Popular with those in rural areas without access to a mains gas supply, electric cookers all feature an electric hotplate, ceramic or induction hob, as well as an electric oven.
Electric ranges are a great option as they combine the contemporary and traditional in both their styling and functionality. Most electric ovens are now fan-assisted, meaning they heat up faster, cook at lower temperatures, and provide a more evenly distributed heat than conventional ovens.
With an electric range, it is possible to turn the fan off to create zoned temperatures that are hotter at the top - ideal if you tend to cook different dishes at the same time.
For great examples of impressive and practical all-electric range cookers, check out Rangemaster's Elan induction, as well as the smart, modern offerings from Smeg and Britannia.
