Buying a cooking appliance is a major kitchen investment, but most people find that they get more value out of their range cookers than they ever did out of their normal size freestanding cookers. Within a relatively compact kitchen space, ranges offer loads of versatile cooking space. Because they can have up to seven hob burners and four or five ovens/grills, they are perfect for large families or keen home cooks.
Best Dual Fuel Options
Dual fuel gives you the best of both worlds. You get the speed and flexibility of cooking on traditional gas hobs, combined with the flexibility of modern, multifunction ovens powered by electricity. Coming in a variety of wonderful shades and packed to the brim with all the best features you’d expect from classic kitchen brands like Rangemaster, Smeg and Britannia – we bring you the best dual fuel cookers.

FLAVEL Milano 100 MLN10FRK Dual Fuel Review
Wow. This one really is a steal! For a budget price, you still get all the freestanding features you’d expect.

And the design isn’t too shabby either!
- LPG kit available if you’re not on the gas mains
- Stylish black & chrome design
- Great budget buy
- Enamel pan supports (lower quality)
- Overall quality of finish lower than on other models
Our Verdict: Cheap dual fuel option that won’t be beaten on price.

BRITANNIA Delphi 90 RC9SGDERCR Dual Fuel Cookers Review
Britannia freestanding cookers with generous 80 L oven
We love the gloss cream colour of this Britannia model. Under a deceptively simple exterior is a high-powered kitchen appliance that offers speed, flexibility and all the modcons. Britannia products are known for their higher price tags, and this one is no exception – this is an appliance purchase for the dedicated and committed cook. We especially applaud the oven functions this model comes with – including a pizza function. With a large oven capacity of 80 L, this is perfect for people who love a good roast but it’s a shame there aren’t more oven cavities, as that’s what people traditionally expect from cooking on a range.
- We love the pizza function! (Defrost is also handy to have)
- Storage compartment with soft-close door
- Manufacturer’s guarantee: 2 years
- On the pricey side, there are cheaper options on the market
Our Verdict: This freestanding model looks smart and has loads of great functions but it’s also at the top end of the market, making it not a kitchen appliance choice for everyone.

The Richmond also boasts additional conventional ovens, designed for roasting or baking multiple dishes at a time at various different heats or cooking times. These operate from gas jets at the base of the oven.
On top of this, the Richmond features dual circuit electric grills akin to those of high-end electric and dual-fuel cookers. An electric slow cooking cavity offers yet further flexibility with your cooking whilst a plate warming function will be an additional convenience to any host. One slight negative point, however, is that the towel rail protrudes a fair amount and may pose issues for some users.
This cooker also features telescopic shelf technology, which ensures that hard to maneuver shelves are a thing of the past. It is now easier than ever to reorganise shelving heights to fit a number of different dishes and foods in the oven. This feature, along with the easy-wipe enamel, mean that this oven is a doddle to clean.

Leisure Cookmaster CK90G232K 90cm Gas Review
Cheap gas cookers from Leisure
A beautiful, sleek Leisure cooker that is both durable and easy to use. This is a real great budget buy, giving you undeniable gas quality for a cheaper price. The only (small) downsides are the smaller than average mains gas oven, and the gas grill that just doesn’t have the power of some of its contemporaries. Despite these small issues, it’s still a great kitchen appliance buy, and the large 79 litre electric oven should make up for the smaller gas one…
- Height adjustable
- A + energy rating
- Push button gas ignition (automatic is best)
- No slow cook feature
Our Verdict: Great gas ovens and burners at a very competitive price – this Leisure cooker is worth snapping up fast…

Freestanding dual fuel option with 120 litres of multifunction oven space
This Cannon model has a great contemporary design that would look great in any kitchen. We love the easy to use gas hob that comes with six burners, coming with over 120 litres of flexible cooking space. Speedy and of a high quality and finish – what more could you want from your appliance?
- Height adjustable front feet & mobile rear wheels makes this a nice one to install
- Warming drawer to help you manage your roast timings (always tricky)
- Ovens are only B rated for energy efficiency
Our Verdict: This would be a super option if it wasn’t for its less than average energy efficiency rating. Still, it’s a fantastic dual fuel model that’s certainly worth a try.

Superb value for money dual fuel option

Rangemaster Classic 60 Gas Review
Jazz up your kitchen with this cream and chrome classic mini cookers from Currys. Get all of the functionality and versatility of dual fuel cookers, in a smaller package. It still offers vast amounts of cooking space and will fit into smaller kitchens.

Though this cooker is smaller than the usual Rangemaster, it doesn’t compromise on functionality, offering lots of nifty programmes and features to enjoy.
The top (second) oven is a combined gas oven with integrated grill. This oven can handle a load of different cooking features like slow cook, crisp and defrost. The main oven is also a gas oven and offers a variety of different cooking programmes. This oven takes minimal maintenance thanks to the catalytic liners and chrome-plated ladders which ensure that oil and food debris don’t build up on the oven. This oven also comes with an interior light and timer, to keep you in full control of your cooking.

Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL90EIBL Review
Chunky & vintage Rangemaster induction range cooker
We love this freestanding electric range for its chunky and heavy vintage silhouette, coupled with a contemporary induction cooktop. This is the sort of range we can imagine gracing farmhouses up and down the country, with kittens curled up in front in a basket or two. Time to put the apple crumble on we think… (this range also comes in some lovely heritage shades like cranberry).
- Spillgaurd technology
- Rapid heating
- Full of high tech features not seen in others
- We loved everything about this range cooker!
Our Verdict: This Rangemaster induction model looks good and delivers on performance too. Bonus points for all the lovely shades, though we love the classic and easy to style black range that will look good anywhere.

