Thinking built-in? Think again......... Can't decide whether to opt for a free standing range cooker of a streamline built-in model? Many people are concerned that a range cooker will over power their kitchen or that they simply don't have room to fit one in. In fact, a 90cm model is only 30cm wider than a conventional built-in oven, but the amount of additional features you can pack into this space is amazing - so in some cases it can actually save you room! Read on for more advantages of range cooking.
Whether you are planning a traditional or an ultra contemporary kitchen, there is a range cooker designed to fit perfectly into your design scheme.
When you purchase a range cooker, you only have to buy a single item rather than all the other pieces associated with buying a built-in option e.g. worktop and cabinets.
Typically 20% bigger than an average 60cm built-in oven which means you can cook more and worry less about timing your dishes and keeping food warm.
So you can cater for bigger groups and, because there is plenty of cooking space all your dishes can be cooking at the same time leaving you free to enjoy being with your guests.
Most range cookers offer a dedicated high powered grill designed to grill or brown your dishes to perfection.
A 90cm and 100cm range cooker offer five burners and a 110cm product offers as many as seven burners giving you all the flexibility you could need to create the most sophisticated of menus.
For some dishes such as stir fries, you just need power; a wok burner will get you there faster and help you produce the authentic taste of Asian cuisine that an ordinary hob cannot.
Whether a small or large kitchen, range cookers start at 90cm wide and include two ovens, a separate grill and five burners in that space.
Some range cookers have a handy storage draw which is ideal for storing all those baking trays and roasting dishes you want to keep out of sight.
While stainless steel looks fantastic in many kitchens, it needn't be the only choice. Bring your kitchen alive by choosing a range cooker from an array of stunning colours.
Range cookers vent through the rear of the cooker so cooking odours and steam are more readily extracted through the cooker hood.
Multi-functions can include defrost, fanned grilling, browning element, rapid response and fan-assisted oven.
