Electric Cookers

Why Choose an Electric Cooker?

Thinking of adding a sleek new cooker to your kitchen? An electric cooker could be just what you need. With benefits like energy efficiency, even heat distribution, and easy installation, it’s no wonder they’re a popular choice for modern homes.

Electric cookers are rated for energy efficiency from A to G. The higher the rating, the more energy, and money, you’ll save in the long run. So, while an A-rated model might cost a bit more upfront, it’ll use less power every time you cook, making it a smart investment.

Safety is another big plus. Many electric cookers come with features like residual heat indicators, which show when the hob is still too hot to touch, perfect for avoiding accidents. Some models also include lockable controls to stop curious little hands from changing settings or turning things on. That means you can cook with confidence, knowing your kitchen is safer for everyone.

Types of Electric Cookers

Unlike integrated ovens, freestanding electric cookers don’t slot into your kitchen units, they stand alone, combining both the hob and oven in one convenient appliance.

When it comes to hobs, you’ve got options:

Ceramic hobs heat up quickly and maintain temperature efficiently by cycling the heating element on and off, great for saving energy.

Induction hobs use magnetic technology to heat only the area in contact with your pans, making them even more efficient. Just make sure you have induction-compatible cookware.

Both hob types are easy to clean thanks to their smooth surfaces. No more scrubbing around awkward edges. Prefer the control of a gas hob? Dual fuel cookers offer the best of both worlds: an electric oven paired with a gas hob.

Need more cooking space? A double oven electric cooker gives you two separate cavities, ideal for roasting a main dish in one while baking dessert in the other.

Choosing the Right Electric Cooker

Once you’ve decided an electric cooker is the way to go, it’s time to find the right fit. Most models come in standard widths of 50cm or 60cm, so measuring your space is essential.

Think about how much oven space you’ll need too. Larger families, or those who love to entertain, might benefit from a bigger capacity or multiple cavities to cook several dishes at once.

Modern electric cookers also come packed with smart features. Look out for:

Sensors that automatically adjust settings for perfect results.

Boost functions that speed up cooking times.

Self-cleaning tech like Pyrolytic cleaning, which burns away spills at high temperatures so all you need to do is wipe away the ash.
