Hi Guys,

I don't mean to alarm anybody but go for electric hobs it's a lot safer then leaving a gas bottle in your apartment whilst it is unattended.
Not mentioning no names but one development recently had a few windows blown out by a faulty gas bottle.
This is just from a safety point of view,if you are still going to go with gas,the gas bottles are minimal in cost and will last you a very long time,just be careful.

I thought that electric cookers where quite expensive?

They didnt do electric cookers on the list, but from a picture of a turnkey apartment i seen a two ring plug in worktop thing. Not ideal really. Especially for you Lyndsay living there.!! You can always turn it off if not occupied for while I suppose.

The cookers are fine, and yes when you are not in Egypt you turn the gas bottle off so nothing to worry about i have pictures of mine if you want, but think the newer ones are better too.

Hi J4,

It's not the cookers that are the problem it's the gas bottles,It would be ok if you put them somewhere in storage if you could ,whilst your property is empty.
It's just a safety point of view nothing else.
Hope you are getting better.

Thanks awahee,
I'm coming too a bit now think its the over dose of pain killers.

It would be a good idea to store the gas bottles while not in hurghada, but they don't so lets hope for the best at least the gas is turned off, and don't think there is alot of gas left in mine anyway LOL. Too many fryups and boiling the egg's for the picnic's on the beach the last time we was over.

I hope you get better soon,I thought you had emigrated LOL.

You can tell Awahee's not a chef! My wife would go on strike before using an electric hob! Gas is far more instant and controllable and, yes, when you leave you turn the gas off on the gas bottle or disconnect it.

Hi lyndsay552,

Luckily we have Derek (Propertywatch1) who has been living out there and is better placed than anyone else to give you tips and prices. Firstly Elec Cookers can cost no more than £100-150 and therefore are inexpensive.

White goods in general are not that expensive. As for the issue of Gas bottles Awahee is 100% on the ball. People who have seen the lorries bringing in Gas bottles and how they are thrown around will know what I mean. Gas is okay if you are there and keeping a watch but elec is safer for all.

Ps for those who are renting out apartments can you really trust tenants/customers/strangers to switch off bottles????

Its a personal view and Im sure Peters wife and my wife both in their cosy homes prefer gas (the only way to cook a good curry) but Im sticking to elec and dont mind being called a bad chef..?

pps Anyone who has bought shares in gas bottles im sorry for depleting them.oops?

Regards
