Its huge cupboard like capacity offers plenty of room for plate warming, holding food, proving dough, slow cooking stews, meringues, fruit etc; slow roasting joints (e.g. shoulder of lamb, pork belly); and drying out ingredients (mushrooms, tomatoes etc). This is a very versatile oven which makes light of entertaining and large and long meals, taking the pressure off the cook. Once you’ve used one you will not be without one. Many customers coming off latent heat cookers with simmer ovens adore this option.
All of the Lacanche electric ovens have an LED next to the control. While the oven is heating up the LED is illuminated. When the oven has reached the selected temperature, the LED will extinguish.
