Review of Esse Ironheart cooking range

Esse Ironheart

Lucinda 14 years ago

Had an Ironheart for two years and thought it was great all round, loads of hot water, a pleasure to cook on and kept me toasty warm. It clinched the sale of my last house and I'm shopping for another. \n\nThe big firebox is a huge plus, it's very responsive, the hotplates are hot enough to cook on within half an hour of lighting, I liked everything about it. My only criticism is that the oven is just too small to take Aga pans.\n\n
