Article Abstract:
The Leisure Silhouette cooker with low-level grill is ranked as a best buy in a survey of 13 gas and three dual-fuel cookers ranging in price between 190 and 700 pounds sterling.

Features to take into account when selecting a new cooker include: the position of the grill; safety and stability of the hobs; the choice of gas or electric oven; design of knobs and dials; accuracy of thermostats; heat emitted via doors, door handles, grill pan handles and control knobs; and safety of hob lids.

Electric cookers
Article Abstract:
A number of factors should be taken into consideration when buying a free-standing electric cooker, including safety, the type of hob provided and the position of the grill. Radiant rings and sealed hot plates have similar running costs to those of halogen and ceramic hobs but are harder to clean. Electric cookers with the grill in the main oven prevent the grill from being used at the same time as the oven. Details of 15 free-standing electric cookers and advice on best buys is included.
