I personally have tried placing pots on a hob which has flush rings . . . and, oh no! I wouldn't have one myself. You can so easily put fingers to near to the heat! We've had our stove for 15 years now and I'm in no hurry to change, though I shall have to before too long. Let us know what you find as a replacement. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim O'Sullivan Sent: Saturday, March 26, 2005 9:31 AM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Cookers - any advice out there? Hi I am about to buy a new cooker. This will be the hob and oven fitted type. Although the old one I have is electric I do have a gas supply and am open minded as regards it being gas or electric. I am wondering if someone could share some experience or point me to a resource where I could get some advice regarding accessibility and ease of use of such domestic items for someone with no useful vision. I understand that most modern electric hobs have the heating ring flush with the rest of the top of the unit which I would imagine makes it very hard to accurately locate and place pots on them. Thanks.
