Gas Hobs

TheCatWoman

Just a quick question to those who know these things, we're going to have to replace out gas hob, the one we have now is old, probably a good 25 years old and probably more, are the fittings still the same or will it involve a load of new pipe work?

I'm sticking with gas rather than electric as we have quite a few power cuts round here and I want to be able to have a hot drink and meals etc without having to keep a campling stove as a back up.

I'd quite like to go for a whole new cooker, with a seperate grill, the grill is in the oven of our current oven and will only work if the door is shut, so it's unused as stuff gets burnt and you can't get small things like toast near enough to the element to make it worth bothering with. Do'es anyone know if this is normal or are there any double oven/grill stoves that allow you to make toast on the grill without it taking 20 mins and having to have the door shut?

    I think it is usual to keep the door shut. I  have a Bosch gas hob with an electric oven. Although the oven is a single incorporating a grill, it has multiple zonal and fan settings which make it energy efficient for grilling small to large sized dishes, without excessive use of electricity. I do keep the door shut when grilling, but I don’t know how long it would take to grill toast as I prefer to use the toaster for that. 

    I know you hate looking for things online, but if you searched for ‘gas cookers with gas hob UK’, you might bring up a selection of stores that stocked such cookers and you would see what grill features are available.

    You could also try ‘Currys’, Appliances Direct, Argos, Robert Dyas and Euronics.
