We have a Maytag double oven in a 30" cooking stove. The top oven isn't full size though and the entire died in is pretty crappy as is the function. If you really want a good double oven and range pay the dosh and get a good non North American made one.

Or order half price pizza from Domino's.

MIL and the stepkids have been converted. If we don't have a roast type dinner on a Sunday, stepdaughter especially misses it.

yes ......... our daughter has converted her husband to the Sunday roast, although they usually cook it on the BBQ outside even in winter unless it is deep in snow. I gather that is easier that cooking it in the oven if you buy a propane BBQ, not the charcoal burning one that we prefer Plus he can cook a roast on the BBQ, but is not good cooking one in the oven.

She's even converted him to eating cold roast meat, even if it is only for the lunch box he takes to work.

We had roast ham (on the bone, of course ) for dinner last night; cold roast ham with Greek roast potatoes tonight; and there' enough for another meal tomorrow night ............. so we're real old school English Sunday roast people

Why not go for an Aga??

They only cost about $10,000 here

I had to have a bit of a chuckle reading this. My Ilve range (90cm + 60cm electric ovens; 2 gas wok burners; 3 normal gas burners and gas flat top) cost more than an entry level small car in Australia! You northerners have it pretty good...

Seriously though, some of this is weighing on my mind for our move to Canada in due course. Having had many years of very efficient and multi option cooking on my Ilve (eg, I can choose between fan or non fan oven cooking; timed oven cooking; pure fan; fan plus top and or bottom elements, I'll have to learn to cope with lesser facilities at first. I do a lot of home cooking of everything under the sun (I prefer home made things).

A lot of friends here are switching to induction hobs. I've had a go on them and am in two minds. On the plus side they are terrific for high energy (boiling) and low energy (very low simmers - way better than gas, IMO). I've struggled with precision cooking on them though (eg, scrambled eggs, omelettes). That may just reflect my inexperience with them.

PS: I LOVE a Sunday roast!
