Cooker/Oven Depth 50cm? Advice Needed.

[modsnrockers]

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get an electric oven with a depth of 50cm.

My kitchen is quite irregular in shape with worktop depths of 50cm, and I can't find any cookers to fit through the usual high street retailers.

Preferably silver, but any to fit would be a bonus!

Thanks in advance.

In Black or White no silver model. Used them many times, designed to run on 13A socket, the main stay of many a works tea hut. Although today the microwave has replaced them in many tea huts.

This will sit on a 50mm deep worktop, if you don't mind the front overhanging the edge.



The front feet would be close to the edge though, so I would advise screwing a batten just in front of the rear ones to stop it being accidentally slid forward.

I own one, BTW, and it's pretty good.

Aye, me too.
We hardly use the big oven now. The Sharp's oven heats up really quickly and the microwave/oven combi cooking is a great feature.

Sharp also do a "built in" kit for it so it will go in a tall unit next time the kitchen gets re-jigged.

It helps to learn how it does that, as selecting "convector preheat" to get it back up to temperature if you want to give what's in there more time may not be the best move...

Haven't tried that yet. When doing some part-baked baguettes in there Mrs Sheds has inadvertently tried adding a few minutes microwaving at the end, but that didn't go too well.

Aye, me too. With a drawer underneath to store the shelves when microwaving.

Yes, it really blazes away in there until target temp is reached. Anything on the top shelf can get cremated.

Otherwise, its a nice bit of kit. Big enough for a large roast too - but not a Christmas turkey.

Do you think we sold it to the OP?

 

[ban-all-sheds]

Off topic, but how much joy do you have cleaning yours using the manufacturer specified "mild detergent solution" if you've been using it for a roast?

 

[Taylortwocities]

Totally hopeless. A quick wipe with Mr Muscle Oven (missing the microwave panel) seems to work.


I'm still tring to discover if the oven type is a fan or not.
The legend on the oven says "CONV" but there's nothing in the book to say if its convection or conventional (or convertible).

To the op, have you thought of a halogen oven. We recently bought one and they do a superb job, they cook at lower temps and cook faster than conventional ovens.

 

[ban-all-sheds]

they cook at lower temps and cook faster than conventional ovens.

That sounds suspiciously like an impossibility.

To someone who knows nothing about halogen ovens.

My halogen oven is rated at 900w it perfectly roasts a 1.3 kg chicken in less than an hour, and in 50 mins cooks the best roast taters you've ever had.

1) Neither of those times sounds either wrong or shorter than any other sort of oven.

2) Just because it's 900W doesn't mean it cooks at a lower temperature.

3) If you put a chicken (or anything else, come to that) into a (purely thermal) oven which is not hot enough and/or for not long enough it simply will not be cooked properly.
