Advantages: efficient, functions, cool doors

Disadvantages: hot air when you open doors

I enjoy cooking and like to use well designed, practical, long lasting appliances.
This cooker lives up to all my hopes, despite its large price.
The oven doors are triple glazed and have an air stream inside them to keep them cool to the touch, even after extended cooking, which means no accidents waiting to happen to children. The only criticism I have about the cooker is that you have to be very careful opening the oven doors as the blast of air from the door can blow hot gases at you.
The number of functions is more than adequate, including a defrost function in the main oven - no heat, just a flow of air - which defrosts very efficiently. The grill can be combined with the oven heat to really blast food with heat.
The hobs include one huge burner which makes wok cooking a joy; and having an extra metal bar at each side gives the impression of a much larger cooking area keeping hot pots away from delicate surfaces. The cast iron pan stands are nice too and very hard wearing.
