I’d love to find a 1970’s oven

I can't vouch for a removable door but could it have been a Baby Belling? English Electric made some cookers which had peg-hinged lift off-doors. Do either of these brand names ring a bell with you?

I remember the Baby Belling, the mainstay of bedsit living everywhere for several decades. I used several over the years.

However heat control was poor and I was so relieved to leave the Baby Bellings to their fate as I moved to a flat with a proper kitchen.

I remember the baby belling too, we had one at work and used it to heat soups and pasties at lunchtime. It was tiny wasn’t it?
The cooker I’m looking for was almost the size of a full oven.
My daughter has a special birthday coming up and I’d love to get a picture of the oven to use in a collage of events through her life. I can’t believe I’ve forgotten the brand name!!

I had a baby belling when i first got married in the 70`s.
I had forgotten about it, so thank you for bringing lovely memories back Gr8dame.

You can buy an oven where the door opens downwards and slides underneath out of the way, while you lift dishes in and out. Sorry, don’t know the brand, but would be a better oven, with the facility you want.

Ah! I was assuming that as you saw it as a show, that it was smaller and more portable. The brands that I recall from the 1970s were Creda, Tricity, Bendix and Electrolux. Hoping that a brand name will trigger your memory. But are you saying the one you remember was just a oven without a hob?

Is it a Remoska?

You’re correct Silverbridge it didn’t have a hob but the fact that it had a 15amp plug made it unique at the time.

I had a wonderful Canon cooker with a built in rotisserie which opened up in the grill. The best way of roasting meat ever, on a rotating spit.

I have a Rowenta table top oven, I used to use it when I was still catering, it also has a grill and rotisserie.
It sits on top of the freezer and i use it all the time as it is quicker than heating up the main oven.
I have had it for about 22 years.

Slide away doors are on Neff ovens Feeling my age, I have two of these ovens but one of the door mechanisms ceased to function, not terribly reliable.

A Cannon Cordon Bleu eazy.
It was the dog’s whatsits in the 70’s.

Flavel and New World were popular makes of ovens in the 60s and 70s. But I don’t specifically remember any with removable doors. I’m intrigued now!
