Belling Countrychef 100G Width: 1000mm Gas Cooker Reviews

+ great look, cooks well - fits my kitchen perfectly

- some sharp edges

+ Great versatility with two ovens and multiple burners

- Hob design means that there is a raised edge between the left hand side burners and right hand side burners. You have to be very careful not to scratch it when taking hot dishes from the ovens.

+ Efficient, good sized ovens.
Good range of hob sizes
Lots of useful features

- Ignition button for hobs is not convenient - would be better on right hand side.
One more shelf per oven would also be useful.
Nowhere internally to store griddle.

+ Easy to clean, good range of burners, looks good

- Maybe oven space

+ Very stylish and easy to use. Gas hobs and ovens easy to clean.

- The numbers on the dial for the ovens not spaced out equally therefore a little difficult to gauge the correct oven temperature.

+ Plenty of hob and oven space, storage drawer, lovely design.

- none

+ all gas with plenty of features exelent burner capacity

- both ovens not wide enough for our baking trays and roasting pans

+ great looking and cooks brilliant

- Reviewer left no comment

+ easy to use

- none

+ being able to cook a family meal with ease on the 7 burners and 2 ovens.

- no bad points.

+ SLEEK DESIGN, GLASS LID FINNISHES THE PRODUCT OFF

- THE KNOBS ARE CHROME PLASTIC AND WILL START TO COME OFF WITH THE HEAT FROM THE COOKER, SHOULD HAVE BEEN METAL

+ everthing is straight forward, easy to use, looks good.

- there is no bad points.

+ style, ease of use, quality of build.

- a seeming (to me) illogical order of taps

+ Great look for a good cost.

- It doesn't have a light in any of the ovens which is odd, but this doesn't affect the food you just can't see it cooking.

+ Good looks and great price you can get better only by paying a lot more, it does the job well

- Not fan assisted should be a 7 burner instead of 8

+ easy to clean

- small ovens

+ ovens a good size, a nice range of burners too

- The only minus point for me with this cooker,is that the griddle plate is too long to be stored in the cooker/ovens when not needed.

+ lots of burners, dedicated grill, griddle

- ovens not quite as large as expected - will struggle to get large turkey in at christmas!!!

+ easy to use and clean with a double safety gas valves connected to hinged lid.

+ totally love my new cooker and keep cleaning it and moan at the family when they dont ! the two ovens are brilliant and make cooking for the family so much easier

- grill pan could use some improvement especially the handle and founf the rack on the grill pan a bit awkward

+ looked good in shop

- it was faulty on delivery so did'nt get chance to use it,glass in oven door very loose and one knob turned on when glass lid closed and its safety cut out so it should'nt have

+ Absolutely love everything about this cooker.
Bought it when there was £200 off it....even better!
Has lots of gismos and gadgets. You can't leave a burner on accidentally; when you lower the lid it turns EVERYTHING off. A fan runs to cool everything down a little, even after you have switched off. Amazing.
Love the fact that it is ALL gas, and not duel fuel (one of the ovens is convection).
Unbeatable at the price.

- None so far.

+ Very Pleased so far, Like the Glass lid easy to wipe so wall behind doesw not get marked and looks tidy when closed down and not in use

- I may have used a preset timer to start cooking whilst out, if the cooker could have incorporated a timer

+ Excellent cooker,really pleased with performance,perfect for a big family

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Lots of variables when cooking. I Like the different sized rings and we've used the griddle a lot.

- Shows the dust a bit!

+ Reviewer left no comment

- the grill compartment gets very hot when the bottom oven oven is being used. Needs more insulating

+ heats like the devil

- none

+ It is easy to use and to keep clean. The ovens cook evenly and at the right tempreture. The lid is a great feature as you can cover the cooker when out of use.

- The only point that I would make is that the oven could be a bit wider.

+ ovens cook to perfection

- timer not very simple to use

+ Liked the cut-off safety feature on the gas hob, and the fact it automatically turns off the control knob when the cover is lifted for future use.
Fan assisted oven excellent

- No back stop for lid.
Right hand oven door does not open within the width of the cooker, the handle hits the adjacent unit if located in a corner position.

+ Attractive design, good quality and solid all round performance. Very good cooking settings, and good flame control with different size burners.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Easy to clean and use

- Minute minder buttons very flimsy

+ Brilliant design.
Looks good.
Lots of burners!
Reasonable price.

- Ignition switch does not always work.
Ovens too small.
Griddle does not fit in storage compartment.

+ Easy to use, and like the layout of the ovens, grill etc.Have only used fan oven so far but am very pleased with the results. The glass lid that covers the hob is very useful and looks good too.

- knobs on the front of the cooker look cheap

+ Love the Wok burner & the griddle, like the clear glass & bright light in the fan oven our last cooker had dark glass and even with the light on we could not see what was cooking, wind down rear wheels are handy when you need to pull cooker out to clean around it,

- Would have prefered oven shelf supports to extend to rear of oven, a big bird at christmas might test the stability. wuuld like to be able to remove the glass lid as the stainless steel back splash looks better and is easier to clean.

+ overal pleasing to use

- none yet

+ I purchased it for my daughter and she LOVES IT.

- none

+ versitile cooking facilities on the hob. Seperate Grill, fan and conventional oven, glass lid , easy to clean

- ovens could be a little bigger, but then so would the price

+ Our first range cooker, not used all the hobs yet, the griddle that comes with it is excellent, 2 ovens but we seem to use the conventional oven rather than the fan assisted oven. The storage drawer is handy.

- The hobs seem to be very keen, even on the simmer level, don't know if this is a bad thing but I tend to find it a nusiance, the ovens are also narrow but for the cash you couldn't get anything better.

