Iv not looked at all this thread only the last few pages or so but surprised how good the dishes look like restaurant I just use ours for cheese toasties and warming up the odd mince pie or gingsters pasty and it does a good job but any cooking I've tried in it I wasn't impressed. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But after buying and using ours, for about 10 months, we still use our normal cooker/oven, and prefer practically most of our meals cooked in/on it.

Borr 6,005 Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 Go retro and get a George foreman or one of them microwave things or a slow cooker or a pressure cooker or a sous vide lol. Best thing I've bought is a kamado grill, use it all year round , did the turkey on it. I guess it's what you enjoy, can't say I'd replace mine as they cost a bomb now and I'd probably try another type of offset smoker BBQ. If I didn't want to run an Aga I'd probably fit an oven either in garage or a worktop one. Or rip out the Aga and have a nice big range cooker Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have one, but only use it for chips, chicken nuggets, fish fingers for the young lad. He only eats certain stuff (autism), so it's great for sticking on something plain for him My brother in law swears by them. He does fry ups and everything in his, but looks like it would be pure hardship to me. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
