This is a sturdy, well built cooker, and is British made. I cannot find anything about it that I do not like. The cast iron lid gives extra working space when it is down and the dials on the front look smart and are really easy to operate. The timer has a beeper which is loud enough to hear if you are in another room. There is plenty of room in both ovens and so far everything I have cooked or baked has turned out very well. The colour (hot jalapeño) is perfect and really jazzes up my kitchen. Everyone should have one!!!
