Rangemaster Classic Deluxe Range Cooker - Freestanding - CDL90EICR/C - Cream / Chrome

The one I purchased is red with chrome door furniture.Lovely quality and everything feels solid and well made, as you'd expect from a £2k stove. The knobs and handles are all chrome and there's a chrome horizontal bar in front of the hob at the same level as the top surface.HobThe hob is a 5 ring induction hob offering a spacious area which allows for a couple of people sharing space if you're using the cooker with somebody else. The controls for these run across the front of the cooker beneath and behind the chrome bar (a towel rail?) and have their settings painted on so you can look vertically down or (more difficult) horizontally. Once you turn a ring on it's setting appears through the black glass surface anyway so problems reading the dials vanish once you hit the correct dial.At the rear of the hob is a detachable upstand. Again sturdy, it can be left off if you want to use a splashback.I'm used to touch control induction hobs which turn themselves off if forgotten. I'm glad to say this does the same thing albeit that the dials need to be reset manually when the cooker's turned on again later.Cleaning the hob is what you'd expect from a black, toughened glass surface, it takes some polishing to get it looking spick and span. The glass is set within a narrow frame and there's a shallow (rubberised?) groove around the glass. It would allow accumulation of dirt/grease if you're not aware of it.There's the usual settings 1-9 + 'P' on the rings. There's also an 'A' which I assume is for Auto. I've lost my manual right now so I've not tested any automatic cooking. On the other hand, I have tried the timer control which works like other stoves, but once set I couldn't work out how to view the time left! Nothing I press shows it lol. Maybe the lost manual would tell me how. The ampage of the hobs seems lower than my two previous induction hobs as running at setting 7 on my previous cooker could handle wok cooking, not so on this one. But it's just something I've gotten used to.GrillSmall compared to my old double 60cm integrated oven's grill. Maybe half the size. It offers 2 heating zones, I'd say that's an unnecessary feature as the grill's so small. It's very, very fast at heating up. Great stuff when grilling sunday breakfast. The designers have created a mildly heath robinson collection of metal rods supporting the grill pan. They slide out so that the grill pan can be extended without having to pick it up.Because of all this metalwork the grill height is not adjustable and my test batch of nan breads got burned when they puffed up.The advantage of the small grill is that it fits easily in the dish washer and even a manual scrub down doesn't take long.The grill isn't lined so I don't know how unpleasant it'll be to clean in future.Main OvenLined on either side to help, the glass door doesn't appear to be removeable so it might be hard to clean.There's various oven options including fan, defrost etc.I've not had chance to check the options as I usually just use the fan oven so there may or may not be a grill etc.Again it feels small compared to my previous oven. When it arrived there was another heath robinson contraption that kept a roasting tin attached to the door. We took that out immediately as it fills the whole oven yet is a tiny chicken sized thing. The oven's lined on the side panels but not the oven bottom, so I've left a baking tray on the floor to protect it. The oven's lit by pressing a manual button amongst the main dial display. There's a gimicky temperature dial on the door of the lesser oven which seems to work whichever oven is turned on.The difference between the "Deluxe" oven and non-deluxe is the speed the oven heats up, and boy does it heat fast.Auxilliary OvenStretches full height but is very narrow. It's not lined at all so I'd recommend only using it for cake making and other non greasy tasks.It's not wide enough to store a stack of plates but there's a plate rack in the bottom for people to place plates upright to get warm.I'll be keeping this oven for clean items eg cakes and pastries.I don't know how fast this oven is to heat quickly.I recommend1) Take out insurance on all induction hobs. It's worth it as the technology is still new. When my first induction hob broke down I was threatened with a £600 for fixing the main pc board. My 2nd and previous one broke too.2) Buy the biggest size you can, 100cm or 110 cm. 90cm is just too much of a squeeze
