It is grilling, 'rotisserie' and conventional oven. The idea is you can do trays of biscuits etc. I am a bit dubious as to whether I'll use it , but the 90cm ovens - which I had before (inherited it with the house) was a nightmare to heat up. I think/hope it will be good if you're doing a roast in the 60cm you can do a pavlova or cake in the smaller oven. I will try out the rotisserie as that looks quite fun.

I hope it is self cleaning.

Gert and Wonder, and anyone else with a kindle, do you have a special cover for the kindle for reading in the bath or pool? Cause with my luck I would end up drowning mine.

Bickie, I love the look of the big oven. Self cleaning would be great.

Lovely cupcakes and oven bickie.

Self cleaning would be great.

.....It's wonderful!, and worth every extra cent to have it too 
My Mum always said it pays not to scrimp on the items that you use regularly...so that's my mantra

I  never read with mine in water, but I suppose if you put it in a ziploc bag, its going to offer protection from splashes. A dunking may be another matter tho  I just love being able to read in bed and have the little light on, and having the page open up to where I was at when I last left off.

I crumbled yesterday and bought "Homemade" cookbook by Anna Gare.

[dede]

Brought myself a hand help mixer (don't think I need a big one)
A knife sharpener (sick of needing my knifes sharpened when DH is not around)
2 buckets (DH keeps taking mine)
And 2 pair of explorer socks for woman (as Tassie weather is freezing at the moment)

Oh and plus $400 worth of groceries

[obbie]

CP, I love Anna Gare...

Quickies in my kitchen series.
and The Best Of,....

jeninwa, I use a small zip lock bag when I'm reading around water. It's never taken a dunking but if you were worried about that I would probably cover in a layer of cling film and then into the zip lock bag and make sure it's closed properly and you should be right.

[jeninwa]

Thanks wonder would never have thought of a zip lock bag.

My big purchase was a new iron for DH

He burnt a hole in his shirt

I don't use them cause my mother told me never to touch a hot iron.

My surprise purchase today was some very expensive darjelling tea from T2, they sucked me in, this tea is only picked on day 1 & 2 of the harvest, warning bells should have sounded, but happily sipped on it, fhen was given the normal darjeeling, mmm, so I said yes will take some. At the till I was told it was $55!!!!!

 Paid cash so dh wont know. Its called Darjeeling First Flush, 50 grams.

First flush is right. $55 down the drain.
