I’ve only given this cooker 4 stars, but compared to any other cooker I’ve owned or used (quite a lot) it’s definitely 5 star. I wouldn’t want to put you off buying it, but I do feel there are a couple of points where it let’s itself down, hence 4 stars and on a bad day I could say 3. So, I guess it’s 4 stars compared to what it could be rather than comparing to a different cooker. Okay, start with the good. It’s a gas cooktop that can simmer properly. Probably the only one I’ve ever used. It has a proper fan oven and a multifunction oven that, of course, includes a fan oven but also all the other ways of using it. When I say ‘a proper fan oven’, I mean something better than the fan-assisted junk a lot of makers use just as a selling point. I can put 4 trays of bread rolls in one oven and have them cook evenly. The fan ovens are amazingly quiet and they heat up quickly - astonishingly quickly with rapid heat on. I have had to drop the temperature and the cooking time of all the breads I make by quite a large amount. The oven timer is easy to set. Really, anything I don’t mention below is very good or excellent and I recommend this cooker - especially if you bake a lot. A tip: I renewed my bottle gas regulator and the medium sized gas burner now boils a litre of water 40 seconds more quickly. Of course, it’s noticeable in other cooking too. Two things that I really don’t like and that could be improved. 1: There is a very attractive towel rail along the front of the cooker. It looks great in the shop. At home it’s a different story. It obscures the controls and lights along the front and it’s a lot worse when there are towels or cloths hanging on it. I just left it off otherwise it makes the cooker very difficult to use: I had to keep bending down to see what the controls were set to. 2: The trivet or pan support is one where it’s easy to put down a smallish pot or pan (or slide it to somewhere) and have it tip. This is really bad and even Smeg can get that right these days, so surely Falcon could. Also, and a lot less important, the top of the trivet/support is made of castings which aren’t quite flat so pans can wobble a bit - not really a problem. A couple of even less important things The timer beeper is too quiet to hear. I don’t like the gap between the oven temperature dials and the mark showing the temperature - anyway why not digital controls these days? There’s no backup power for the clock. Every time the power goes off, the clock has to be reset. You can’t use the ovens without setting the clock. Surely that’s pretty easy to install. If you like cooking and have the room and the money, go for this. It’s a really great cooker.
