The Magic Of Induction Range Cookers
In the world of modern range cooking, induction range cookers have taken the culinary scene by storm.
Induction cooking has gained popularity among home chefs due to its fast and precise temperature control, plus various functions and safety features.
With their sleek design and energy efficiency, these innovative cookers have quickly become a home favourite. In this blog post we’ll explore some of the top induction range cookers we have to offer and show you just what these cookers can do...
Bertazzoni Professional 90 Single Induction Air-Tec in Carbonio
The Bertazzoni Professional series brings you a collection of well-considered appliances with outstanding design and stunning, authentic finishes.
This innovative 90cm single oven, induction range cooker is the first model in its market. It perfectly integrates the highest performance of the 90cm Professional Series cookers with an induction hob and a premium integrated hood.
The main electric oven has 11 functions, ranging from convection and grilling to fast pre-heat. On top, you have the latest induction technology giving you ultimate power and controllability, with four zones that include booster feature, pot detection and residual heat indication for each zone. The handy bridging function also allows you to use the two cooking zones on either side of the hob as one single cooking zone.
The integrated 10-speed hood, controlled through a dedicated control knob, can be installed in suction or filtering mode. The integrated ventilation system is 100% safe against water.
DeLonghi Modern DTR 916-IND2 Twin
A great range cooker for those on a budget, this DeLonghi Modern electric model brings a sensible price tag on an excellent range cooker with the latest induction technology. This is achieved by giving you four induction zones, all with immediate control of the power and heat delivered to your pans. The ceramic surface on top stays relatively cool, meaning any spillages can be wiped off immediately, and there are pan detection and boil dry detection features to make things that little bit easier when cooking.
The oven specification is just as pleasing – a generous 70 litre programmable main oven has eight different fanned and conventional cooking functions, plus a grill. The smaller second oven offers 45 litres of capacity and is conventional, making it perfect for smaller meals and includes a useful second grill.
Smeg Portofino 90 Single Pyro Induction
Smeg have been a front runner when it comes to range cookers since the 1980’s, when they led the way with their stainless steel models and funky Fab fridges.
This bright and bold range cooker brings not only stunning good looks but also superb quality and specification. The 115 litre oven has 12 cooking functions, including an Eco mode, a keep warm and low power mode, plus the very slick LCD display offering 20 automatic programmes.
A shiny sheet of black vitreo-ceramic glass on top is not only easy to keep clean but also very fun to use. Five powerful and ultra-responsive induction zones give incredible cooking power and controllability. All of the usual induction benefits are available, plus a very handy child safety lock.
Inside the oven is one more extremely popular feature: the pyrolytic cleaning. Just turn a knob and your range will lock the door and run a 500°C cycle, which will burn off all of the grease and grime and bring the interior up like new.
Built in the UK by AGA Rangemaster, Mercury range cookers represent a high-level of performance on the famous manufacturer’s product spectrum. Enhanced construction, heavy duty oven furniture and not to mention those special Mercury hi-fi control dials.
This beautifully sleek cooker offers a large 78 litre multifunction oven, a tall 66 litre fanned oven and a third grill cavity. On top is a powerful five zone induction hotplate, which not only looks great but includes a pan detection system and residual heat indicators. Colour has always been a strong part of Mercury’s appeal, and the carefully chosen pigments used in their resilient vitreous enamel contribute much to the overall impression of quality and good taste.
ILVE Majestic Milano 100 Induction
If you have been looking for a range cooker that is going to bring a sense of glamour and elegance to your kitchen, look no further than this ILVE Majestic 100cm cooker. The Majestic lives up to its name by not just looking so, but also with the increased size and pure power it holds.
The main oven is multifunction, with a very handy Quick Start mode getting the oven to temperature very quickly. The second oven is also a multifunction cavity, but without a fan element. Instead it features a rotisserie, for succulent cooking of any meats. Technology is key throughout this premium range, with a TFT touch-screen display/control panel acting as the oven temperature and function indicator for ILVE’s excellent E3 technology.
On top is a superb 6 zone induction hob, with all the advanced and efficient technology you would expect. Power boost, automatic boil and a heat up function add to the convenience, plus bridge zone technology connecting medium induction zones to create one large cooking area.
For 70 years, Rayburn by AGA has been the warm, beating heart of many British homes. The Rayburn Ranger is a totally flexible and controllable cast-iron range cooker. This electric range cooker benefits from three large ovens, all operated independently to help you control the energy that you use. On top is a large cast-iron hotplate and a two zone induction hob, giving you optimum flexibility.
The large ovens consist of two large capacity radiant ovens, plus a warming oven. Radiant heat is a gentle form of heat transfer, creating dedicated heat zones at pre-set temperature whilst also having the ability to cook food quickly. What you end up with is food full of flavour, with it helping to retain its texture, moisture and goodness. The Rayburn Ranger is the only model we offer at Rangecookers.co.uk that offers radiant cooking.
