Electric Cooker With Eye-Level Grill Is A Real Help

Hello
I'm unfortunate enough to have multiple osteo-arthritis and fibromyaglia neither of which will ever get better.With my current cooker,the grill was below the four main rings which required bending somewhat.Below that sat the oven which was never used.In other words a useful cooker but not suited for myself sadly.
I recently found a free-standing electric cooker with an eye-level grill and went into my local store for a demo.The demo was indeed eye-level and the grill pan had some interesting security features built-in.It ran on two secure rails.You could pull it forward and it would tilt down allowing food to be cooked and turned without removing the grill pan.You could even see the food cooking which was a real bonus.To remove the grill pan,it had to be pushed right back and then lifted off over the security rails.Even better was the fact that the grill pan had two large handles either end to grip.The element runs right across the grill width to ensure even cooking.It was ideal for someone like me with arthritis in both hands.
Thankfully its also slightly wider than the average cooker.There are also four main heater plates and below is a raised fan-assisted oven with a fair size space at the bottom for storage.All the elements heat up quicker and cooking times are reduced.Needlesss to say I bought one there and then and which was installed on Friday for me!
Its also very expensive but according to the shop its a great seller.(I assume being electric its the only one of its type on the market.) I can see already from cooking two full meals that this purchase was worthy of my spending money.I also took an extended additional 2 year warranty for £50 which kicks in at the end of the first year of guarantee.
For me personally it means no more bending in half to see whats cooking.With arthritis in my neck and spine,coupled with balance and dizzy spells from the arthritis,this cooker is a true god-send! I believe its a really great purchase, and, for once, its British made!
If you go to www.newworldappliances.co.uk and look for their model no. 55HGLE. There is a factsheet which you will find useful.I don't work for them,nor the shop I bought mine from,nor am I on any commission,and no,its not 'spam' either!I just simply want you to know of this great worthy product that I have bought.
All the best.

That sounds wonderful.
I understand exactly what you mean about bending to see into the grill and trying to lift the grill pan out. Mine has one handle which even with two hands I struggle with, moreso as Im bending down to do it which puts me off balance too. Sounds like a perfect solution. Would love to be in a position to get one for myself but its great news that it helps you so much. Anything to make everyday life easier and you feel more independant.
Pleased for youx

Hi, I'm glad you are truly delighted with your new cooker -now you will be able to use more than just the hob. Isn't it great when you find something that suits your needs and makes life easier?! Makes you wonder why you put up with the older version for so long.
So what's for dinner tonight? We'll all pop round ...!!
SpeedyI have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.0 -

For years I have had an eye level grill and oven that I do not need to bend double to use it
Gas hob with a non -see through lid which, when closed is flush with the worktops, so if I don't have time to clean the hob, no problem! I love my kitchen
Happy cooking!

If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.0 -
Hi We've just had a new kitchen fitted and when we planned it, I insisted on a seperate hob with an oven and grill and microwave seperate. The doos pull down, so its easy to put things on the door and slide over to thhe work top. Wonderful, but must be done at the planning stage, so worth giving though to, even before you need it!

Hi eastmidlandsman - excelllent welldone for finding it, about 18 months ago I searched everywhere to find and electric oven with eye level grill (not for myself). I could not find one anywhere. Pleased to see they are back on the market. I would have one if I could but can not afford one now need to watch the pennies (don't know how long I will be off work).
Happy grilling
