- Dual-fuel cookers: dual-fuel range cookers use both gas and electricity. The most popular and normal combination is a gas hob and an electric oven. Gas hobs are quick to heat and easy to control allowing for meat-searing heat or gentle simmering. Modern electric ovens with the best range cookers tend to be fan-assisted to get an evenly heated oven.
- Electric range cookers: most electric range cookers have one or more fan-assisted ovens. Fan assisted ovens spread the heat around the oven evenly. Fan-assisted ovens also heat up more quickly. This means you save energy cost because you can reduce the cooking temperature and cooking times.
- Electric induction range cookers: electric range cookers with an induction hob heat quickly and efficiently because the induction energy is only used to heat the iron-based (stainless steel) pan. It doesn't heat up anything else. This means when you cook with induction, the hobs don’t get hot unless you put something that is iron-based onto the induction hob.
- Gas range cookers: gas range cookers are the cheapest to cook with. Gas cookers are easy to control and give instant heat. The best range cookers of this type can be very low cost to run. Gas range cookers and dual-fuel range cookers need to be installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer - find a qualified engineer in your area on Which? Local.
