I disagree a bit...I quite enjoy it nowdays (with the exception of Matthew Fort). It can be a bit of a 'here's my new book' at times but I actually enjoy Tom, Matt and Amanda

I expect Matthew would have thrown all his toys out of his pram if anyone attempted to tell him he was wrong

Doh....meant to say Simon Rimmer'S Dinners and Mr Rimmer but can't edit the post

I'm actually quite enjoying this series. Always thought Mr Rinner was a pretty good presenter and chef

I must admist it is absolute tosh (along with that Cakes rubbish) ...however, I'd like to give credit to UKTV Food for actually trying new programmes instead of repeats, which seem to make up the rest of the network.

Repeat TV of course, but I wouldn't mind if it wasn't so apparent that the 'judges' hadn't actually tasted the food

It's a water bath...see

Have to agree...the guy's ego has gotten the better of him

UKTV Food could save loads of money by recruiting local chefs and asking them about their food, passions, etc

I love the heroes but sometimes this seems more about Gary than the people taking part ?

Thanks for the additional info.

Thanks for the advice. Will look at the combi set and the JML (remembering the waranty)

My oven is fairly old (Newhome Stoves) and the timer settings seem to have gone a bit dodgy (basically can't start the oven or grill most times and get lot's of beeping and the gas burner 'powers' down, although occassionally seems to work). I've tried website and all sorts of combinations of the buttons.

I've contacted them but they say it will require an engi and £90 up front to determine the problem.

I don't do that much cooking but love backed potatoes and the microwave is pants

Thanks again

Hmmm...I'm thinking of getting one of these my normal oven has gone on the blink and I'm being quoted a lot of cash to repair it.

Anyone have comments, good, bad, indifferent?
