Happy Halloween - celebrate the spooky season with Rangemaster

By Hayley Gilbert

Every October, once the leaves start to fall and the evenings are drawing in, there’s a delightful chill in the air as Halloween is on its way. And while we may not embrace it as fully as our American cousins, 31st October is a wonderfully fun time with the family. Think of all those spooky themed recipes you can create with the kids, the warming soups and stews you can look forward to after a weekend walk and how you can decorate your home both inside and out with all manner of pumpkins, skeletons, cobwebs and ghouls. Here at Rangemaster, we’ve got all the inspiration you need.

If you’re looking to invest in a brand new range cooker in time for Halloween or even Christmas, now’s the time to do your research into what features and functions suit your style of cooking. It’s no good just thinking about colour, finish and style alone – the best dishes come out of cookers that make life easier with the best features to suit your needs.

Take Rangemaster’s Elise Luxe 110DF for instance. Shown below in a sleek Slate finish with Antique Brass trim, this dual fuel model has a high-spec French feel, two large capacity ovens, dedicated deluxe glide-out grill and storage drawer. The main multifunction oven has seven functions while the fan oven has one and it also comes with catalytic liners for easy cleaning

Rangemaster range cookers, as well as AGA cookers, are great for cooking up spooky starters, sides, mains and finger foods for Halloween parties that kids and adults will love.

Rangemaster’s recipe for Halloween Biscuits for instance is so easy to make. Look for cookie cutters in the shops shaped like ghosts, bats, cats and pumpkins and make a variety that you can top with coloured icing then pop into a basket for any trick or treaters that pop by.

Get the kids to help make these Sausage ‘Mummies’ and for the meringue ghosts, simply swirl some meringue mix and bake slowly then add chocolate faces once cooled

Fan ovens are ideal for all kinds of dishes, from biscuits and bakes to tarts, puddings, flans, roasts, baked pasta and pies plus so much more. Fan ovens work by circulating hot air, which cooks food quickly yet evenly, especially when at a lower temperature than a convection oven. This prevents your dishes from browning too quickly before the inside is cooked through.

Rangemaster’s range cookers come with a fan assisted option in its multifunction ovens as well as standalone fan ovens (selected models)

If you’re a fan of slow-cooked casseroles and stews full of flavour, then take a look at the wide selection of enamelled cast iron cookware available at AGA Cookshop. It works so well because the cast iron design retains heat, which in turn radiates on to food to seal in moisture and flavour. Suitable for the oven as well as all hobs, including induction. We love it because it looks great when you carry it from oven to table ready for serving, too. Just add a hunk of crusty bread.

When healthy steam cooking is more your thing, then Rangemaster has the perfect range cooker for you – the NEXUS Steam. Available as a dual fuel or induction model, it comes with a dedicated injection steam cavity, a first for the range cooker market.

Use the oven to roast, batch bake and rapid cook, all in one appliance, with the added benefit of being able to retain vitamins, minerals and nutrients when you steam cook.

Steam your way to perfection with Rangemaster’s NEXUS Steam range cooker

Not everyone has space for, or wants a range cooker of course. If you’re looking to upgrade your existing built-in oven or are redesigning your whole kitchen in time for Halloween or Christmas, Rangemaster has a fantastic choice of built-in ovens and hobs.

This top-of-the-range model offers an impressive 13 functions – conventional, grill, fan grill, turbo grill, fan (bake), fast cooking, delicate, top heat, rapid response, defrost, duo, eco and steam clean. What’s more, it also comes with a meat probe, rotisserie, telescopic runners, grill insert and baking tray – perfect for all those spooky biscuits, pumpkin pie and sausage mummies.
