This cast iron range cooker has a timer that allows you to run it exactly as you want to. For example, during the week you might choose only to have it up to temperature ready for you arriving home from work each evening. At weekend you might also have it programmed for a leisurely cooked breakfast on a Saturday, or a mid- afternoon Sunday roast if it suits your family routine.
The CAT does have the potential to be used as a simple on/off appliance but we recommend using it in 'slumber' mode. This means it can go down to an extremely low setting, which uses a negligible amount of energy - but from which it can be back up to cooking temperature in just 15 minutes.
