Range Cookers – A Timeless Classic
A timeless classic is something that will last the test of time in both functionality and design. Now, more than ever people are making decisions to buy the best they can so that they get the mileage out of their longer term investment.
We are often led by the heart and not the head when making purchase decisions. Planning a kitchen design requires both. It is the heart of the home where everyone gathers but also requires a logical process. Ascertaining how it will be used, the space needed and what key appliances should be included to make life easier.
Buying a classic range cooker for a new kitchen is a big decision. It can create the focal point to a kitchen design but importantly it is something people will get so much value and enjoyment from. They offer such a wide range of functionality for the busy family or enthusiastic cooks.
Range cookers are often on people’s list of desirable appliances to have in their dream kitchen. Their classic design is why they continue to be so popular. Classic doesn’t mean traditional, range cookers versatile form and functionality allows them to look good in whatever setting whether it’s a modern industrial kitchen or traditional shaker.
Whatever the kitchen design there is a range cooker to suit that home. They come in sizes from 900 – 1805 mm and even if the kitchen space is compact they can provide a flexible cooking area.
There is a wide choice of fuel options from gas, electricity to dual fuel. Dual fuel with a gas hob which is easy to control and fan assisted electric oven which supports spreading heat around the oven remain popular. However, the move to induction hob is increasing as it is easy to clean, faster, safer and can provide efficient cooking. Compatible induction pans will be needed such as cast iron or 18/10 stainless steel.
