Style and sturdiness are the keynotes of the new Diamond Series of heavy-duty gas-burner ovens from Imperial.

The body is built from 16-gauge steel and has a wide, high shelf and front ledge, sturdy 2.5in-diameter legs, and cast-aluminium knobs with Vylox heat protection grips.

Inside are porcelainised surfaces for better browning and easy cleaning, an M-shaped oven burner for even heat distribution, and a precise thermostat.

The standard oven achieves 40,000BTU per hour while the convection model with electronic ignition system offers 35,000BTU per hour, which is said to be 21% more efficient than other models on the market.

Both use wavy grates mounted flush to the front ledge that lift the pan off the surface to improve heat transfer.

Buyers can opt for a standard oven base or a sizzle'n'chill base which maintains a constant 2-4°C drawer temperature.
