First, there was the toaster oven. This was shortly followed by the
Ito Yokado almost real, will accommodate a small chicken nut not a leg
of lamb oven. Eighteen months later came the microwave. But after,
seven years, we long for a roast leg of lamb, roast beef and potatoes
on Sunday afternoon. Can anyone tell me where I can buy a large
"gaijin size" oven or commercial oven. Or even put me in touch with
an exporter in Australia, the States, or somewhere.

TIA

How about a microwave/convectional oven combo? I use one myself. I found it in the garbage
Its not that big, but it is bigger than a normal microwave. I would imagine you could cook a chicken
or small turkey, although Ive never tired.

If I go electric I will definitely have to get an electrician to put
in a new circuit board and beef up the connection. Electric is
probably too difficult and costly. Went down to see the friendly gas
peopl the other day. After I made it clear that I wasn't really in
the mood to pay 650,000 little yennies for an oven, they relented and
gave me the general lowdown on the kind of oven I need to get. No
real problem. I hope.

Victor