+ excellent value when in the sale, and nicely finished easy to use

- rings dont clean up very well

+ it's looks fantastic and it cooks fantastic , and best of all it was a good price !

- none

+ Hinged hob cover, wok burner, 2 ovens - 1 conventional + 1 fan, adjustable grill heights.

- None

+ looks good, cooks well , does what you want it to do

- oven smaller than usual so tinds don't fit,

+ smart looking

- small ovens

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Could do with the timer allowing a delay before starting.

+ Looks good, easy to use, great price.

- The tops of the gas rings easily fall off when trying to wipe the top after use.

+ very stylish and easy to use

- Griddle doesn't fit in the storage compartment

+ Easy to use. All knobs are well marked. Easy to clean. Looks good.

- ovens are not quite as wide as i would have liked. they looked wider than they actually were.

+ Powerful buners, efficient ovens

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Everything works beautifully. Great design and ease of use. Great feature in that the glass lid (if closed) cuts off all gas immediately ensuring gas leaks are not possible

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Looks Superb cooks well

- If you are lighting a gas ring on the far right of the cooker it is a long stretch to the far left for the ignite button.

+ i have never used a gas cooker before but this one is a breeze to use and worth every penny

- Reviewer left no comment

+ has everything i wanted and looks better than many other in price range

- no plinth to cover legs

+ appearance

- not found any yet? and hopefully i don`t

+ Reviewer left no comment

- clock doesnt work
very "tinny" not substantialy made
doors flimsy

+ almost everything is perfect about this product and well worth its money!!

- the handle on the grill tray and no where to store the griddle as the top does not close when its on there and it doesnt fit anywhere!

+ Everything!

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Simple to use. I'm not a big cooking fan and have only used an all electric oven before. The fan assisted oven is quick and easy. There's a good light inside and the glass is clear so i can see when i'm about to burn something. There's 7 gas burners on top and an extra griddle which can be put on/taken off. Haven't used it yet but looking forward to cooking some nice steak on it. Seems well built and for the money, you can't knock it.

- There must be one or two but haven't found them yet after 2 weeks.

+ Excellent overall cooker. Love the styling and the practicality of it. Exaactly what our growing family needs!

- Only one very minor negative, and that is that the timer is a bit odd to get used to - it's easy to change the clock by mistake. That's the only downside I've found so far, though, so not bad going!!

+ Ease of Use and good value for money.
Cooks well too!

- Only minor niggle is not having a timer to start cooking when out of the house.

+ This is the best purchase that I have ever made. A fantastic cooker that has made cooking a pleasure again and also improved the look of my kitchen.

- I can find nothing negative at all to say about it, an absolute joy to use.

+ Good value and general performance.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ good quality, nice colour and very practical

- could do with some sort of protective strip along glass lid so not to damage wall.

+ Large central gas ring with 2-tier burners. Looks are OK.

- Tinney drawer.
Not self contained, grindle cannot be stored anywhere in the cooker, ie drawer or oven.
Clock has to be set for every use as power requires to be on constantly to maintain clock, a massive drawback in these eco friendly times.
Glass cover squeaks/squeals horrendously when opening/closing.
Open nature of rear top panel beyond gas rings means spillages/food/liquid can fall down rear of cooker.

+ Glass lid is a nice finish to the product.
Good Wok burner

- One handle a little loose and can't see where you can tighten it.

+ This cooker is just perfect

- Only fault would be that there is no where to store the griddle when not in use as it does not fit in any of the ovens or storage draw

+ My friends cooker has crome pan grids (the bar work that fits over the gas rings), hers have got discoloured really quickly whereas the Belling cooker has dark grey, almost black, grill work and therefore should not do this. Because it has 2 ovens you can cook at completely different temperatures.

- None.

+ this cooker is simple to use,the two ovens are great if you have a large family.
it looks really stylish and modern.

- the only thing i can fault,is the grill pan handle which i dont think is sturdy enough to hold when the grill pan is full.

+ Adequate but not as good as our previous New World Millennium Cooker.

- A bit tinny and the depth is more than the stated 600mm due to the "decorative" front edging - gave some problems of location at a corner position. The "box" on the back hit the gas point on the wall and meant we had to move it along from the position of the previous New World range cooker and the extractor fan is no longer central (and can't be moved!) We also had to replace a 600mm unit with a 500mm unit in our new kitchen layout!

+ It's alot of cooker for the price

- Very tinny and lightweight

+ Does what it says - basic functionality is what we needed and it works really well. I particularly like the versatility of having the different gas rings

- There is a design fault with the griddle pan. If it is put on for use, the lid will not close. We think there is a real risk of breaking the top by closing it before removing the griddle

+ plenty of burners ideal for cooking for a large family especially with the different sized burners!

- the grill is hard to access particullarly as both myself and husband have bad backs the handle is hard to attach to the grill pan when it is inside the grill and we end up using oven gloves instead

+ good product. very easy to use. well laid out hob. quick to heat up.easy to clean

- feet too pliable - difficult to manoevure. grill slow when in use.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- oven is too small for all my dishes had to go out and buy new,also cant cook a 14'' pizza in it much to the horror of my kids

+ Great price, looks good, easy to use. The oven heats up quickly and a good range of ring sizes. There is also a large griddle that slots on the large ring that I wasn't expecting. The storage drawer at the bottom is really useful too. In short, I love it!

- Can't fit my big roasting tin in the ovens

+ easy to use and good value for money

- I have not come across any as yet

+ If you put the lid down whilst the gas burners are on, not only does it turn the gas off it also turns the knobs off.

- It is a bit "flimsy" - shame it's not a bit more solid. It should have auto ignition.

+ Lid makes extra surface space very handy
