Top of the Range

Advantages: Two ovens, controllable heat, brilliant gadgets
Disadvantages: hardly any but grill not being eye level can be a pain occasionally

When I bought this I was bowled over by it. Certainly compared to a normal 4 ring cooker and oven it is fantastic. It has 4 normal gas burners and a fifth double burner with wok attachment which is pretty hot. Great for stir fries, less good for gentle simmering e.g. of soup pans because even the lowest setting will cause a soup to burn and stick to the bottom of the pan as it is too hot. A shame as it is the largest of the rings, and size-wise ...
...leaving the other 4 rings free for other things. This is a minor issue though. There is a good variety in the kws of the 5 different rings so you can always find the right one once you know the cooker. It also has a slightly useful electric hotplate which I do use e.g. for keeping something warm whilst you dish up other things, and a place for a coffee percolator, which I've never used so can't comment. The two ovens give great space for most everyday ...

Review of Rangemaster Classic 110

Dual fuel Rangemaster cooker - for great cooks

Advantages: Looks good, cooks well economical in gas use
Disadvantages: none that we haqve found

...we finally decided that the Rangemaster dual fuel 110 would fit in the hole and so - all systems go. We also have no mains gas in our village so we needed to have gas pipes ready for calor gas tanks laid under our driveway which fortunately was being newly laid at this time as the kitchen was only a small part of our major house renovation. After living off microwaved food and TakeAways for a month we were so excited about finally going to move ...
...What it looks like: The Rangemaster has a gas hob and electric ovens. We have four gas burners on the left ranging in size and heat output. There is also a big wok burner in the middle which is quite ferocious when you light it - almost took my eyebrows and fringe off the first time. It also comes with a wok stand to hold the wok above the flame which I just keep on the cooker all the time. On the right of the wok burner we have an electric plate ...

Review of Rangemaster Toledo 110 DF 64510

Mercury Range Cooker Pro's and Con's

Advantages: Attentive company to deal with.
Disadvantages: Some durability questions

Impressive looking very heavy cooker. We had to reinforce our kitchen floor. Extra large main oven with a good choice of heating methods and a defrost setting. Smaller oven has top and bottom elements only. 5 burner hob with automatic ignition and powerful gas output. Grill compartment separate from the ovens. Burner caps are aluminium and have a coating which is not enamel but is 'chemical blacking'. I found this not to be durable. Hob finish is ...
...This finish is porous and fat spills soak in to it. Only method of cleaning satifactorally is in dishwasher and even then all fat spills are not always removed. The supports have a very rough finish (which destroys scouring pads etc). They are large and would not fit into my sink to soak them. Pan supports (several sets replaced) all exhibited signs of rust but apparently no one else complained of this problem. Good idea for grill and storage drawer. ...

Review of Rangemaster Rangema ELAN 110CM DF

A curates egg

Advantages: Looks good works well
Disadvantages: really bad controls

...is delivered and installed by Rangemaster who are both very good with their communications for arranging a date and time and very good with delivery. As my building work was incomplete they did not install it but installation is reasonably simple. It is very much a cooker which does what it claims to do. The hob arrangement is slightly counter productive with both the simmer and highest rated rings both at the front. The non stick griddle sits on ...
...my incompetence and poor design). Rangemaster arranged for a service engineer to correct it within two days. The service engineer came from a sub contractor that services a complete range of manufacturers so it was reassuring when he said that it was his favourite cooker - easy to repair - hardly anything went wrong with them compared to others - and that it was really well built. It is easy to clean but the silver rings around the hob burners do ...
