So you know that you now need a new cooker, preferably an electric cooker, and you start
your search online. Most of the time you will use google or a similar search engine to find electric cooker suppliers.
The majority of people will now use price comparison website's like Pricerunner or Kelkoo to
find the best deal.
But be careful you get the right price as quoted.
In this section we are going to look at the best type of Electric Cooker's to buy and also
the cheapest and most expensive available. We are an impartial company offering our experience in the trade and we offer unbiased advice to help you the consumer get the
best advice available.
The step by step guide to purchasing an Electric Cooker.
Choosing an Electric Cooker
There are 2 main types of electric cookers, single and double. The single oven cooker has a single fan assisted oven to cook food and usually comes with a standard variable grill. Single ovens are fairly easy to keep clean and are a popular choice when you have limited space in your kitchen.
The double oven cooker has 2 twin fan assisted ovens and as standard a grill at the top and the majority have easy to clean catalytic linings. The power output can vary for both single and double but a double is around 45 amps. Double Ovens provide the extra cooking capacity needed on special occasions, for extra flexibility, foods requiring different cooking
methods can be cooked at the same time.
Manufacturers
The most popular brands are Cannon, Hotpoint and Indesit which are part of the Indesit
group of companies. Zanussi who is part of the Electrolux group is also another popular brand to choose from. The majority of people who purchase from these brands are price conscious and are really looking for something
cheap and cheerful.
Now the best brand to choose would without doubt be Britannia, Smeg or some of the AEG range. For a quality long lasting product you simply cant go wrong. These brand cookers are quite expensive but please bare in mind the saying 'You get what you pay for'. Paying a little more in the long run is really worth it, as you wont need to keep replacing your electric cooker and pay for expensive spares.
Colours Styles & Features
There isn't really much to choose from when it comes to styles and colours. The main colours
that people choose are Black, White and Stainless Steel. Many of the Cannon ranges come in cream but the main ones are the most popular.
Many of the electric cookers come with a ceramic top hob with a standard 4 ring design. The features range from touch screen display to your standard knob control. There are also some high quality electric cookers that include a heat sensor control that can control the temperature of your oven depending on what food you are cooking.
