Why Should You Consider Buying a Range Cooker

When you decide that you are looking to buy a range cooker, there are a number of things that you will need to consider. We’ve condensed these into the following points:

• You need to find the type of fuel types that you want to use. There are four main types including dual fuel options. We have noted the different types of fuel options below.
  
  
• You will need to decide the style of range cooker that you like as well as the manufacturer that you like. The look and feel of your range cooker is very important as they are a significant investment. You will also want to match the style of your range cooker to your kitchen.
  
  
• Your cooking style is also important. You may want more burners or increased cooking capacity 

Fuel Types Available For Range Cookers

There are a number of different fuel types available for range cookers and others have multi-fuel options to suit your needs. Gas and electric are the most common fuel types as well as a combination of the two. Gas provides faster instant heat but requires regulation whereas electric is a more consistent cooking temperature. Induction hobs for range cookers are also available which uses electromagnetic induction. Choosing the fuel type that suits you is down to personal preference as well as your cooking style.

Deciding Your Budget

Range cookers are a significant investment so it’s important to decide on your budget now that you have decided the style and fuel type of your desired range cooker. Deciding on your budget allows you to narrow down your search when looking for your range cooker. Energy efficiency can also help you save money on energy bills.

Range Cooker Energy Ratings

Range cookers like other appliances are rated on an electrical efficiency rating from A+++ to G. Older appliances are likely to be less electrically efficient as age and general wear and tear will reduce the overall efficiency of the appliance. This is why new appliances can be a great investment, especially if you are looking to save money on your energy bills.

Catalytic liners, pyrolitic cleaning, griddles and hotplates, wok holders - there are a lot of additional features to choose from. If you find a feature that you find will really help with your cooking then it’s important to find features that suit you.