Its beautiful styling brings eight charming colours to choose from, adding a retro feel to your home with the bright, bold shades or alternatively something a little more subtle.
Stoves Richmond D1100Ei Deluxe Zoneless Induction
The already feature-rich Stoves Richmond has been taken to a whole new level. Giving off both elegance and desirability, this 110cm model is the perfect choice for any classically styled kitchen.
Pushing this model ahead is the introduction of a range cooking first – a fully zoneless induction hob. The typical induction zones have been removed to offer a full surface cooking area, accommodating up to six pans of any shape or size and intelligently remembering the heat settings of any pan should it need to be moved to another position. This huge leap in induction functionality and technology will no doubt appeal to those of you who are looking for an efficient and cutting edge all-electric range cooker.
There is of course, even more below the hob. A 13 setting multifunction main oven, with TrueTemp digital thermostat and rapid pre-heat, is joined by a fanned secondary oven offering Stoves’ Equiflow system to ensure controllable, consistent temperature. Above this fanned oven is a third conventional oven with Maxi-Grill.
This very special Falcon model has been designed to give you all of the quality and performance you would expect but at a more affordable price. Its simpler layout and lack of stay clean liners are the only differences you will see between this and the considerably more expensive 1092 Deluxe, plus the Continental’s added benefit of windowed doors.
This induction model has all the power you could need in the form of five cooking zones, with amazing response and useful features such as power-boost, boil-dry detection, auto heat-up and simmer and zone-link functions. The oven doors open outward to reveal two very spacious cavities – one multifunction with grill, a variety of functions including conventional, fan-assisted and a browning element, plus one fanned oven.
Falcon is a premium brand for those who appreciate simplicity and understand that flair doesn’t need to come with all of the frills.
AGA Masterchef Deluxe 110 Induction
If you have always thought about owning an AGA but felt it was either a little beyond your reach or completely impractical, the AGA Masterchef is designed for you.
The chunky bevelled doors feature very characteristic AGA towel rail handles, and this welcome simplicity is echoed with the cylindrical control knobs above. Top left is a dedicated grill with dual circuit element and a heavy grade tray which glides out on telescopic shelves. To the right of this is the welcome bonus of a slow cook oven, which is perfect for stews and curries as well as plate warming.
Bottom right is a large, fanned oven and the same size cavity is used for the main oven on the left, a very versatile multifunction oven with fanned, conventional and grilling capabilities. In this main oven is a meat probe to allow you to cook meat and poultry by target temperature rather than time.
Next generation induction zones on top give you rapid power, when you need it, all the way down to a gentle trickle – bringing comfort, convenience and energy efficiency. Also supplied is a cast iron griddle plate to take advantage of the handy bridging feature, where two zones can work in unison to give you evenly distributed induction power.
This twin cavity Roma 120 induction model combines powerful multifunction ovens with a sleek and sophisticated seven zone induction hob, putting high power, speed and instant control at your fingertips.
ILVE’s E3 precision temperature control system combines a directional rotary control with the existing digital display to show the desired oven temperature in 5 degree increments – rather than relying on the standard printed digital on the control knob. This cooker offers a wide choice of 15 oven functions, including a quick start rapid heat up and a pizza setting.
The large multifunction oven on the left offers a capacity of 97 litres, whilst the second multifunction oven on the right offers a capacity of 43 litres. The Roma’s clean cut finish makes this an incredible addition to any modern kitchen.
Bertazzoni Professional 120 Induction
Bringing even more from the incredible Professional series, this double oven range cooker brings both versatility and style to your kitchen.
The main electric oven has 11 functions, ranging from convection and grilling to fast-preheat. A digital programmer allows perfect control of cooking, displaying the oven functions selected, managing time during cooking and giving feedback on real-time temperature. The useful second auxiliary oven has six modes.
The hob brings a very impressive stainless steel teppanyaki griddle, perfect for cooking stir fry’s and meats. Next to this is a beautiful induction hotplate, offering five induction zones with two bridging zones available. Finishing this well executed range cooker is a high resolution LCD touch screen display.
…even larger?
Lacanche are the only brand to offer models larger than 120cm with a full induction hob.
The Chemin Classic 140 is a particular favourite. It is an impressive four oven range cooker featuring a 20 litre oven, one 55 litre oven, a 49 litre oven and a vertical 85 litre oven on the right hand side. You have a choice with the Lacanche model’s whether you go for a full five zone induction hob on top, plus extra space for an addition integrated hob element, or a gas hob with the additional element of a two zone induction hob.
Want to go even bigger? Why not take a look at the Vezelay, a fantastic 220cm range cooker that features a 73 litre oven, a 69 litre oven with storage drawers beneath and two vertical 85 litre simmer ovens on either side.
