\"Oven\"Someone once said that the best party is always in the kitchen. They may well have been referring to the fact that is normally where the alcohol is kept, but the truth is that a good cooker is at the heart of any welcoming kitchen. From a wide selection of Rangemaster ovens to classic Richmond stoves there are plenty of options in all sizes and colours. Because who ever said an oven has to be boring?<\/p>\n

Oven, Cooker & Hob Buying Guide<\/h2>\n

\"Oven<\/p>\n

In this guide we take a look at the different types of cookers available, and the things you need to think about and look out for when you go to replace the heart of your home. From Range ovens to ovens that are built in units, there are plenty of choices when it comes to choosing the right cooker for your specific space.<\/p>\n

Fuel Supply<\/h3>\n

Nowadays the fuel supply available to your home can sometimes be limited. Some new build locations only have an electrical supply, meaning there\u2019s not a lot of point in ordering a gas oven for your home.<\/p>\n

So, investigate what type of oven you can actually have installed and, once you know that, you\u2019ll have narrowed down your options and made life easier for yourself.<\/p>\n

Types of Ovens<\/h3>\n

Electric Ovens<\/h4>\n

\"ElectricIn a standard electric oven the thermostat dictates the heat that will be in the middle of the oven. This means that the top of the oven will be slightly warmer than the middle (as heat travels upwards), and the bottom will be slightly cooler.<\/p>\n

This is ideal if you regularly cook different types of dishes at the same time, but can be slightly tricky to manage if you don\u2019t. It\u2019s also worth bearing in mind that it takes a little time for this type of oven to reach cooking temperature.<\/p>\n

Fan Ovens<\/h4>\n

Fan ovens have, as the name suggests, a large fan at the rear of them that is surrounded by a circular heating element. This allows the temperature of the oven to be even throughout, and the fan element ensures the oven heats up quickly to the required cooking temperature. This not only reduces cooking temperatures but also lowers energy usage and cost. Really top-end fan ovens allow you to cook several strong smelling foods at once, as the constant rotation of the air inside the oven breaks up the odours and stops them interfering with each other.<\/p>\n

Multifunction Ovens<\/h4>\n

A multifunction oven provides a \u2018best of both worlds\u2019 type scenario. They use several different ways of getting to heat to your food, offering a genuine flexibility of cooking. Most multifunction ovens offer both a conventional option, as well as a fan system. They also tend to have a grill option and fan\/grill roasting, which supplies a similar cooking method to that of a barbecue or spit roast. Some also offer more specific heating methods, such as bottom or top heat only \u2013 for crisping a pizza base or browning something, respectively.<\/p>\n

Gas Ovens<\/h4>\n

\"GasGas ovens are typically heated by a gas driven flame at the rear bottom of the oven with the gas being ignited by an electric spark. The hot air does circulate round the oven as it rises, but the top of the oven will naturally always be the hottest part of it.<\/p>\n

Some oven manufacturers have tried to avoid this by shaping their ovens to encourage the circulation of the hot air, in order to make the temperature even on all of the shelves. Gas ovens give off more moisture than electrical ones, so they are good for baking, for example.<\/p>\n

Style & Substance<\/h3>\n

Having narrowed down the type of fuel supply you have available to you and the type of oven you think you\u2019d like, you next need to consider the style and size of cooker you\u2019d like in your home. Do you want to go for a slot-in cooker, a range, which won\u2019t need housing or will you go for separate appliances?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d rather have separate appliances, then you\u2019ll need to figure out whether you want a single or double oven and hobs and you must choose whether they\u2019ll be built-in or built-under.<\/p>\n

Size wise, if it\u2019s a slot-in cooker you want then you\u2019ll be looking at somewhere between 50 and 60 cm in width. Single ovens tend to fit into an H60 x W60 x D60 cm housing, which can be put under a unit or work surface.<\/p>\n

Double ovens, on the other hand, need a space more along the lines of H90 x W60 x D60 cm, and they are mostly designed to be fitted into a column kitchen unit at a nice height. Obviously it\u2019s vital that you measure your kitchen properly before you order your new oven.<\/p>\n

Slot-In or Range Cookers?<\/h3>\n

Slot-In Ovens<\/h4>\n

These are a good option if you have enough space available and don\u2019t want a built-in unit. You can ensure that the hob part of the oven will be at the correct height by adjusting the manoeuvrable feet that come as standard. They also normally have wheels at the back should you wish to move them for cleaning or to ensure that the oven door sits flush to the rest of your kitchen base units. Most gas units also offer a glass lid that act as a splash back unit when you\u2019re cooking or an additional work surface when you\u2019re not.<\/p>\n

Range Cookers<\/h4>\n

\"RangeThese units are designed to offer a similar look to the more traditional cooking ranges that would typically be found in rustic kitchens. They are typically freestanding, but can be added to fitted or semi-fitted kitchens easily enough. They offer numerous features and range in size from 50 \u2013 150 cm in width. Most range cookers also have twin ovens that sit side by side.<\/p>\n

The hobs on range cookers can offer gas and electric burners, as well as specialist burners or even hot plates. Some examples of the type of specialist burners you can find are an extra-fast wok burner or a cast iron griddle that can be used for searing fish and meat. If you want maximum flexibility to your cooking then choose a range cooker with both a fan oven and a conventional oven as part of the unit.<\/p>\n

Varying Features<\/h3>\n

Each type of cooker or oven on offer will have certain features available to you. Depending on how much cooking you do and what type of cooking you consider to be your forte, the following features might be deal-breakers:<\/p>\n