Specifications:
- Range dimensions: 90.5 x 90 x 60 cm (H x W x D)

- Nite-Lite™ – After 10pm the clock will automatically dim

Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL110EISL/C 110cm Electric Range Cooker with Induction Hob
This electric range with induction hob from Rangemaster is the perfect choice for a household that needs to cook more than one dish simultaneously or like to have guests over.
With 2 large oven cavities, one an electric fan oven and the other multifunctional, 5 burners, a separate grill and even a slow cook oven at the bottom right of the cooker, this Rangemaster creates a cooking experience like no other.
We love the rack attached to the oven door, making cooking a joint of meat hassle free and much safer to remove from the oven, but our favourite feature has to be the pan detection on the induction hob. The top even concentrates the heat onto the base of your pans so no energy is wasted, and when turned off after cooking, the residual heat indicator warns you that the surface is still hot.
- 2 large oven cavities
- Slow cook oven
- Separate grill
- Handyrack for meat joints
- Pan detection
- Residual heat indicator
- A little on the expensive side but all the features are worth the extra spend!
Our Verdict: Whether cooking for guests or just yourself, this Rangemaster will create a cooking experience like no other. For those who love gadgets on their appliances, this could very well be the range for you!

Range Cookers Buying Guide
Buying a range cooker is a major kitchen investment, but most people find that they get more value out of their range cookers than they ever did out of their normal size freestanding cookers. Within a relatively compact kitchen space, ranges offer loads of versatile cooking space. Because they can have up to seven hob burners and four or five ovens/grills, they are perfect for large families or keen home cooks.
Cooking on a range is a great experience, and people tend to get very attached to their appliance. These stoves carry a sense of nostalgia and harp back to the days of cooking in large farmhouse kitchens. Often stoves got passed down through the family – ranges try to keep that family tradition alive; even today, loads are designed and manufactured in Britain by family-run businesses.
Nowadays, range cookers can be ultra-modern as well as funky and retro. Other than traditional British gas models, you can get them with induction cooktops using the latest multifunction oven technology. Traditionally range colours came in shades of black, cream and red, but now you can get them in pretty much all the shades (including pink).
These appliances offer a fantastic set of useful features like storage cupboards, slow cooking ovens and warming plates that normal cookers simply cannot provide.
As freestanding range cookers are larger than cookers or ovens, they are best suited to larger kitchens, though there are mini range cookers on the market now for people who prefer compact packages. Generally normal size range cookers retail around the £1,000 – 2,000 mark, but retro luxury cookers can be considerably more. Budget models start at about £500, but you will immediately notice a difference in the quality of the finish and the materials. Kitchen appliances like these don’t tend to come cheap.
What is a range cooker? What different kinds are there?
Range cookers are large kitchen stoves, echoing earlier kitchen times when cooking was done on large, heavy stoves. Range cookers are larger than a normal freestanding cooker and often have a retro or heritage design. They can have a number of burners and oven cavities; range cookers range from mini 60 cm ones to large 110 cm ones.
Gas
Gas versions are seen as classically British – they have gas burners (hobs) as well as gas ovens. Gas ovens can be temperamental and some people don’t like them because of their temperature fluctuations. Others find that cooking with gas ovens keeps food more moist and tasty. Generally gas hobs are seen as easy to use and safe; they are especially needed for they type of fast cooking favoured in Asian cuisine. (Incidentally, gas models often have a wok burner).
Electric
Electric options combine heritage range design with the latest multifunction oven technology. Electric options often have a ceramic cooktop and one or two electric ovens – one being multifunction, the other conventional or fan-assisted.
Dual Fuel
Dual fuel offers the classic combination of modern electric ovens topped with heritage gas burners. They are very popular, cost-effective, and tend to be the favoured range design on the market right now.
Induction
Induction ceramic cooktops use the latest induction technology in order to heat up pans directly, minimising heat wastage. Induction hobs look very smart and are becoming increasingly popular and many range-cookers are now coming out with induction hobs instead of the traditional gas ones.
Mini Models
Some freestanding cookers are styled as ‘mini-ranges’, imitating the classic range design on a smaller scale.
What are range cooker benefits?
The main benefits of using a range cooker are increased oven and cooking capacity, and a more flexible and versatile approach to cooking. Rather than having one or two cavities and four hobs, a range cooker offers a much more diverse and exciting cooking environment. With a range cooker, you could have two to three different kinds of ovens and grills, and seven burners to work with. Range cookers often look smarter and have more perceived (and real) value than other cookers on the market.
Range cooker features to look out for
Range cookers come with more features than basic cookers. When you go out and buy your range cooker, here is what you need to look out for:
- Advanced cooking functions: rotisserie, slow cooking, browning etc.
- Warming plate or warming zone
- Wok burner and griddle pan
- Roasting trays and racks
- Adjustable height or rolling feet
- Stay cool doors – especially important for families
- Fun colours – range cookers often come in cool shades like cranberry or champagne
- Light up dials – to help you see the dials at night
- Pyrolytic self-cleaning functions – a cleaning solution that burns dirt to ash
- Vapour clean system – pioneered by Smeg
- For gas cookers: automatic ignition and flame safety devices
Range cookers come (mainly) in these three standard heights and freestanding cookers will be marketed with their size clearly stated: 90cm, 100cm, or 110 cm. Mini-ranges can be smaller.
Range cooker cleaning and installation
Range cookers can be complicated to fit because of the their size and the way that they use fuels. Make sure yours is fitted by a proper installation engineer. Keep your range cooker healthy and prolong its life by regularly cleaning the hobs and ovens. Range cookers tend to last longer than ovens and regular cookers; they tend to be treasured appliances that people are proud to show off.
