Mini-Cooker For Flats

An electric mini-cooker with thermostatic controls, which will appeal to many people who live in bed-sitting rooms when it comes on the British market shortly, was described by Allan Murray in the 8.8. C. World Service programme “New Ideas.” , “The Toaster-Oven,’ as it is called, takes up very little space on any convenient ledge or table, and you simply plug it into the nearest electric power point,” he said. “Behind its transparent door there’s an oven big enough to cook any individual dish—a joint, a casserole, or a pie. Or you cab use it as a grill for anything from a couple of steaks or chops to toasted sandwhiches and savouries as well as for making plain toast. Under the door there’s a sliding control for selecting either the grilling element or the two elements, one below and one over—head, for oven cooking and toasting. As a toaster, it can be set for any degree of browning so that when the job is done, the door opens automatically and the toast pops out This neatly designed unit seems good value at well under £11.”
