This was the first free standing cooker in the UK to have a double oven and an induction hob. I lamented the lack of such a cooker back in August 2008 ... so lots of praise to Belling for producing one (although I doubt if it was due to my blog!). And even more praise for making it affordable.

You'll see some pictures around the internet that purport to be this cooker - in black - but, in fact, it only comes in stainless steel.

The bottom oven - is a multifunction oven with 9 functions, including fanned grilling and it has a fully programmable clock and timer

The top oven - in my opinion - is mainly for the variable, dual zone, electric grill but it also doubles as a conventional oven and would be great for keeping things warm, or for slow cooking

The hob - has four induction rings with rotary controls which feature: pan detection, pan overheat sensor, keep warm function and child lock. You can also buy a separate griddle pan to fit on the hob (part no: 082627434)
