Dual fuel is the most common choice, providing
the versatility of multi-functional electric cooking and the quick reaction of
gas burners. All electric is an excellent option if no mains gas is laid on.
However, you may also want to consider LPG ? some manufacturers will adapt a
range cooker for LPG and this saves you the hassle of arranging this yourself.

Once you have decided on your style of range cooker, chosen your color
(stainless steel is most popular) and opted for either a dual fuel or
all-electric model, there are a number of other features to look out for.

Useful features include:

Electronic programmers ? ideal for those of you with hectic lifestyles, these
allow you to programmed start and/or finish cooking times. If time is really of
the essence in your kitchen, look out for special features such as fast
pre-heat which ensures less time is spent waiting for the oven to reach perfect
cooking temperatures.

Oven size ? especially secondary ovens can be relatively small. It may be worth
going for at least a 100cm cooker instead of 90cm as the larger width will
mainly benefit the second oven. You can also login to www.tailgatting-recipes.com.
Beware that some 100cm cookers have a relatively small secondary oven.

Stay clean liners or catalytic liners ? these will help you to keep your oven
interior in pristine condition! Look out for replaceable liners as they may
need to be changed after several years of heavy usage.

Triple glazing ? this will ensure the cooker doors remain cool when cooking (a
must-have for families with small children).

Individual pan supports ? these are easier to clean under the tap than large
pan supports.

Triple ring burners ? these are very useful for large saucepans, frying pans
and woks. Depending on your cooking style, you may prefer to have two triple
ring burners rather than one.

Separate grill compartments ? great if you love your grills. However, many
cookers have a grill in one or two of the ovens. A grill in a multi-functional
oven will provide you with the possibility of fan assisted grilling, which is
more suitable for grilling chops, sausages and mixed grills. Fan grills reduce
spitting and splashing which makes for a clean oven and also reduces the number
of times you have to turn or baste. These grills are usually used with the door
closed which offers great safety to both cooks and their children ? plus very
even cooking. Some ovens will also feature a rotisserie and this provides a
great way to cook succulent pork, chicken, duck and game birds.

Griddle features ? can serve as barbecues, frying pans and woks. The Chef Top
is made of pure thick stainless steel and has remarkable heat storage
capabilities. It is also durable and easy to clean.

Telescopic trays ? these roll out the shelf or grill to help eliminate
unnecessary lifting or reaching over when handling heavy dishes from your Range
Cooker.

“A” efficiency rating ? watch out for ovens that carry this rating
(this is important for both ovens on double oven models).
