Sarah Whitaker and her ESSE

[@suziegrinwis5512]

Hi Sarah, you have made me change my mind about wanting an AGA, well the seed for an Esse is planted anyway. Can I ask you which model of the Esse you have? And the smaller friend to the left? In your experience, how does the Esse compare to the AGA in the electric bill? Do you notice a noticeable difference? Thanks for your answer(s) and please add more videos, I love to watch them! You make it look all so easy and not fussy at all. Cooking is supposed to be fun and watching your videos always make me want to jump up and get at it! Thanks, Suzie

How do you install them like that? I’m looking at doing one but said needed to be 2 feet from walls.

Hi Matthew, Sarah's ESSE cooker is an electric model so clearance space is minimal. If you install a wood-burning model the clearance to combustibles will be greater. If you would like to email [e-mail] indicating the model, we can issue you the correct instruction manual. With regards, ESSE.

Esse are a traditional British engineering company based in Lancashire making superb products - I have had an Ironheart for over 18 years. There are so many innovative and creative cooks who, I am sure, would love to demonstrate and use these wonderful range cookers, such as the link with River Cottage. What a shame you have chosen Sarah to do this, given that until a few years ago she was singing the praises of Aga at Twyfords, Leominster - until they went down the pan. Nothing personal to Sarah, it just doesn't make sense.
