De Dietrich - Top of the Class!

carl@bigblue.co.uk — 2010-06-18T15:09:45+01:00

The De Dietrich DOP895B oven was one of three cutting edge ‘intelligent ovens’ recently tested on Channel 5’s ‘Gadget Show’, and unsurprisingly received fantastic reviews as a result! The subjects of the independent test were the Electrolux Inspiro, the Miele H5681B and the recently launched De Dietrich oven. The test comprised of each oven cooking an identically sized piece of beef sirloin from a cold start, using the relevant ‘roast beef’ settings on each. The DOP895B was the clear winner, being awarded a maimum score by the reviewers. They commented on the look and styling of the oven, and were impressed by the electronic touch control panel with was seen as very ‘straightforward’ to use. At the end of the specified cooking time, the chef then tested the resulting dish - the steak cooked in the De Dietrich oven had ‘good colour’, ‘lovely mouth appeal’ was ‘delicious’ and ‘impressive; the overall conclusion was that the DOP895B was ‘easy to use and delivered perfect results’.

Pizza Stones

carl@bigblue.co.uk — 2010-06-15T11:54:15+01:00

Manufactured from terracotta, pizza stones can vary in shape and size but work in essentially the same fashion - transferring heat evenly across the base of the pizza and absorbing any excess moisture, resulting in a noticeably crispier base. Terracotta pizza stones can be solid or hollow, but both kinds will work the same. There are variations in shape and size and some will have integrated handles. A pizza stone should be preheated with the oven, rather than introduced into an already hot oven, to avoid thermal shock and in extreme cases breakage. For the same reason, your pizza stone should be allowed to cool naturally. Most pizza stones will be supplied with a wooden paddle which slides under the pizza to make serving a lot easier. Pizza stones are not just for pizza - cooking on one will improve the quality of other breads and pastries enormously. Click here to see a range of pizza stones in our cookware section.

New World Gas Grills

carl@bigblue.co.uk — 2010-04-28T09:57:54+01:00

Most manufacturers have now switched to producing their ovens with electric grills, which causes a problem for the home cook that prefers the more traditional gas grill. New World, however, have bucked the trend and are continuing to offer their gas ovens with a gas grill. This will undoubtedly be good news for people searching for that specification, and coupled with New World’s value for money ethos and longstanding cooking heritage, you can’t really go too far wrong. View the NW60G, NW70G and NW90G gas ovens.

Ovens - Conventional, Fanned and Multifunction

carl@bigblue.co.uk — 2010-04-26T16:07:42+01:00

Conventional ovens, either electric or gas, typically rely on a heat source at the bottom of the cavity, allowing the heat to rise naturally and producing a temperature gradient with the top being hotter than the bottom. This gives the advantage of being versatile enough to manage different dishes in different temperature zones (roast potatoes in the top, fruit pie at the bottom) but has the disadvantage of taking longer to cook a full meal. Fanned ovens have been around for quite some time now. They work via a heating element coiled around a fan - the fan distributes the heat evenly across the whole oven cavity from top to bottom. This reduces warm up and cooking times and as a result is more efficient than conventional ovens. Multifunction ovens offer the best of both worlds - various heat sources to offer both conventional and fanned cooking, in addition to a grill function. In addition to fanned, other cooking modes include bottom or top elements according to what you’re cooking - a quick pizza can be cooked using the bottom element only for example, to give a crispy base. Another trick with a multifunction oven would be to get the oven to cooking temperature quickly using the fanned function, then switch over to the function of your choice to cook the food.

Oven Installation Advice

carl@bigblue.co.uk — 2010-04-23T11:32:30+01:00

General Advice When installing a gas oven or gas hob, we strongly advise consulting a local gas engineer. It is important the the engineer you consult is Gas Safe Regsitered - you can visit gassaferegister.co.uk and search for a qualified and approved local engineer directly on their website. Please bear in mind that not only is fitting a gas appliance yourself extremely dangerous and against regulations, but manufacturers’ warranties are void unless the appliance has been installed by a qualified and approved engineer. An electric oven will ordinarily require hardwiring into a fused box on the mains circuit due to the draw required. Again, we strongly recommend consulting a qualified electrician. This is also the case for ceramic and induction built in hobs. Should the appliance utilise a standard 13amp plug, it may just be a case of installing it yourself into the kitchen unit or carcass. Positioning Advice Built in ovens and hobs should ideally be positioned on an external wall wherever possible - this will make ventilating them easier, as the shortest possible route to the outside means much greater efficiency. Built in hobs are normally fitted (either flush mount or built in) into the worktop over a 600mm wide kitchen unit. Hobs should not be positioned under a window wherever possible. Installing a refrigerator adjacent to an oven will increase the amount of energy needed to run both appliances, so it is well worth avoiding this. Extractor hoods are extremely beneficial, almost essential, in the removal of steam, excess heat and cooking odours. Hoods can either be extracted through an external wall, or made to circulate filtered air via the use of odour removing carbon filters. Built Under Ovens Built under ovens, as their name suggests, are ovens that have been designed to be situated under the worktop. 600mm single ovens and 720mm double ovens can be used, however it is worth noting that 600mm single ovens will require a spacer panel to make up the height between the kitchen plinth and worktop. Flame Supervision Device (FSD) A flame supervision device (FSD) or flame failure device (FFD) is a safety feature that detects if a flame has been extinguished on either a gas hob or a gas oven. If it detects such an occurrence, the gas supply is shut off immediately. It is worth noting that as from 31st March 2010, all gas appliances manufactured are required to have an FSD/FFD fitted as standard. Any gas appliances available WITHOUT these are likely to be old models.

