![]() Bedtime reading on gas cooker failures made for some sleepless nights but so far so good for gas leaks and safety. Id like it to see me out but I know thats not going to happen so Il just enjoy it while I can. Im really enjoying using it, years of use? We can only see. The Grill arrangement of a tray on nothing more than a cooling rack bolted to the splashback always felt flimsy so I avoided those like the plague opting for a newish Creda Concept Solarglo. Not to mention the Parkinson Cowan models you mentioned which my senior school had a few of from the Era you mention. Mind the Leisure was probably one of those glamour over guts jobs with its black glass and chrome trims.Ĭonsidering the Cannon has no timer or auto features not even a minute minder just shows the bells and whistles on a cheap framework for a premium price mentality has been around for quite sometime - im quite sure the Leisure was only a few pounds cheaper than the Cannon. However I had assumed there were semi proffessional offerings but thinking about it perhaps there was'nt back then.Ĭomparing it to the Leisure 5 Star Auto MkIII my parents had when I was growing up the Cannon does have a heavier more well built feel so I see your point. Not a paint job in sight.Īl its funny you should of raised that point, My Grandad who was a gas engineer for British Gas had said the same thing and that they were the best choice if one could afford back in the day. Not to mention that toast done under the hot moist heat of gas is never quite the same from the toaster.ĭid I mention its heavy enough too. Grill is a proper grill no weakness here- Id almost forgotten what crisp bacon and proper cheese on toast almost tasted like. (and enough to keep the traditional chip pan up to temp) Very gentle simmer to a Full rolling boil. Oven is bang on with its thermostat, Gas rings of all the same power for total versatility. One Cannon 150 later installed and checked - FABULOUS! The Creda seemed well built to todays standards and was a brilliant cooker but 15 years of heavy use and a little bit of misery in its final years not being cared for took its toll. So it was out with the old and in with the older. ![]() Try entertaining the clan here with 2 rings and a barely cool or roasting hot oven without going beetroot red at the table when all is tits up! In November the Creda Chatsworth I had in my house gave up the ghost with a dodgy thermocoupler in the oven and 2 faulty gas rings that would barely stay lit. ![]()
