I don't share Dutch stuff very often, but this is a real classic. It's a Nestor Martin cooker/range/stove or whatever you want to call it. It has the solid burners, which are not loved by everyone, but it's such a beauty I just wanted to share it here. It's from 1975, in real good condition and it comes with the manual and the original warranty document.

Nice looking unit, really - not sure if I'd like the flip up top, but it keeps out the animals. :-)

Thanks guys!

Flip up tops (or lids) are very common here on freestanding cookers. Some still have them.

A while ago a Neston Martin gas cooker was sold too, a bit earlier than 1975 I guess. I saved the pictures.

Here's a Siemens cooker with a roll out oven 80's or 90's. We had something similar, but ours was a built in model from 1975. The shelf height was adjustable, but there was only one. It would have been difficult to get to a bottom rack anyway when there would have been two.

Freestanding is the minority of appliances here, but it's the most found on auction sites. Built-in appliances stay with the house, freestanding often not.

This brings back memories. This was my grandmother's first electric cooker/hob. She had this one, with two burners, there was a three burner model too, with all three burners next to eachother. My grandmother did everything on it, including baking pound cakes in a regular cooking pot! The very continous heat prevented the cake from burning.

Atag is a Dutch manufacturer. For a while they made appliances in several colors. This color was called "mosgroen"(moss-green).

And here's a Neff cooker, from the time Neff was not a TOL BSH brand yet. Simple cooker but like the ATAG and the original posted Nestor Martin, it has two heatminder plates (the ATAG has only one).

that is a pretty cooker Louis. Yes the solid hobs are slow but you can get used to them, and when they finally get going - lookoutwanda! I should qualify what I mean as I am used to induction so I think anything is slow even gas compared to induction.

 

I switched my Jenn Air out to solid hobs last year as they clean up much better for the renters. The coils got looking disgusting even after heavy cleaning.

And it was gonna cost a small fortune to replace the jenn air drip pans underneath them , as they had all rusted out. The solid cast iron hob is a dream to clean.

What hobs did you get for the renters Jon? I don't think I have ever seen North American solid burners.

I learned cooking on solid burners, my mother preferred them over anything else.

I love my induction cooktop too, but I would have no problem going back to solid burners. Great for slow cooking and simmering.

Wow!

I've only ever seen one like this in the USA!  It was a Magic Chef, bought new around 1989.  This style is called a "slide-in" over here.  Not all that popular except for "islands" or against fully-tiled walls/backsplashes.  In my 8 years selling appliances at The Home Depot, it seems that cooktops have become passe, usually only combined with wall ovens.  We tried putting an induction cooktop on the floor for awhile, couldn't get rid of it nohow.  Most people don't want to replace or get rid of their current cookware.  A builder finally bought it (at a sizeable markdown) for a spec house he was building.  Often wondered why mfr's didn't try induction/electric or induction/gas combo units?

Overhere some manufacturers did and even do. AEG sells these combo's in some countries.

www.aeg.co.uk/Products/Cooking/Ho...

And you can always choose for a modular or combi set.

I bought two used cartridges in ebay , these are from the '80's. Solid hobs were quite common here back then. They didnt catch on due to american's constant need for speed.

Solid burners indeed! Do they come with controls?

Dutch cookers

What an interesting thread this is, and fascinating for me to see a comparison with what we in Britain at the same time. I did not like the opening cooker in this thread as much as the second which looks like it might be 1960s.

The siemens with the roll out oven door looks interesting too, I imagine that the toll out bas is actually the "lower shelf", hence only having one additional shelf.

Louis I have seen regular style US ranges with solid plates posted here in Shoppers Square, it may have been just the once but I have definitely seen one.
We have talked about those solid plates before so wont rehash it again, and if you saw SE Steve's posting of the Jackson in the UK Appliances February thread you can see the cooker I started on. It would be a boring world if we all liked the same things and of course we have the same opinion of induction

Yes Alistair, we're all for variety!

No the roll out basis disappears under the oven. So there is only one shelf in the Siemens oven. It can be put in four positions. What's so special about about that second cooker is the two knobs for the oven. I had never seen that before, at least not overhere. One knob is for the settings oven and grill and the other one is the thermostat, so there must be two valves in one gas line.

Slide in's, variety, etc.

I bought my GE profile dual fuel slide in from Home Depot. It's a great range.
All the rage today is over induction cook tops. Yes, they are more efficient.
But by how much after you figure in the added cost?
The next series up from mine is the Cafe', which is listed as a free standing model, even though it's controls are still at the front. It has stainless steel sides, where as mine has no sides. It has black metal flanges to hide what the cabinet sides do not hide. Heat was not an issue with my grade of cabinets.
I tiled in a design feature in the backsplash behind the range of solid bone and ivory color polished travertine 4 inch by 4 inch on a 45 degree angle from the rest of it, which is tumbled travertine in earthy colors bordered by an accent strip of small square tiles of glass, marble, in grey's, tans, and stainless steel.
