Red [and] Hot

How's this snazzy number—an updated take on the staid AGA cooker—for a Valentine's gift? Instead of conventional knobs, the burners and griddle are regulated by twisting throttle-like controls [vroom!] which are built into the towel rail that runs across the front of the unit. Two of the four ovens are lined with silicon carbide, a material that has twice the heat-retention capability of cast iron. The Thermastone range was designed by David Fisher of Seymourpowell. mercuryappliances.co.uk
