Freestanding Cookers

What is a freestanding cooker?

+

A freestanding cooker combines an oven and hob in one appliance. It is designed to fit into an open space between your kitchen units. Unlike a built-in oven, it does not need to be installed inside a cabinet.

What size freestanding cooker do I need?

+

Measure the width, height and depth of the available space before ordering. Many freestanding cookers are either 50cm or 60cm wide. You should also allow any space around the cooker stated in the manufacturer’s installation guide.

What is the difference between solid plate, ceramic and induction hobs?

+

Solid plates are simple, reliable and suitable for most cookware. Ceramic hobs have a smooth surface that is easy to wipe clean. Induction hobs heat compatible pans directly. They are fast, responsive and energy-efficient.

Should I choose a single or double oven cooker?

+

This depends on your household and how often you cook. A single oven may be enough for smaller households or simple meals. Larger families and people who cook often may prefer a double oven. It lets you prepare different dishes at separate temperatures. On some models, the second cavity also contains the grill.

What should I check before buying a freestanding cooker?

+

Check the appliance dimensions, hob type, oven capacity and number of cavities. You may also want to compare the energy rating, cleaning features and available cooking functions. Make sure the cooker is compatible with the power supply in your home.
