Single ovens have one large cooking capacity with 64 litres as standard, although they can run as large as 115L. Standard ovens come with a grill, conventional oven and fan functions while premium models can include special cook modes and self-cleaning options.
Compact ovens are smaller and are around the same size as a built in microwave oven at around 45cm high. They're always electric and are a good option for smaller kitchens.
Need more space for your ever-growing family? Look no further than a double oven with two generous cavities. Main oven capacities range from around 50-75L while the smaller top ovens have 35-60L capacities. Like single ovens, they can be built under the counter or built-in at eye level.
Big, hearty and traditional, range cookers and normal cookers are the freestanding juggernauts of cooking appliances. They usually come in a few standard widths that all manufacturers stick to: cookers 50, 55, 60cm and ranges 90,100,110cm; but make sure to measure for that perfect fit.
Electric, gas or dual fuel, ranges can have as many as four oven cavities and seven burners on its stove or hob. Due to their size, you may need to check that you have an adequate power source - most will require at least a 32 amp outlet.
Whether you want the precise power of gas cooking or the reliable results of an electric oven, picking the right fuel type depends on what kind of cook you are.
Electric ovens and cookers are the popular choice for the everyday cook, as they’re easy to use and give you tasty dishes every time. Most electric ovens use a fan to help spread heat evenly around the cavity for perfectly even results. Shop now.

There are a few different heating types to choose from. Conventional uses top and bottom heating elements that create hot spots. This is great for baking, slow roasting and cooking food at varying temperatures. Convection works the same way; however, it uses a fan to spread the heat around evenly. This is ideal if want to cook lots of things at the same temperature. You then have the popular multifunctional oven which will let you choose between both of the above methods, as well as fan cooking for fast and even results, a grill setting for that crisp finish and fan grilling for the best of both. Plus depending on the model, multifunctional ovens come with plenty more options.

Electric ovens and cookers use fewer units of energy than gas, however, gas models will still be cheaper to run, as they cost less per unit of energy than electric models. You should also factor in the size of the appliance when considering cost effectiveness, with a larger cavity naturally costing more to use than a smaller one. Electric ovens are still more popular because they come with loads of cooking features.
Standard grills will give your dishes that lovely crisp finish, while a double grill is ideal for making that extra large lasagne golden brown. And, a variable grill will let you set the precise temperature for complete control. Shop now.

This depends on what you’re after. Freestanding cookers are a great overall package with oven space and a hob on top. They also fit into an existing gap in your kitchen and are more flexible if you plan on moving house in the future. Built-in ovens seamlessly integrate into your kitchen units for a sleek modern finish.
Energy ratings for cookers and ovens are a simple way of understanding how energy efficient an appliance is. The scale ranges from G being the least energy efficient, to A which is the most efficient rating.
There’s no right answer. If you’re happy with a cooker being powered by just electric or gas, then single will work perfectly. But if you want the flexibility of both, then go for dual fuel.
You can easily find a product’s amp rating in the specifications section on the product page.
A built-in oven is placed in a kitchen cabinet at eye level, while a built under oven is placed under your kitchen counter.

The hot zone is the area directly above your cooker or hob. This is the space that gets hot when you cook on your hob. We recommend leaving at least 75cm of space between your hob and the cooker hood to protect your appliances, fixtures and fittings. Also, this area needs to be free from any flammable items such as wood, wallpaper, plug sockets, wiring or an overhanding boiler.
We do sell a range of ovens and cookers that can be converted to LPG.
A conventional oven uses a heating element at the top and bottom to cook your food. This method can result in hot spots, meaning you can cook foods at different temperatures at the same time. A convection oven uses the same top and bottom elements; however, it also uses a fan to spread the heat evenly and quickly for fast, balanced cooking.
A multifunctional oven comes with multiple different cooking methods, including classic conventional cooking, fan cooking, grill and fan grilling. The amount of functions will vary between manufacturers, but most ovens will have the above functions as standard.
Steam ovens use steam to cook your food, giving you beautiful results. They usually have some type of water tank or reservoir that you fill up, which turns the water into steam. Steam cooking retains the moisture in your food, meaning it keeps all of its mouth-watering flavour and healthy goodness.
Combination microwaves offer more cooking flexibility than a basic microwave. They combine microwave energy, a grill and convection heating functions so they can heat, roast, crisp and brown in the same way as a conventional oven. A combi oven on the other hand is a large cooking appliance usually found in commercial kitchens like restaurants, bakeries and food catering services. We don’t sell these types of appliances as they’re not suitable for homes.
A microwave grill is surprisingly enough, a microwave with a grill function. Convection ovens have built-in fans that push heat around so that it hits every shelf.
Dual fuel cookers give you the best of both worlds, because they use gas and electricity rather than just one. Most dual fuel cookers come with a gas hob and an electric oven.
Fan ovens have built-in fans that push hot air around inside. This helps the heat reach every shelf and corner of the oven, giving you more even results.
Range cookers are basically really big cookers, because they come with larger hobs and more ovens. They’re freestanding, traditional-looking and perfect for big families.
We hate to point out the obvious, but with us, of course. We’ve got loads for you to choose from, so have a browse here and see what takes your fancy.