Benefits of Triple Glazed Doors

carl@bigblue.co.uk — 2010-04-21T09:32:03+01:00

High end built in ovens will often list triple glazed oven doors as a feature. This is beneficial in a number of different ways; • triple glazing ensures heat is kept inside the oven cavity with the absolute minimum escaping - this in turn means less energy is used to cook, making the oven vastly more efficient • the noise level of the oven is reduced to an absolute minimum • the outermost glass is kept a lot cooler than with standard doors, making a triple glazed oven considerably safer. In addition, some triple glazed models feature a full length glass panel on the inside which facilitate easy cleaning.

Wok Support Rings

carl@bigblue.co.uk — 2010-04-20T10:03:14+01:00

Wok burners are an excellent feature on a gas built in hob, and as a result wok support rings are an extremely popular accessory. A lot of manufacturers offer these as additional extras, but we found them rather inadequate and poorly designed. We tasked our designers with developing a quality wok support that will work with most cast iron hob supports and provide a real asset to the home cook. The result is the Bigblue Wok Support Ring - a substantial yet elegant product representing the best of British design and manufacture - which is in our opinion the best wok support ring available on the market. Cast iron with a rugged vitreous enamel finish to ensure many years of faithful service in providing a stable platform for your wok, the Bigblue Wok Support is beautifully gift packaged with a comprehensive user guide.

Electric grills - a Progression from Gas?

carl@bigblue.co.uk — 2010-04-16T11:14:16+01:00

The British, as a nation, are unusually fond of grilling. Other nations use the hob to prepare most dishes and foods that we would grill, so as a result, pay little or no attention to this element. In Britain however we really do pay our grills an enormous amount of attention and as a result are less than accepting of the electric grill ... This idea of electric grills being vastly inferior to gas is sadly out of date and probably stems from experience of electric grills from yesteryear when control and versatility of electric elements was extremely poor. As with everything else, technology has improved greatly and most manufacturers have now replaced their gas grills with up to date dual circuit electric elements which perform superbly and are extremely responsive. As well as the advantages of electric grills, it is also worth pointing out the pitfalls of gas - they are usually the first things that fail on gas appliances, and can be lethal if not maintained or if used incorrectly.

LPG Ovens - a Rare Breed

carl@bigblue.co.uk — 2010-04-14T16:24:15+01:00

LPG ovens are essential to home chefs that crave the benefits of a gas oven, but live in an area where natural gas is unavailable. Unfortunately, LPG ovens are all but impossible to find - with the exception of Belling and Hotpoint there are hardly any manufacturers producing them. We offer two models - the Belling XOU70LPG built under oven and the Hotpoint Style SY23 single built in oven. Both of these models offer gas oven cavities and gas grills that can run off LPG.

Catalytic? Pyrolytic? Oven Cleaning Explained!

carl@bigblue.co.uk — 2010-03-26T11:24:51+00:00

There are three distinct options when it comes to cleaning features on a built in oven - these are easy clean enamel oven liners, catalytic liners, and pyrolytic cleaning functions. Enamel The enamel surface inside an oven is, when viewed extremely closely, made up of tiny bumps. In the case of an easy clean enamel, these bumps are closer together and a lot less pronounced. This stops grease and cooking debris from penetrating too far into the enamel, therefore making manual cleaning easier and less of a chore. Catalytic Liners Catalytic liners are coated and, when the oven reaches a specific temperature, oxidise any grease and residue. Although extremely effective, any ares of the oven cavity not lined - for example the door - still require manual cleaning. Pyrolytic Liners By far the most effective cleaning method currently available, the Pyrolytic cleaning function works by heating the oven cavity to an extremely high temperature - around 500 degrees - to burn off any residue. At the end of the Pyrolytic cycle, all that remains of any grease is a small pile of ash in the bottom of the oven that can be swept out. The effectiveness of Pyrolytic is due to the fact that it cleans all areas of the oven cavity, not just the liners. Although slightly more expensive initially than Catalytic ovens, keeping an oven clean with regular Pyrolytic cleaning ensures optimum efficiency and therefore lower running costs.

