Hello I was wondering how you got on with your quest to find a suitable cooker? I too am looking at a 50cm freestanding cooker with a grill fit for purpose, because the one we own takes about 10 minutes to toast two slices of bread adding any more is just pointless becasue the actual grill only covers 50{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the cookers internal width and within that area only provides about 20{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} flame coverage. I sometimes think, does this energy efficiency have anything to do with it? is this efficiency thing being use to justify the use of narrower gauge pipes and valves? Perhaps its me and I’m not pragmatic enough but I thought the very nature of Gas meant it needed to be efficient otherwise it would leak and therefore the efficiency is decided by the user when they turn the dial?
I’m getting the feeling the manufacturers having gained a monopoly are basically saying, unless you spend around 600-1000 you will get what your given and if this is correct, I’m forced to redesign my little kitchen to accommodate a new cooker and therefore perhaps I should just wait until the cooker stops functioning altogether and then advertise it has being 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} energy cost efficient!
Best regards
Betty
