100cm Opera Dual Fuel Range Cooker Stainless Steel

A dual fuel range cooker is a freestanding cooker that has a hob powered by one fuel type (e.g. electric) and an oven which is powered by a different fuel type (e.g. gas).
All of Smeg’s dual fuel appliances include an electric oven and a gas hob. This provides the benefits of the instant heat via gas burners, with the uniform cooking capabilities of an electric oven.
Some of our larger dual fuel range cookers also include a teppanyaki and multi-zone induction hob.

Dual fuel range cookers combine the strengths of both electric and gas components, providing you with greater control and flexibility in your cooking. They are generally more expensive, however, than a pure gas or electric cooker.

Duel fuel cookers offer a range of advantages over traditional cookers.

• A more powerful cooker: The gas hobs allow for a faster and quicker cooking option than strictly electric stoves.
• Greater control: With gas stoves, you have much greater control over your cooking compared to electric hobs, and are able to adjust temperatures quickly to avoid burning.
• A more even baking/ oven: Unlike gas ovens, electric ovens are much more precise, providing a consistent and uniform temperature which makes them better suited for cooking and baking.

The main limitation of a dual fuel range cooker, is the need for two fuel sources, gas and electricity. If your kitchen only has one available source, then you will need to pay to have the other fuel source installed, which can increase costs. However this is a one-time cost, so can be factored into the purchasing price of your new dual fuel cooker.

In our opinion, yes, dual fuel range cookers are an excellent investment to add value and flexibility to your kitchen. They offer the best of both worlds, with the precise control of a gas burner, with the even heating and reliability of an electric oven.
If you’re serious about your cooking, a dual fuel range cooker is the top-of-the-line and the best you can get for your kitchen.
