Range Cookers

I have a mercury range in my kitchen. Its fantastic. Not cheap - but still good value.

I spent ages looking at the likes of Leisure and Rangemaster, Belling and so on. They don't seem to be very well made at all - they are also incredibly lightweight, there is nothing to them.

Brittania are a step up and much better quality.

Then in the premier league is Falcon, Lacanche and Mercury. I chose the mercury because it looked sharp and modern and it has some really well thought out features. The burners light automatically, the grill tray comes out on rollers etc. I think aga also does a conventional range too.

recently fitted a Mercury range in a clients house 1100mm version .. close to £3000 Dual fuel .
Took 4 of us to lift it into postion .. Corgi states that all free standing range and slot in cookers have to have a chain attached to the wall at the back to prevent the machine from toppling forward if all the doors are open . for the mercury to topple over .. you would need at least a turkey wieghing 18 stone on the door .. lol
very well built machine .. and looked the Biz too.
be careful when installing these machines .. sometimes they are classed as commercial and need a braided flexy hose .. your corgi guy should know what to do .

Wimp - my brother and i lifted mine!! Having said that - neither of us has ever been quite the same since

I think they weigh about 200kg

 

having seen some of the comments in a recent post on
the pros & cons of having a free range cooker.



Did anyone mention that they do definitely taste much better.......................once you've actually caught one.

 

problem is .. they have four legs unlike the free range chickens

Free range sausages got no bloody legs at all but they're still a bugger to catch

 

never tried to catch one of those .. are they a new breed then ?
maybe Irish recipe!!
