Spirals
Hi Joe
They were the most popular type of hob over here from the 60s to the 80s- the 1st major difference between UK and Euro cookers.... The 2nd is the oven- the main oven on this and 99% of UK built pre fan assisted ovens have elements behind the side panels as opposed to the top and bottom. Much better heat distribution(hotter at the top, but you can still cook on more than 1 shrlf unlike top and bottom heat). Seamus | ||

Questions.....
Pete
Theres no drip pans- these have a slide out drip tray -well 2 actually, the lower one is the roof of the top oven/grill. Joe It is indeed the Thorn Logo- at this time Tricity, Kenwood and Bendix were all part of Thorn EMI. Also Im considering getting this for Mum and selling her modern Tricity Bendix slot in...............If she agrees lol! Seamus | ||

That is narrow
Yes, SeamusUK, they dont make any that narrow in America. An "apartment" size stove is 20"/about 48 mm, is the absolute smallest range here and they are hard to find as the majority are 30"/ about 55 mm. and up. It is interesting to see how many nice features they can fit in a small package. Where our standard stoves only have one big oven. Of course, the higher the price, the more deluxe features you can get.

Glass door
Pete
This was a very common arrangement in electric cookers from towards the middle of the 1950s onwards. Normally if a cooker had a bottom hinged oven door it would have a glass window built in to it but if side hinged then all but the most BOL cookers has a secondary glass door - even my mothers Jackon from 1957 has a glass inner door. The idea was to allow cooking progress to be checked without all the heat rushing from the oven which I suppose it did to an extent, although they were by no meants tight sealing. I think this was a British thing, and just on electric cookers as I recall, and began to die out from the early 1980s with the adoption of completely glass doors and also with the massive increase in sales of German ovens (Neff, Bosch) which had bottom hinged, and in the case of Neff at least, glass doors too.

glass door petek The stove has a eye level grill/top oven (ovenette) this is where the rotisserie is housed,not in the main oven There is a clear glass plate that clips onto this unit,I guess to keep heat in and stop any spitting fat catching you in the eye Hi Al | ||

BHF
Whatcha Pete
Glad to hear it was you got that rotisserie set, I did wonder if it would be. Although the BHF (British Heart Foundation) shops can have some interesting stuff I often feel it is very much over priced for what it is. The shops are all over the place and I am sure there must be one a lot nearer to you than Dover - there is one in Mitcham where I live. From our previous conversations I think there would be a great deal of tut-tutting, WTFs and "they are having a laugh" if you ever went into one of their shops :) Al | ||
