Why choose a range cooker?

Range cookers offer more flexibility than standard cookers, giving you the space and control to cook multiple dishes at once.

Key benefits include:

  • Multiple ovens for cooking different dishes at once

  • Larger hob areas with more burners or zones

  • Options for gas, induction, or dual fuel cooking

  • A statement design that enhances your kitchen

They’re ideal for families, keen cooks, and anyone who loves to entertain.

 

Choosing the right size

Range cookers come in a variety of widths, typically:

  • 90cm – the most popular choice for most kitchens

  • 100cm–110cm – ideal for larger households or frequent cooking

  • 120cm+ – perfect for serious home chefs and statement spaces

The right size depends on your space, how you cook, and how much capacity you need.

 

Fuel types explained

Understanding fuel types is key to choosing the right model:

  • Gas – instant heat and precise control

  • Induction – fast, efficient, and easy to clean

  • Dual fuel – gas hob with electric ovens, offering the best of both

If you’re unsure, we’ll talk you through what suits your cooking style and home setup.
