When we bought our first house, I had an electric cooker which we bought. When we had the kitchen re-fitted/built/done, I got a cooker with a gas hob and electric fan oven, which I thought was brilliant. However, we bought our current house on the strength of the garden, but a closely run second was the Rayburn. We had decided to have a Rayburn or Aga anyway, but this one has a 1970s Rayburn, which was run on oil when we moved in. Mr L converted it back to solid fuel, and we have never looked back. I could/would not return to gas or electricity; I like my cooker to have soul! We were given about 6 months by a lot of people, who expected us to go back to oil, or at least buy an electric cooker as well. No chance. Wouldn't have anything else now. It heats the water and the house; yes, it can be temperamental, but then, can't we all? I cook/use it according to how it decides it is going to run that day.
The only other cooker I would consider would be an Esse cooker (brought up on that, albeit oil; I believe you can get solid fuel ones), or a proper woodstove. |