Grill Update on Stoves Gas Ovens

carl@bigblue.co.uk — 2010-03-19T16:48:25+00:00

The Stoves 600G, 700GDO and 900GDO built in gas ovens traditionally featured a fixed rate gas grill. However, with the update to the range and the release of the 600GT, 700GDOT and 900GDOT models, Stoves have moved away from this and in line with other manufacturers have replaced the gas grill with an electric grill. This will be effective from when the new models become available, expected to be early April.

Induction Hobs Explained

carl@bigblue.co.uk — 2010-03-19T09:14:19+00:00

Induction technology has been used in commercial cooking for some time now, but it is a relatively new addition to domestic cooking appliances. The first brand to utilise induction hobs in their collection was Stoves, who are still at the forefront of induction with their current hob range. How do induction hobs work? Powerful electromagnets below the surface of the hob agitate the molecules of the ferrous metal of the pan, creating heat. Variation in heat is caused by controlling the flow of electricity to the magnet, making adjustment in temperature immediate. Advantages The two main advantages of induction hobs are speed and efficiency. Induction hobs power up instantly and switch of immediately, making it as controllable and responsive as gas. It can take as little as 5 seconds to bring a pan of water to the boil, and reducing the temperature to simmering is just as quick due to the lack of any residual heat. Because of the way induction transfers heat - ie directly to the pan - no energy is wasted via transferral of heat from the element to the glass surface then through to the pan. Suitable cookware Because of how induction hobs transfer heat, only certain types of pan will be effective. Look for a pan bearing the ‘Class Enamel’ logo on its base, or ‘Suitable for Induction’ on the packaging. Generally all iron pans will work perfectly with induction (take care not to scratch the glass surface of the hob though), and manufacturers now make aluminium or stainless pans with a layer of suitable material in the base.

Gas or Electric?

carl@bigblue.co.uk — 2010-03-17T17:17:19+00:00

Both gas and electric built in ovens each have something different to offer the home chef. Gas ovens tend to be the choice of the traditionalist, and offer a fantastically moist heat, which is ideal for baking cakes and for roasting meat and poultry - the moisture prevents the food from drying out while cooking. The gas oven also offers a gradient heat distribution - the cavity is hotter at the top than at the bottom - making the oven considerably more versatile than an even heat. Electric ovens are easier to control and are more responsive to adjustments in temperature. The heat inside an electric built in oven is constant throughout ensuring even cooking, and an electric oven makes browning or crisping food a lot easier than a gas oven. Another advantage of electric built in ovens is the variety - there is a far greater choice of electric ovens available than their gas counterparts. View all gas built in ovens or view all electric built in ovens.

Built in Oven Sizes Explained

carl@bigblue.co.uk — 2010-03-17T10:13:53+00:00

Built in ovens are generally split into three size groups; Single built in ovens - these are 60cm wide, 60cm high and have one large cavity. Double built in ovens - 60cm wide, 90cm high and have two cavities of similar size, often with a grill in the top cavity. Double built under ovens - 60cm wide, 70cm high, with two cavities (one larger than the other). Designed to fit in the space between the kitchen plinth and worktop. These are approximate dimensions - the actual products themselves will vary slightly from brand to brand, or series to series - but the vast majority of built in ovens will fit into one of the three groups above.

Hotpoint Openspace Ovens - Versatile and Spacious

carl@bigblue.co.uk — 2010-03-16T16:17:33+00:00

Cleverly squeezing a 70 litre oven capacity into a standard built in oven chassis, the Hotpoint Openspace oven offers approximately 20% more cooking space than a conventional built in oven. This massive space is made all the more versatile by the use of an insulating divider, allowing the single cavity to be split into two separate cooking zones, each with it’s own time and temperature controls. Available as either a single oven only, or the split-able single/double oven models, all models are A-rated for efficiency, come with either Easy Clean, Catalytic or Pyrolytic liners, and feature fingerprint resistant stainless steel.

Stoves Gas Ovens Reshuffled!

carl@bigblue.co.uk — 2010-03-12T10:04:26+00:00

The requirements for all gas appliances to now be fitted with an FSD, or Flame Safety Device, has caused something of a reshuffle in the Stoves built in gas appliance lineup. Gone are the 600GR, 700GR and 900GR Rotostar models, along with the 600G single oven and 700GDO and 900GDO built in double ovens. Stoves have confirmed replacements for the 600G and 900GDO models in stainless and black in the form of the 600GT and 900GDOT respectively. The specification remains exactly the same for both with the addition of the FSD to meet UK regulations. The replacement for the 700GDO will be released imminently. All replacement models are expected to be available for delivery from the start of April onwards. Buy Stoves built in ovens.
