I bought an oven from B&Q which advertised a capacity of 59 litres with 49=
=20
"usable litres"

When I did the measurements based on their instructions and which parts of=
=20
the oven I could and couldn't use, I ended up with 40 litres of usable=20
volume. This was being quite generous with measurements as well.=20
Measurements were taken touching the sides, element and back fan of the ove=
n=20
and the glass door so in reality there would be even less.

I contacted their Head Office and DEFRA and the reply was basically "tough =
-=20
this is the way we've always done it"

No reply from them (3 weeks and counting), sent them a nudge
yesterday. Re-iterating that the largest cylindrical container (and
therefore biggest thing you can cook) you can get in this 23L
oven is 14L and the largest rectangular one is 9L (30cm diagonal
by 20cm high)
