Cooker for Use with Magnalite Cookware and Club Aluminum Cookware
Posted by: | CommentsBritannia Classic Review
Classic curves and ornate craftsmanship are back in fashion. This article reviews the features of the Britannia Classic range cookers that claim to inject a touch of elegance into your kitchen.
As its name suggests, the Britannia Classic range cooker has an old- fashioned but elegant style, which stands out amongst many contemporary selections and swaps straight edges and sleek, simple lines for classic curves and ornate craftsmanship. A few decades ago, this style would have been the norm, but what was apparent in style was not matched by the convenience and efficiency available back then. The Britannia Classic seems to have combined the classic style and look of the cooker with modern features such as triple glazed doors, electronic programmers and energy efficiency ratings of A.
The Britannia Classic is available either as a twin-oven or single-oven with a brass or chrome trim. And if you never have enough room on your grill, there is also a dedicated grill compartment available if you decide to choose one of Britannia’s XG range cookers. If not, then there are grills in the ovens of the other cookers within the range.
There are three colors to choose from in the Britannia Classic range. They are stainless steel, glossy black and cream. I shall guide you through the features of one of the mid- range appliances within this selection: the Britannia Classic 100cm twin oven, but the Britannia Classic is also available in sizes 150cm, 120cm, XG 110cm, XG 100cm, 90cm twin, 90cm single.
This range cooker is available either a dual fuel with an electric oven and gas hotplates or as an all- electric appliance with electric oven and ceramic hotplates. There are advantages to both. Some people prefer the look of the gas hotplates, which look particularly at home on the Classic range. The ceramic hotplate looks perhaps a bit too modern and out of place with this range, but it is easier to clean. If you prefer a gas hotplate, it comes with electronic ignition, which ensures that lighting the burners is simple and easy. It also comes with flame failure devices that sense when no heat is being generated and will automatically turn the gas off, taking the worry of safety out of the gas hotplate option.
Both ovens in this range cooker include stay-clean liners, which help to keep the oven like new for longer. This feature requires that to clean the inside of the oven all you have to do is heat your oven for about 45 minutes and then simply wipe the inside clean. So it does not clean itself, but makes the job a little bit easier.
The left oven is the larger of the two and in the 100cm range cooker is 60cm in size. It has nine functions and a Quickstart fast preheat system, which means that the oven can get up to a temperature of 200 degrees Celsius in just a few minutes. The right oven is the smaller at 40cm and has four functions, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in taste because it includes a rotisserie for spit roasting pork, chicken and other meats.
Britannia prides themselves on providing cookers that create great- tasting food and hold cooking demonstrations across the UK.

Magnalite Cookware and Best Kitchen Tools in the World?
Posted by: | CommentsDo Rosle Make the Best Kitchen Tools in the World?
A look into the world of Rosle utensils and the concept behind the company that brings renowned German engineering to the kitchen.
Rsle was started in 1888 by Karl Theodor Rsle as a company providing industrial roofing solutions. They expanded to design kitchen utensils just before WW2 with rapid growth during the 1950s establishing Rsle as a familiar and highly desirable brand within the home. Rsle invented the open kitchen concept and in 1993 the Rsle Company became solely dedicated to the manufacture of kitchen tools.
With this industrial heritage in mind, anyone discovering the Rsle brand for the first time will instantly recognize the very typically Germanic robustness of their designs. Unlike other kitchenware manufacturers who may concentrate on either design or function, at Rsle these two aspects are seen as interdependent and integral to the fabrication process as a whole.
These are kitchen tools engineered to perfection, with the design and development time for each utensil being on average two years to produce the precise standards and specifications which make Rsle utensils the favorite of professional chiefs worldwide.
The Open kitchen concept is very important to the Rsle design ethos and it could be said that within this concept lies the very essence of Rsle design. An example of this can be seen on the Rosle page of the Cooks and Kitchens website. Using the Rsle rail storage system, beautifully designed utensils are rescued from invisibility in drawers and cupboards and displayed for both show and utility. The expandable and versatile system allows Rsle users to tailor it to their individual needs with the rails able to be wall mounted or fixed below kitchen cabinets.
Paper towel rolls, spices, jars, cookbooks and even a sleekly designed hanging clock, all find a practical position and every item is visibly displayed close at hand ready for use. The Open Kitchen has caught on to be one of the most popular concepts in contemporary kitchen planning with designers celebrating Rsle’s original ideal of combining a pleasing ambiance with a workable functionality.
Today most of the Rsle range is still manufactured at the company’s factory in the small Bavarian town of Marktoberdorf. Designed for optimum performance, comfort and appearance, and with a lifetime guarantee.
Rsle cookware offers a complete integrated system of kitchen utensils, cookware tools, colanders, casseroles, frying pans, skillets, barbecue utensils, barware and more. Made from the highest grade 18/10 stainless steel, these are utensils that promise to make food preparation a joy for both hobby cooks and professionals alike.
Those who take their cooking seriously will be convinced as soon as they hold one of these tools in their hand, having the chance to admire the attention to the finest details and to feel the reassuring solidity of the weighted cemented stainless steel handles. Those in search of high utility solutions and ingenious ideas need look no further than the Rsle brand name.
