The new Mercury Thermastone is a heat store range cooker in an inspired world of its own:
The cooker uses gas and electric for the hob, the ovens are electric, but they work in the same way as a normal heat store range cooker, (i.e. like an Aga), they take 6-8 hours to warm up from cold, but once warm they hold their heat.
The heat from the right hand ovens actually warms the left hand ovens, however unlike an Aga, they can be switched off in the summer and they can be operated individually.
Features include:
- Gas burners – two dual control gas burners with a range from 0.5kW to 4kW.
- 500mm cast iron chefs plate, electrically heated with graduated temperature zones.
- Ovens – four in total, hot oven for roasting (240°C), medium oven for baking (190°C), slow oven for simmering (120°C) and holding oven (60°C); the ovens are manufactured from Silicon Carbide, which is hardwearing and has a high thermal capacity.
- Dimensions 1090mm width x 900mm height x700mm depth plus 78mm for the control rail.
- Finish – Vitreous enamelled front panel and outer doors, Teflon coasted door inners with silicon rubber door grips.
- Available in six superb colours, Garnet, Calcite, Azurite, Basalt, Portland, and Graphite.
Approximate price is £7800.
