Any everhot owners out there

Pappaws - i agree with you - i would have gone without the simmer plate - the existing plate being half hot and half simmer is massive.....

and as my 90 sits inside a chimney alcove i do use the resting plate as a place to put dishes when lifting hot dishes out of the oven - i also use it as a place to put a bowl with spoons in when stirring things on the hotplate.... and my kettle sits at the back too....

i have chimmney walls either side of my 90 and so no worksurface immediately next to the Everhot....

but i love the look of the doors on the new version - i am getting jealous:rolleyes:

when is yours arriving?

Early March I think........ Wish it was here now with all this cold weather, but the kitchen isnt ready quite yet. Mine will be in a man made insert, like a chimney breast that we are making with tall cupboards either side.
Does the bit at the side stay cold, or is it warm enough to warm plates? Is there any room at the back of the hotplates for a kettle, or is it just on the side plate.

hi

at the side of my hot plate on the 90 i have a stainless steel resting plate which sits on the top....

the resting plate does not get "hot" but the metal it sits on does....

i put my kettle on the metal at the back of the resting plate (no space behind the actual hotplates lid)


You will love it once it arrives..... at the moment i have pork belly ultra slow roasting overnight in the bottom oven - lovely - i will leave it in the bottom oven and put roast potatos and veg in the top oven tomorrow mid morning and then take off the cracking and blast it under the grill for 30 minutes so we have crackling with our sunday lunch tomorrow...

I am really getting into finding recipes to ultra slow cook overnight.....

Hiya have caught up woth you again! The new 90 looks great! Our 100s is arriving second week of Feb - just doing battle with the new cooker hood.... :eek:, not straightforward.

We haven't gone for the induction plate as we have a gas hob elsewhere in the kitchen for use if we switch the everhot off / run out cooking space etc. to take the hob away would have left mega whole in the work surface...

Counting down...

Not long for you then Herman..........Exciting. Did you get yours direct or through a dealer?
KItchen renovations are speeding up here, started laying the floor tiles and the underfloor heating yesterday. When thats finished I can at least move the mnake shift kitchen out of the sitting room, and get the washing machine down etc......
Also then need to take a picture of the Brittania Range cooker and hood to go on ebay.

A new colour has been launched as well...

hi everyone.

I am thinking about a range cooker.

Do you think these are better than oil ones? i was thinking of a rayburn so that i could get hot water & heating?

Hi

all energy prices are set to rise in the coming years, at the moment oil is expensive and i think oil fired aga / rayburn users are finding the cookers expensive to run. Knowing that in the next 30 years oil is going to become much much more expensive is what put me off a oil fired cooker.

Electricity is also going to go up but when i bought the Everhot i did so with the hope that one day we will have enough saved up to buy solar PV panels for the roof to generate our own electricity for the Everhot and other usage.

The Rayburn can heat water - so i would work out how much hot water you use? remember that dishwashers and washing machines are usually cold fill so don't use water heated by the rayburn, boiler or by solar thermals....

The Everhot does give off some heat to the kitchen but does not heat radiators in the way a Rayburn does.....

we have a log burning stove to heat the living room and a couple of radiators and the Everhot in the kitchen to heat that room.

I think you need to think about the future and how long you see yourself in your house with your new cooker....

and think about how much hot water you use for bathing, washing and what is the most effective way to heat that water in your particular home - modern gas boiler? solar thermals? or rayburn? or log burning stove?

and think about how your house is heated? and again what is the most efficient?

In terms of cooking - i think they all cook in the same way -

The Everhot can be put into eco mode and different ovens /hotplates turned off to suit your requirements on that day...

i am sure others will be along to put forward different views:rolleyes:

Thanks art, i understand where u're coming from, however with the conversion project the only fuels available are electricity & oil so will have to have oil heating which ever way we go

blushingbride_3

at the moement there is 2 of us but with plans to have 4 children & this would hopefully be a longterm home. for @ least 15 yrs

so a fair bit of hot water needed, although small kiddies can share etc

there will be 6 rooms to heat.
