Indeed, cooking is a pink job.


Gas is far superior to old style electric, including the current crop of ceramic style hobs. Which are, in a nutshell, crap.

But other electric technologies are streets ahead of ceramic. Even halogen is superior to gas, IMHO. Apparently, ours is halogen. I asked .

Induction is ahead of this.


I've asked her (a year or 2 ago, when our cooker needed some TLC), what would see like (we have gas and leccy points there), she wanted halogen or better, and would not want to return to gas - condensation, heat around edge of pans, cleaning, and less control.

Yeah, but the condensation around the pan cleans it 

Used them all, latest one at home is Induction, with those touch buttons also appear to work off the heat in your finger.

The halogen one we had at the Uni house was total & utter shite, MrsT had Halogen (a much better one) at her flat, but she also prefers gas. Think its just personal preference 

Although considering I lived on my own for some time, I'm quite proud I never used a microwave in my flat  

Lived off takeaways then Mark did you

With my 4 figure mortgage? I wish! 

Tomato & Pasta, Tuna & Pasta, Meat & Pasta, Pesto & Pasta, Cheese & Pasta, can you see the pattern?

Ummm......a microwave CAN actually do a lot more than heating up microwave meals for one   

Once a student......always a student

Although considering I lived on my own for some time, I'm quite proud I never used a microwave in my flat 

In the 3 years I lodged, and the 8 or 9 months I lived alone in my first house, I'm proud I didn't even own a microwave. I had a cooker in my house (shitty old Tricity Marquis IIRC), but only ever used it when getting late back from pub, with the nibbles.

Damned right.

Much as I like Ambrosia, it's a travesty to put it on a dessert or heat it up.
