Electric range with side induction hob - new from Everhot

The new Everhot 100i is an electric heat storage range, designed to provide both cooking and room heat. What sets this electric range cooker from other models, e.g Everhot 90 or Everhot 150 is the right hand side induction hob with controls that are neatly hidden behind the top right hand door. You can also get a second lid to cover the induction hob when not in use for £345. This 1000mm wide electric heat storage range simply plugs into a standard plug socket and it requires no flue, extractor or special reinforced base. Designed, engineered and built in Gloucestershire, England, the Everhot 100i is a traditionally styled, environmentally friendly, range cooker.

This classically crafted cooker gives you plenty of cooking flexibility and power with 4 cast iron doors housing 3 ovens - a roasting oven, a casserole oven and a must-have warming oven, The fourth door conceals the digital control system which is used to set individual temperatures for each of the cooking areas. Hot plate with a maximum of 400°C, simmer plate with a maximum of 400°C, top oven with a maximum of 250°C and bottom oven with a maximum of 200°C.

And this electric range also has the ECO control to provide enhanced economy and reduced heat output in hot weather. It provides a type of 'sleep' facility, allowing the range cooker to be dropped to a low temperature that can be predetermined.

A chrome, spring-loaded lid covers the cast iron hot and simmer plates. You can also incorporate a commercial quality induction hob to provide flexible, additional capacity throughout the year. The Everhot 100i is available in black, burgundy, cream, blue or green. Price is £6,470.

Free standing induction range - new ranges from GE Profile

The new GE Profile free standing induction range brings superior induction cooking to the U.S. consumer. The innovative technology cooks via a magnetic field to provide the responsiveness of gas, remarkably fast heating and excellent efficiency. Offered exclusively under the GE Profile brand, the free standing range provides home cooks the higher level of control needed to achieve superior results. The faster, more efficient technology saves precious minutes by bringing water to the boiling point faster than gas or electric cooktops. It also saves time after dinner, because spills will not cook onto the stove. The induction range seamless design allows any liquid or food to be simply wiped away.

With induction cooking, the surface surrounding the burners does not get hot. Instead, a current is produced when an induction compatible pan with a steel or magnetic bottom is placed on the cooktop. The current heats the pan and cooks the food inside. Less energy is wasted with induction cooking compared to gas or electric, because the technology transfers heat directly to the cookware and the food, rather than heating up the surface area of the cooktop. With a 3.7 kW output element, the innovative cooktop assures that meats, vegetables and soups cook quickly and efficiently. Sauces and other delicate foods may be gently warmed on the simmer level.

With all the performance benefits of popular GE Profile free-standing ranges and a variety of new features, the new induction ranges give home chefs the tools they need to prepare food with restaurant-quality results. Designed in a variety of colors, finishes and sizes, the new free-standing ranges will be available in July 2009. GE Appliances.
