Whether you want an electric, gas or dual-fuel Rangemaster, you can pick from one of our recommended range cookers, including accurate ovens, expansive grills and sleek hobs that offer ultimate control.

When it comes to the fuel type Rangemaster offer all the available options in the market but which one you choose might come down to your person preference or the availability of the fuel source in your home. 

• Gas range cookers: Rangemaster offer a range of gas ovens suitable for natural gas and in some instances LPG. Natural gas also known as mains gas is available in most areas so is the most common option. LPG cookers are often needed in off-grid rural areas, these cookers need an LPG supply from a cylinder or tank of propane gas. If you require LPG jets for your hob we can supply these free of charge when you make your Rangemaster purchase, please make us aware so we can post the parts to you. If you require a gas cooker with a gas grill then LPG models are only available in the 110cm size.
• Dual fuel range cookers: Rangemaster dual-fuel cookers feature powerful gas hobs and electric ovens, combining instant heat and precise temperature control of the hob, while the electric oven provides even heat distribution. The gas cooktop also provides a hands-on experience of open-flame cooking.
• Electric range cookers: We find that electric range cookers with induction hobs are the most popular type of cooker, they are the go-to fuel type for the economically conscious consumer and essential for properties with no mains gas supply. Before buying an electric cooker you should check your energy supply and fuse to ensure the cooker you are wanting to buy is suitable for your home. All electric cookers should be installed by a qualified electrician.

The cooking appliance that you buy for your kitchen should be suitably sized for the space you have available. For example for smaller spaces or apartments a 60cm cooker or mini range cooker would be a good choice. For larger kitchens, a 90cm, 100cm or 110cm wide cooker would fit better and these range cookers will help to create a functional statement piece.

Large Rangemaster range cookers can offer over 30% extra space in their oven cavities than an average built-in oven, you can also cook a variety of dishes and keep food warm without worrying about the timing as much. With a spacious 110cm Rangemaster cooker you can cater for large families, there is ample cooking space available and lots of these cookers have 2 or more ovens complete with plenty of oven shelves for cooking multiple dishes.

The key consideration for choosing a cooker is to bear in mind the style and size of the appliance before you design your kitchen. A great kitchen blends the appliances perfectly with you cabinetry and more importantly, it all fits together.

Rangemaster range cookers come packed with handy cooking functions that make your job in the kitchen much easier. Here we’ve given you insights into our favourite cooking functions and features that make cooking on a Rangemaster a real joy.

Slow cook ovens: A Rangemaster with a slow-cook oven could be the deciding factor when it comes to choosing which cooker is best. As well as enabling you to cook using a slower, longer programme (typically between 80˚C and 140˚C), they can also be used to warm food, plates and cups.

Bread-proving drawer: You can prove bread in the bread-proving drawer of your Rangemaster range cooker. These drawers which can also be used for storage contain a very low wattage electric element, this allows warmed air into the drawer at the optimum temperature to prove your bread, pizza dough or pastries. The proving drawer could also be used to melt butter, rest meat or warm plates ready for serving.

Fanned grilling: A closed-door grilling function that uses a fan to distribute heat evenly around food. This is ideal for cooking thicker pieces of meat or fish.

Glide-out grill & trivet: Positioned on the smooth pull-out telescopic runners, the glide-out grill makes it easier to check up on your food whilst it is grilling. The trivet within lots of Rangemaster grills offers cooking flexibility, there are four grilling depth options to suit every type of dish.

Rapid response oven: The rapid response is a feature on a select few Rangemaster ovens that preheats the oven 30% faster than a fan oven. This feature can be super handy when you’re juggling various dishes or in a rush to get your meal on the table. With rapid response, you can start cooking immediately, and you can even put chilled food into the cold oven.

Defrost: A function that uses a fan to circulate cold air to defrost small items of frozen food. This is a hygienic way to defrost food without leaving it out on the kitchen surface overnight.

Base heat: A function that uses the base element only. This can be used to crisp up pizza or quiche bases, finish cooking pastry cases, slow cook casseroles, or warm plates.
