Dual fuel cooker

gasbill

getting a new cooker soon, looking at dual fuel. Does anyone have a good one, or one to be avoided? ideally want a fast grill - with a dual fuel I gather the grill is electric - years and years ago I had an electric grill, which was hopeless. I'm hoping the technology has improved....

i have a cannon henley which i am really pleased with... my parents and brother in law also have cannons which they highly recommend

its got gas hob with electric oven and grill... the grill is called a solar grill (or soomething like that) and is very quick.. so quick in fact that i got rid of my toaster and use that for toasting etc

have to say i dont grill meat under it so cant comment on that but all in all i am really pleased with it

everyone i know who has a Stoves cooker has not been at all happy with them so that might be one to avoid

we had a miele gas hob and electric double oven, at our last home. great, and it never let us down. we sold it with the house.
we have an indesit, all electric oven/hob now. but we miss the gas hob.

Thank you - was looking at the Cannon one - seemed OK, but thought if anyone had any actual experience of any in particular - always good to have a second opinion! The plumber has finished putting the pipe in, so I'm off out to find one at the weekend....

Don't forget to check out the online price of the cooker you decide on before you buy it ...you could save quite a few £££’s

I bought this Cannon dual fuel on-line last year and I love it!

Saved around £150 buying through Tribal and couldn't fault them for service. The cooker was delivered about 3 days after I ordered it direct fromthe manufacturer.

Right then, been out to have a look - thanks for all the advice everyone, but now I can't decide - do I go for stainless steel, or enamel? Stainless looks lovely new, but I don't want to be a slave to cleaning it....have seen all the advice on baby oil, which sounds great, but I do quite a lot of splashy spitty cooking (ususally make some sort of mess - sometimes worse than others) Now, I know in professional kitchens, they always have stainless, but they generally don't care if it doesn't look all shiny, or if they do, they pay some poor school kid a pittance to scrub it after everyone else has gone home.
So now I'm asking if anyone has bought a stainless one, and regretted it? Would love to hear any thoughts....
Thanks in advance.
