Title: Cookers
Post by: hydeaway on June 25, 2008, 16:36:31 PM: I know what you are all thinking a question about cookers from a male. We have just had our white goods installed in our new appt and they have put a gas cooker in and we have been told we will have to have an un-sightly gas bottle in the kitchen. Is this the norm or can they not make electric cookers in Turkey.

Post by: Scunner on June 25, 2008, 16:47:56 PM: I have gas central heating and my oven is electric. I don't actually think I've seen a gas oven, but then I don't pay much attention to women's things ;)

Have you thought of trying to run the pipe through the wall to the outside? That way you'll save on cupboard space, won't have to worry about a possible leak and might also have room to store a spare.

Post by: Karennina on June 25, 2008, 22:32:14 PM: you are defo better off with gas as previous member said if power goes off you can make a drink or two. We had a gas bottle installed in a cupboard underneath the hob so does not look unsightly at all, also we are still on our first gas bottle over a year later, works out quite cheap in the long run.

Post by: smythie on June 25, 2008, 22:48:25 PM: We have a duel gas electric hob, works quite well when the gas runs out, at least we can use the electric part of the hob until we get the gas bottle replaced.

Post by: Scunner on June 25, 2008, 22:52:01 PM: I expect it works equally well when the electric goes off smythie and you can use gas :P

Post by: Scunner on June 26, 2008, 18:39:52 PM: Yes Steve, contrary to Crabbit rumour the whole system was supplied in Turkey, underground tank, radiators and underfloor heating too. Drop me a line if you need any info.

Re gas central heating, underground tank etc. am interested but need more details, who installed it, what does the system comprise of, where is tank(underground ?) and most important how much to install and how much to run.

Post by: imperialwizard on July 01, 2008, 10:40:22 AM: How much should we expect to pay for an electric oven (nothing fancy)in Turkey.Just got an electric hob on our initial spending spree!
Wasnt sure about an oven,as we would lose some cupboard space.Realise now,we have ample cupboards,so an oven could be on the shopping list next trip.
Thanks..

Post by: stoop on July 01, 2008, 11:00:52 AM: We have a gas hob and electric oven. Fortunately we don't use the oven much as we either eat out or have a barbie. The hob gets the most use and our gas bottle only lasted 4 years :o

Post by: wingnut on July 01, 2008, 20:37:28 PM: imp wizard we piped the gas outside and stuck the oven under hob where gas bottle used to be got a really nice electric stainless one from eren spot about 230 pound they installed it same day but to be honest hardly used it and think a 30 pound george foreman would have been a better option
Title: Cookers
Post by: imperialwizard on July 01, 2008, 21:00:14 PM: Wingnut..many thanks.Its still at discussion stage anyway....but I'll probably lose!
We got the George F already,but my wife wasnt impressed with the microwave options,and the cost of the type she wanted (oven/grill etc)were really expensive.So just curious how much an ordinary electric oven would be.
Thanks for info..
