Tulip's Kitchen: Does anyone know the model number of my oven?

Sunday 27 April 2008

Does anyone know the model number of my oven?

For cosmetic purposes, I'd like some new knobs!

But more urgently I need a new hinge for the main oven door!

This oven is a built in belling with a fan main oven and an electric top oven. It was new in 1999 but the model number was on a paper label inside the main oven door and was illegible when I moved in after only 18 months. Neighbour's who have the same model have the same problem and the numbers can't be read. I have pulled the whole thing out as one spare parts dept said there will be model number on the back...but there isn't!

Can anyone help? Belling can't, the house builder can't...I really don't want to get a new one as it works perfectly!!

Tulip said...: Hi Angela, I've had it out and taken a look on the back and nothing....we did have a data badge in between the door and the main oven but that has worn off...does your OH mean under the side panel? Never taken them off but will if it will save me the cost of a new oven. What is HRPC? Tell you what, I'll go and z-mail you.

Jan said...: I have a Belling - lovely oven but not true about it being on the back - even Belling themselves can't say why there is no model number on ours that is on a metal plate - Fantastic - NOT!
Do you want me to tell you where the model number was??
Oh - on a piece of PAPER that was stuck just in the nook and cranny bit of the oven door (I hadn't noticed it was made of paper when I cleaned it from new) so it burned on the first use never to be read agin LOL

Tulip said...: Jan - I know where it used to be...and it was on paper...and it burnt off before I moved in as did all the neighbours!!! (new estate!) Spare shops won't touch it, I'm still waiting for belling. I really don't want to change the whole oven just for a door hinge. Hey, do you have a belling, sell me your hinge!!!

This started out as a place for all those recipes on scraps of paper...

...the photocopies, my barbie folder, the crumpled napkins, the hastily scribbled notes, you know the sort of thing! But it has turned into so much more!
I now show all my pampered chef recipes, along with all my wheat free, IPD (Idiot Proof Diet) recipes along with anything I find off the IPD forum. I've even cooked up recipes for others as they'd like to see the dish made before attempting it. I'm open to suggestions but please remember that this was started as a personal project, I'm not a photographer, I don't get paid for it, its just for fun!

Feel free let me know if you have any questions or you need a recipe that I haven't posted or indeed any corrections. This is usually done very early in the morning when I've just woke up or very late at night when i should be asleep...you get the picture!!!

There is a 'translate this page' button at the bottom of the page should you need it, although it doesn't include translating my North East slang...sorry :-P

Cooking Tips

* Keep turning pork chops over, don't let the moisture cook out of them. Cook only till pink then let them finish off while resting, this way you won't over cook them.

* To test to see if an egg is fresh, immerse it in a pan of cold, salted water. If it sinks, it's fresh. If it floats, throw it away!!

* Get yourself a bunch of fresh corinader, wash and trim the stems. Dry on paper towels then put in individual freezer snack bags. Freeze. When you need some fresh coriander just get a pack from the freezer, crush or chop and add to your recipe.

* Use a pizza cutter to cut bars or tray bakes into nice, smooth squares.

* To keep cauliflower white while cooking - add a little milk to the water.

* Microwave a lemon for 15 seconds and double the juice you get before squeezing.

* To remove egg shells from a batter, use the remaining shell to attract the piece.

* If you need only 1/2 an onion, save the root half. It will last longer.

* One pound of all purpose flour is the equivalent to 4 cups.

* When using rice, remember that 1 cup of uncooked long-grain white rice makes 3 cups cooked.
