Maybe it’s some sort of beauty secret from back then. The fat from the steak grilling might make your hair soft and your skin radiant.

“I’m delirious about our new cooker with the eye-level grill. Without my having to bend down, the hot fat can squirt straight into my eye” – Michael Flanders, 1957.

I’ve just been reading the small print: who would want a 3-ring cooker?

At a saving of nearly £15, her husband doubtless would.

Hmm… the faceless husband in the background coupled with the slightly psychotic look on her face? Anyone else think she’s grilling his face?
Probably just me then!

Crikey, that’s a lot of peas for two people

She’s sick of the drudgery and constant patronising tone of advertising copy…so she’s going to cook her own head. Tragic, but understandable.

I believe she is making sure the fat on the gammon doesn’t catch light. Mmm gammon, mash and peas- pure romance!
