Hi seamus-and everbody else of course.

Do they stock many big aplliances at the bhf? and what kind of prices they go for.

I live in hackney east london,would it be worth a quick whizz down the motorway?

I do like the presidents tho.I recently picked up a moffat fiesta,but cried when I found the rotiss and the temp probe missing,and apart from the clock and timer the monster works well.lucky enough the other day to get complete rotiss kit and been doing sumersaults round the kitchen alday watching the chickens go round,I know I know I need to get out more! but the smell while cooking,,Now need to try and locate aroast o probe,try and get the clock working,and I will be a happy bunny....for a whilw anyway....pete
 
Glass door

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.

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

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 :)
