Rangecookers Select Range Series - We Review the Oven Performance
25/06/13 16:07 Filed in: Product Focus
The Rangecookers Select series of range cookers has always been a firm favourite with our customers due to its great combination of smart looks, great quality and superb value, and to further endorse its credentials we thought we would see how evenly our live display
Our acid test when testing an oven is the traditional Rock Cake, and not just because we love eating them - they are quick and easy to put together and readily show up any inconsistency in oven temperature by a variance in colour. Using the fan setting on the Select 100’s multifunction oven control we pre-heated to 180°C and placed seven blobs of our dough onto each of our three pizza stone bases (perfect for crispy bases), which were positioned at the top, middle and bottom of the oven. Fifteen minutes later our studio was filled with the alluring smell of Rock Cakes, which were removed from the oven and studied. Not much studying was needed, though, as the results were impressively uniform, as you can see - something that even more expensive cookers sometimes struggle to achieve, and cheap cookers all too often fail to, with scorching typically towards the rear and top of the oven.
The results are a reassuring sign that the efforts Rangecookers have put into finding and working with the right manufacturers are well worthwhile, and that customers can be very confident that although they are getting great value, it is not at the expense of performance and quality.
