Rangemaster Rangema ELAN 110CM DF

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 stainless steel. Pan supports are very, heavy and matt finish. 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. These are both on racks and runners and are easy to pull in and out. Grill pan and roasting tin are interchangeable but after prolonged grilling, pan can warp but regains shape on cooling. Expensive machine without any 'frills'. Looks industrial (this is the intention). In my opinion intended for the cook who does not need timers, clocks or glass doors.
