After 25 years of having to move house, I sill mourn the loss of my four oven dark green Aga! It is pathetic!
For 20 years we had a bog standard (mains) gas hob/electric oven cooker and a large Westinghouse oven.
Here, I repeated the cooker exercise but with Calor for the hob and we inherited a Rayburn. Fiesta vs Bentley! As well as the brace of hobs and ovens, it also houses the boiler. The racket which the latter makes means radios cannot be heard, conversation stops and the telephone certainly cannot be used! Yes, it kept the kitchen warm but it is hideously expensive to run (oil). Bought an oil filled radiator for the kitchen and will get electric blankets and throws for everywhere else! Oh, and an air fryer is a godsend - look out for the bargains - mine does pressure cooking, slow cooking, roasting, steaming & will probably dry your socks if you ask it!! Ninja - under £100.
