Pancake Day

[Lee]

One from last year 

Interesting, original format was avi (56,105KB) too big for here
Just converted to mp4 to see if I could make it smaller and it's down to 3,334KB

Didn't work as planned.

Fixed it now

Great bit of tossing Lee you're obviously a dab hand at that 

If you had inserted it in the post it would be clickable in the window. All media files should be inserted then they play in the forum window..at least that's the way I think it works now.

I'm also impressed with the tossing

Also... love the gas hob..... 

I've got electric... hate it 

[Lee]

Got to buy a new cooker soon, haven't had an oven for nearly a month.
Hob and grill still work so been managing

It's just I used to love gas when I had it years ago
Turn it up to full and you have full heat 

With electric I can go to the fridge get another beer
open it and have a couple of sips before before the
heat starts

Yes I agree I love gas for cooking. Due to the high cost of electric we have just gone over to a gas kettle. Our energy provider went bust and now we're with British Gas.
I sent them a meter reading on 2nd Feb and then again on 23rd Feb and they sent us a bill for £133, of that only £24 was gas and we cook on gas and our heating and hot water is gas too, we just have a couple of small elec fires in our sheds and one in the conservatory the rest is for kettle, washing machine and dishwasher.

Hopefully the gas kettle will cut the bill quite a bit...time will tell 

[BriansBrain]

Yep.....

I love electric for electrical things... electronics / motors etc:

But when it comes to heat, you can't beat gas

A tale 
Over 10 years ago I was doing up the kitchen, bought new units and an electric oven with separate gas hob to fit into the units. The intention was to get rid of the old gas cooker.

Using the grill on the electric oven I realised I'd made a mistake as everything took ages.
Also the electric oven cooked evenly top and bottom, the gas oven was brilliant for different temperature cooking.
you could cook gas mark 8 at the top, gas mark 6 in the middle, and gas mark 4 at the bottom all at the same time, and it would cook perfectly.
So using the excuse of our big family Christmas dinners we used to have, I said we should keep both as 2 ovens would be handy.
The gas oven went wrong about 5 years ago (valve not opening correctly, could be replaced but was struggling to find the spare), but not urgent as I still had the electric oven and the gas hob and grill still worked.
About a month ago the fuses blew while cooking, identified oven as the fault but haven't managed to find what is causing it to short the fuses?

So now I have 2 ovens that don't work, but still have a working grill and hob (+ a spare gas hob still boxed)

That's the first time I've seen an oven with vacuum cleaner incorporated 

Well it wont be too much longer before we are all forced to use electric for everything, gas will eventually a thing of the past.

I'm guessing I might not see that day at my age, but who knows 

[Lee]

The vac was there as I had just moved the cooker for the first time in years (I think I mentioned it before) and found a horror show 
All clean now
