Dual Fuel Range Cookers

Dual Fuel Range Cooker

Looking back, and not all that long ago, if you were considering a range cooker you could choose from either gas or electric.   Fast forward and nowadays we are able to choose from the innovative dual fuel range cooker which allows you, quite simply, to have the best of both worlds.  There are advantages of cooking with gas, and there are the advantages of cooking with electricity, but when you opt for a dual fuel range cooker then you have all the advantages at your fingertips.

There are many benefits in choosing a dual fuel range cooker, not least of which is that if you have an electricity failure then you still have a means of cooking.  With a dual fuel range cooker your hob will normally be operated using gas, whilst your oven is usually fuelled by electricity.   Your oven, being electric, will give you an even heat which means better baking results, whilst your hob burners, being fuelled by gas, will give you perfect control over your cooking, working extremely well when boiling and frying. 

Gas hobs are traditionally used by chefs and professional cooks, as they really do provide excellent control, if you turn up the heat on your gas burner, the heat immediately goes up, turn it down and the heat will drop down immediately – this kind of control is not afforded when using electricity.  Likewise using an electric oven will provide you with a more even heat source, which is perfect – and necessary – when baking cakes, and will ensure an even browning of your foodstuff. 

In a nutshell, if you have decided on a new range cooker, but can’t decide whether to choose an electric range cooker or a gas range cooker – why not “have it all” and opt for a dual fuel range cooker.  You really will not regret it.
