cannon cooker-perfect for small spaces,attractive

Advantages: attractive, compact size
Disadvantages: low quality hobs, handle to bread tray fixed on.

...This was gifted to me from my dad when i moved in to my new place. its a nice attractive looking cooker in black and silver.its a gr8 compact size making it ideal for flats, small kitchens. its handy having the grill on its own which just pulls open, it comes with a chrome shelf. the oven is a good size for a small family. it has 2 shelves and when switched on the lights go on too so u can see whats hapnin inside. the bread tray has one problem i cant take off the handle its screwed on-how am i suppose to toast those breds. when the handle pokes out and the door doesnt close. it has a timer function which i dont bother using. the gas hobs are not of gr8 quality, my mum has similar cheap looking hobs which are a nightmare to clean. they have to be soaked in a cleaner to get rid of stains. i like the fact its gt a splashback which is...

Review of Cannon C 50

Double Oven 60cm Gas Cooker

Advantages: Easy to clean and very smart looking.
Disadvantages: Oven racks quite difficult to pull out. No oven light.

...I purchased this cooker in white. I paid £269.95 but most suppliers seem to be selling it for £500+ so I think perhaps mine was priced wrongly as it certainly seems more like a £500 cooker than a cheaper model. It is a very smart looking cooker and easy to keep clean. It has double glass panels to both ovens which are extremely easy to wipe clean as is the smoked glass lid. The burners are very neat looking and the pan supports keep even the smallest of pans stable. Being 60cm the oven is a generous size and the hotplate easily accommodates four full size pans at once. I find the grill very fast and when only cooking on one shelf the top oven is more than adequate. The self cleaning oven really does self clean. The shelves in the main oven are a bit difficult to remove but I think this may just be due to it being new. The oven does...

Review of Belling G744 Gas Cooker

I love it!

Advantages: Cooks everything to perfection, cleans well, looks the business, it's SILVER
Disadvantages: The glass lid is smeary

...description. Can I suggest you try Powerhouse?' Powerhouse the ELECTRIC people, that is... As he was breaking the bad news I happened to glance behind me at the cooker I was leaning against and guess what? It was a silver gas cooker with low level grill and different sized burners... and the idiot in Currys was looking straight at it! I won't go into a full scale rant against Currys now, that is definitely saved for another review, because I'm here today to extol the virtues of my new cooker. The Cannon Oakley. Sounds a bit country kitchen doesn't it? But it's not, it looks trendy. The picture above just doesn't do it justice, the doors to the grill and oven are a matt silver colour with slightly smoked glass. The doors both have a thick horizontal handle in the same matt silver colour, the perfect thickness for my hands to grip...

The Names Bond Museum Keswick

Advantages: Interesting if you like James Bond
Disadvantages: If you don't like Bond its not for you

...I visited the museum in June this year whilst having a short break in the Lakes with my other half. Unfortunately it rained most of the time (but hey I expect that now when I visit the Lakes!) so on one rainy day we drove up from Windermere to visit the Bond Museum in Keswick. I must admit we did this originally because we thought it would pass a few hours and most importantly keep us dry! I thought it would be a bit boring to be honest, but couldn?t come up with another plan so my other half won. I can however report that I was pleasantly surprised and, shock horror, actually enjoyed the experience! A Bit of Museum Background The James Bond Museum is a relatively new attraction in Keswick, opening in April 2009. The collection at the museum has been put together by James Bond fanatic, Peter Nelson...

Review of The Bond Museum, Keswick

Cooking Crumpet for a Tasty Dish!

Advantages: Cheap, safe from kids, good value
Disadvantages: Oven does explode

...ORIGINALLY WRITTEN September 2000 I purchased an Electrolux 50 cm s/steel gas cooker from Currys a few months ago. Although cheap in price I have been quite impressed. It has 4 gas burners, combined oven & gas, electrical hob ignition + storage drawer. The dimensions are height 90 cm, width 50 cm, depth 60 cm. I paid £179.95 for it. There was an additional charge of £60 to disconnect + remove my old cooker. I took out 5 years insurance with Mastercare costing £65. Cheaper insurance is available. Note that if the cooker breaks down in the first year you get a free refund. Also only a small percentage of appliances break down in the first 5 years of use. You need a gas lighter to light the oven. The gas lighters are quite cheap at around £3 an unit. All you need to clean the cooker top is washing up liquid and some warm water...

Review of Electrolux Gas Cooker

British Gas

Advantages: gas seems fine
Disadvantages: telephone nightmare

...British Gas I felt I had to write this review after having to deal with this company for the first time and being pretty disappointed. Having moved into a new flat and coming from a flat where all the bills were included in the rent meaning never having to deal with all these companies and now having to set up all the new accounts for things such as electricity, gas and water I found this company particularly tiresome to deal with. We were meant to phone up on the day we moved in to the new flat and pass over all the readings on the meters and the correct information to set up new accounts and the such like. I had no problems at all when contacting the water supplier and the electricity supplier but when it came to the gas this was more of a problem that I could of dreamed. After phoning up the main line for British...

Review of British Gas

What to look for in a gas cooker

Advantages: Cheaper than electricity, faster, good range of cookers
Disadvantages: None

...appliances. They often have very poor parts availability. Check it has a Gas Council number (for UK customers). This is a safety standard. Very often foreign imports don't have Gas Council registration and are not as reliable. They can still be sold in the UK, though. The choice between an eye-level grill and a waist-level is entirely a matter of personal taste. Remember the cooker will hopefully last you a long time, though, and as you get older it is more difficult to bend. Eye-level grills leave space below the oven for a storage drawer, which is usually spacious and will hold a lot of pans. Waist-levels are preferred by people with fitted kitchens, who want all the work-surfaces to be the same height. We have a waist-level cooker, because my wife prefers them, but I wouldn't have one out of choice. I have found them to be problematical...

Review of Member Advice on Gas Cookers

Cannon Hall Farm.... fab day out for all the family!

Advantages: Lots to do, reasonable prices, interaction with animals
Disadvantages: Roaming goats!

...What is Cannon Hall Farm? Cannon Hall Farm is a fully functioning, working farm set in the Pennine hills in Barnsley. It is an award winning farm, and offers a great day out for the family. It is situated adjacent to Cannon Hall - however having never been in here as they don't allow pushchairs, I am unable to review this. My review will be solely on Cannon Hall Farm. Access It is 10 minutes off Junction 37 on the M1. The farm is signposted, and once you have reached Cannon Hall there is a large car park there, or you can follow the signs to "open farm" to be parked near to the Farm. There are 100s of car parking spaces, and there are disabled car parking spots which are located near the entrance. There is a parking attendant who will show you where to park after he has taken the fee from you. The car...
