We are planning on replacing our useless electric cooker (takes
forever to heat to temp) and unreliable combimicrowave with a new
range cooker with 2 seperate ovens. We currently use the oven in our
combi microwave 90% of the time, as it heats up so much faster.
Especialy great for cooking childrens supper etc.

We therefore want a new cooker which has 2 ovens (of diff. sizes) but
have not found any which are dual fuel with fan in both ovens. Do
these exist? As the smaller oven will be used more, we are after a
fan
in that compartment, but preferably in the larger area too.

Alternatively, we have had great problems deciding between gas vs
electric ovens (gas hob goes without saying!) and we have eventually
decided (with help from friends and internet research) that electric
oven will heat up quicker than gas. Does anyone have any differences
of opinion here? We are not against gas oven as we had fantastic
experience previously with them, I just wonder if electric ovens are
now better and heat faster...

Any thoughts/ comments would be much appreciated as the longer it
take
for us to decide, the longer we go on using an unreliable combimicro!

Many thanks
Rebecca

Hi Rebecca, It makes a difference on how much you are willing to spend
to what you will get. With cookers it is usually you get what you pay
for. If you had the money I would buy an Aga Masterchef which has 2
electric ovens, halagen grill, 100c mini oven/warmer and 5 burners.
One of the burners is for a griddle and double lengh and another is a
high power wok burner. I have used one of these ovens and they are
really good. The main benefit is they do heat quicker and cook a lot
quicker as well, due to superior insulation. I had a Whirpool that was
so cheaply made that it took ages to cook anything, burnt the work
surface as insulation was so poor and broke down beyond repair after
18 months. If you cannot afford much I suggest finding a model you
like the look of and searching it on a couple of review sites.

Best of luck
