If that's the case, then I'm sure it will be fine! Sounds very exciting, in fact! |
Yes - we rae excited. Thought long and hard about this one. The Aga is wonderful, £500 20 years ago - we can't complain, but the cost of fuel has made us re-think our current situation - no gas in the village so we are on oil! less said the better re costs! We have lots of wood around the place so seems silly not to use it.

Yes - am planning on having an electric hob hun. Will have to revise my cooking methods as I have been cooking with the Aga for 20 years! More of a slow cooking process gal. |
Don't have a rayburne Novelle...but do have an oil fired one here. I had a gas Aga before for many years...the cooking is not the same at all on a Rayburn.
Whatever model ours is, it doesn't run rads, but there is one that is a heat sink for it if it gets too hot. (which we are going to get changed for the one in the bathroom, which seems more sensible!)
This rayburn needs to be turned up prior to cooking, to get a decent heat in the oven...I'd suggest an oven thermometer would be your friend! Once you know what the zones correspond to it helps a lot! It would have helped a lot if someone had told me that when we first moved in LOL!
I can warm through a few croissants, take the chill of some plates etc when it's on no 1 setting, or use the oven as a slow cooker, and I try to remember to use the top plates to simmer stuff on, rather than using the hob. We have an electric hob and oven here too....HATE the hob with a vengance (there is a gremlin that keeps turning it on ) but it's going and being replaced with a gas one (bottled gas) unless you LURVE electric hobs...I'd suggest considering bottled gas? The fan oven is fine. Also a good back up for when it's not on at all is a slow cooker!
I've got a shiny new Neff Gas hob (with a wok burner - sigh of pleasure) here waiting to be installed....
