New World Cooker.
I bought this cooker, to replace another 'New World' cooker that I purchased 25 years ago. The fact that the prevous model had lasted a quarter of a century was a big incentive for buying the same brand. Overall, I think I made the right choice.
The design on the cooker has barely changed in nearly 30 years, the most obvious difference being that the new cooker is slightly smaller than the previous, so fits even better into its allotted space.
It has a decent oven, the prior model did not need to be preheated when cooking, this appears to be the same.
Eye/high level 'sola' grill. My old cooker was actually the first time New World had used the 'sola' grill technology. Still preferable to me to a combined grill/oven.
The old model had four identically sized rings on the gas hob. The new one follows the more modern trend of two ident, one large, one small. The piezo spark unit on the old model needed a battery to power it - the new cooker needs access to a mains socket, as the piezo spark is now connected to the auto-cutoff, which is not battery driven (the old model didn't have auto cutoff at all, so this is a bonus.
A minor gripes - the old cooker had a plate-warming rack, which was immediately below the grill pan. The new model, while apparently designed to a similar spec, has omitted the plate warming feature.
Other than that however, I look forward to seeing whether this cooker will serve me as well as its predecessor.
