Everything you need to know about range cookers!

Range cookers are very well known to be a feature in traditional styled country kitchens. But they’re now being more and more prevalent in modern kitchens. They’re a multi functional and multi purpose kitchen appliance. It’s the perfect way to make the most of the cooking space you have available. Range cookers often come with multiple ovens, grills, warming drawers and hob burners in different sizes.

So what makes a range cooker so popular?

Range cookers can offer so much more than a normal cooker/oven. If you’re someone who enjoys spending time in the kitchen and you want to cook up a storm, then the range cooker is the one for you! If you have a large family or need to cater for different dietary needs at the same time, you’ll be able to carry out your cooking simultaneously, thanks to the fact you have everything you need in one solid unit. This also means that it’s able to be installed easily or taken with you if you move house.

This style of cooker is an easy way to add a focal point in kitchen, but you need to make sure you choose the right range for your needs. So that includes the space you have available, fuel source and even colour! Originally, range cookers ran exclusively on solid fuels. However, you now have a choice between gas, electric or dual fuel. Because of the diverse range of cookers that are now available to you, it allows you to find the best one for your needs. Of course, everyone has different preferences. For example, if you would prefer to have a gas cooker, you may be required to look for a propane supplier, like https://www.nelsonpropane.com, to ensure that your gas cooker can work effectively. If you decided to go down another route, you will need to look into the steps needed for this in more detail. As such, fully electric cookers have removed the need for a working flue.

Don’t forget that ranges can be extremely heavy, up to 350kg for a cast iron one so your floor needs to be strong enough to hold the weight. A range cooker will also require an electrical power socket as well as a gas line depending on its fuel source. Most kitchens have space for these already, if not then you might need to get a specialty plumber or Electricians in Roswell to install these for you.

With all these considerations taken in mind, you are sure to find and install a range cooker that suits your home perfectly.
