 Cookers
Welcome to a guide to navigating the many choices available when choosing a new cooker. This site aims to provide information about the various styles, fuel types and sizes on offer. A cooker is amongst the largest outlays for any domestic household. The choices available are varied, with different fuel types and dimensions, which are covered in-depth by the above guides. The most common setup for a cooker is as a stand alone appliance. Placed upon the floor, a separate oven compartment resides at the bottom, with a separate grill/second oven placed above, and finally four cooking hobs placed on the top of the cooker. Extraction fans are also a common feature of any cooker installation. Placed directly above the cooker, and mounted to the ceiling/wall, they help to extract smells and smoke away from the kitchen. The installation of a cooker is not as simple as other kitchen and home appliances. It will generally require the work of an engineer. Most competent retailers will also provide an installation service, which will cost in the region of fifty pounds. This usually includes the removal and disposal of the previous cooker. There is no standard charge, and it is always subject to change. But,
it's generally the case that a stand alone cooker is cheaper to install
than a built-in installation, and that a gas or duel-fuel cooker will
be more expensive to install than an electric cooker.
