No longer an all-purpose stove-cum-boiler, a modern range cooker is sleek, convenient, and big. It has six or more burners, two or more ovens and all the mod cons you could want. Here's our pick of the best around.
Like many appliances, range cookers come with their own set of jargon and complicated terms. So before we get down to the list, here's a quick guide to what the terminology means.
A 500 degree celsius setting that burns off grease from your oven so all you need to do is wipe away a light ash after it's finished.
Special liners at the top and sides of the oven absorb spills, which are then burnt off.
With many models, it is necessary to keep the oven door open while you are using the grill. The closed-door facility makes things a bit safer in the kitchen.
An electric oven/gas hob combination.
A hob consisting of a smooth metal plate on which you can cook directly. Ideal for oriental or greasy spoon-style cooking.
An electric hob in which the heat is provided by electromagnetic coils beneath the ceramic surface. Because it only reacts to ferrous metal pans, the burner will not get hot until you are ready to cook, making it safe and energy efficient.
