    "pyrolytic ovens" - new to me. A whole new world of ovens opens...

    PYrolitic, not PARAlitic @Fire!   They have a setting that heats the oven up fast and high and cleans stuff off leaving just a dust on the base which you wipe off with a damp cloth.

    Unfortunately, they also have an automatic fast cooling setting when you just turn the oven off which is a nightmare for making pavlova and other meringue dishes where part of the process is drying out the meringue in a naturally cooling oven so you get a lovely chewy centre.   Fortunately I have my Rangemaster to save the day.

  • My Siemens didn't have any cooling function when off...but then I don't like Pavlovas any way 😂 can't wait to throw away the humongous lump of metal our current range is.

    I would kill  for an Aga, I had a lovelly range cooker in my last house.It was 1930s, and I actually had a range fireplace, complete with the old bread oven, which hubby put the extractor fan into.No room for such things now, in my open plan, (kitchen/lounge) 1960s bungalow, funnily enough, this is now the fashion again

    My new fan oven does the same. I haven’t worked out how this fits with the comment in the instruction book about turning off the oven before something is finished and letting the residual heat complete the cooking. However, I’ve realised that I can switch the power off at the isolator switch and that would stop the fan, might work for the pavlovas?
