash back.
Kitchen isn't happening until mid Feb as we're having a 'Big Trip' in January. Have already started sorting out cupboards. Not sure if I'm most excited about trip or kitchen. Lucky girl!!

Have used fan ovens since they first came out, and now possess a Neff double oven (bottom with fan, top smaller oven non-fan but has grill) and I absolutely love it.
Always cooked with gas, but since moving out of town and having no gas supply run in, moved onto electricity using induction hob and have never looked back. Even faster to control than a gas ring, super to keep clean and pretty wonderful in every way!

We've just had our kitchen refitted (hoping it will see us out) and chose a range-type oven, one normal width with fan etc. and a half width oven without fan and with rotisserie. There are five gas rings on top, one being suitable for a wok. It's a CDA in stainless steel. I find having a half width oven quite good for saving on electricity. I seem to use it most of the time instead of the full width one. I really like this oven.

My old-but-loved oven is conventional (no fan). It doesn't cook quite as quickly as my daughters' fan ovens, but my clothes do not smell of cooking food after doing the Sunday dinner, like theirs' does.

IYSWIM. (it's very badly phrased. never mind) and I don't know if that apostrophe is needed, or not.

I use a combination oven, 4 ring gas hob - which will shortly be changed to something more economical - and a pressure cooker (which I would not be without).

But, geekygran pyrolitic ovens don't clean the hob or grill!

I think in the case of mine it means I should turn the heat up to max and fill the house with smoke every so often. See above for the make. I guess Which do reports on these things.

IMO, the most important thing to look for is a 'self-cleaning' oven, I think they are called pyrolytic.

If there are only two of you at home I would not go for a large all-singing all-dancing oven - just a medium sized one with fan assist (although the fan on mine seems to make little difference) for when the family visit.

I do all my cooking in a mini oven and in the Remoska - that way we do not heat up a whole oven for one casserole or whatever and we save on power.

But, do not make my mistake of having the oven down low beneath the hob - I have dreadful trouble getting things out because of my dodgy back.

We have just moved into a house and have inherited a dodgy old fitted double oven that sounds like a tractor and burns things to a crisp. We previously had a Neff eye level double oven with a circotherm fan system and all sorts of other multifunctions. It was wonderful, self cleaning, and never let me down and I can't wait to get my hands on another one. The only thing it didn't have - and I would recommend it in any cooker - is a grill which has a half width function, so you aren't heating the whole grill for, say, one chop or a piece of fish.

My Falcon range cooker has two ovens - one multi function and one fan only. The best things (and I would never want to be without) are the defrost setting, which is brilliant, and the fact that the shelves can be pulled out without tipping for basting etc. Wish I had a glass door.

Small house, small kitchen, minimal requirements: multi-function Bosch oven and four-ring gas hob. Just right for me.

I've got a Rangemaster range cooker which has 4 gas rings of various sizes plus a wok ring, a tall electric fan oven (which I try to use most often) a grill and a standard gas oven. It works for me but is absolutely filthy and costs a fortune when I treat myself to having it cleaned!

I have two Neff single ovens side by side at eye level. They have the doors that slide away inside, easy to get up close. I like fan ovens but DH prefers conventional, he says it cooks better.. utter tosh.

Rangemaster range cooker with one fan assist oven with glass door and a full length oven with many racks and a spit, that I can batch bake in. Five hobs on top and a split grill for efficiency. A dream to clean.
