Tips For Choosing A New Cooker

The kitchen is often the busiest room in a home, with the cooker being the most used appliance. Putting up with an old stove? Maybe it's time to buy a new one.

Keep the following tips in mind as you shop for your new cooker.

Electric Or Gas Model



The first decision to make is the cooking method that you prefer. Some people cannot imagine using anything other than gas cookers and those who would not consider cooking with anything besides electricity. Both of them work well, and it is generally a matter of cooking preference.

  • Gas is less expensive than electricity.
  • Electric generally gets considered more precise
  • Gas allows you a bit more control.
If you cannot decide because you like both, you might want to think about getting a dual cooker. These cookers allow you to switch back and forth from gas to electric. They are perfect for the person who likes gas for particular dishes and electricity for others.

The Right Size For Your Needs


The size of the cooker depends on the needs of you and your family. A single stove is an excellent choice for small families and small spaces. If you have a larger family, love baking, or do a lot of entertaining, a double cooker is an excellent choice for your home. Dual cookers are convenient for special occasions when you need more cooking space.

Freestanding Or Built-In, Which Is Best For You?


Freestanding cookers slide into place in the kitchen. Built-in stoves have a designated space where they fit. A freestanding option is generally less expensive. They are also cheaper to repair if something goes wrong with any of the components. Built-ins have the benefit of connecting correctly in their place and taking up less floor space.

Energy Costs



Save money and help the planet by choosing an energy-efficient cooker. You will notice that the stoves have a rating with letters from A to G. These letters coordinate with the energy efficiency of the model. Models with an A rating are the most energy-efficient.

Great New Features

Cookers come with a variety of features. Many come with a self-cleaning option. Some have touch screen options, and some of the newest stoves can get linked to your smartphone. Cookers featuring safety options such as automatic shutoffs are also a fantastic idea.

Upgrading your cooker can help you save money on energy costs, making cooking more comfortable and better. All of the latest features work together to make cooking fun and simple.

Take a good look at your old cooker to see if it is time to upgrade. You may even be able to take advantage of the many discounts available on new stoves.
