Built-in ovens

In a nutshell: A built-in cooker that seamlessly blends into your kitchen for a modern and stylish look.

Built-in ovens, as the name suggests, are installed into kitchen units or fixed to cupboard doors. A built-in oven is usually 60cm wide, which is the same as standard kitchen units.

Is there anything else I need to know?

They're difficult to move once in place, so if you have a problem with your oven, it might be harder to get to than with a freestanding one that you can pull out.

And as you're slotting these ovens into place, you'll need to have them installed by a professional – whether they're gas or electric.

Looking to spruce up your kitchen but not sure whether to go for a freestanding or built-in oven? Here’s a guide to finding the best one.

Freestanding ovens

In a nutshell: An all-in-one cooker that stands on its own 4 legs. It’s got a hob on top, oven space below and sometimes a separate grill.

The main advantage of a freestanding oven is its flexibility – it can go almost anywhere in your kitchen and comes in a variety of sizes to fit the space. You can even take it with you if you move.



What do you get with a freestanding oven?

choose from gas or electric – whichever you prefer to cook with
fits neatly in your kitchen – a choice of size from 50cm to 120cm wide, slim line to large range cookers
more ways to cook with a single or double oven – the second oven usually doubles as a grill
stress-free cleaning with enamel easy clean, pyrolytic self-clean or catalytic liners.

Range cookers

If you’re a serious chef or often cook for lots of people, a freestanding range cooker will be your best bet.

What are my options?

several hob plates so you can have lots of pans on the go at once
up to 4 oven compartments to cook dishes at different temperatures
huge oven space – up to 50% more than smaller freestanding ovens
easy-clean oven interior and hobs so you spend less time scrubbing.

Is there anything else I need to know?

Although you can choose where to put your freestanding cooker, it will need to be close to a power source – whether that's a plug or gas outlet. Usually this is about 1.5 metres.

Freestanding vs built-in oven/ cooker hub – which is right for you?

When ducting is not an option for you, all wall mounted cooker hoods can be recirculated using charcoal filters to collect the grease, odours and vapours from your kitchen.

Ducting your cooker hood is always recommended for minimising annual costs of running and best efficiency, however we understand that this is not always possible for some people.

When recirculating your extractor you must replace the charcoal filters often in order to maintain a clean motor as well as prolonging its life span.

It's easy to replace and it's cheap as well.

7 Reasons to Use a Dishwasher
Dishes in dishwasher
There has been an on-going debate over whether it is better to wash dishes by hand or with a machine. While there are many who believe that hand washing is better for the environment and for health, research and experience has shown evidence that dishwashers are actually more beneficial in preventing health issues, protecting the environment and saving you time. The following reasons may have you rethinking your current dish washing habits.

1. Better Cleaners
You have likely heard that there are more germs in your kitchen than any other spot in your house, including your bathroom. Therefore, it is important to fully eliminate germs that have accumulated on kitchen items after each use. Ultimately, you cannot accomplish this in the sink with dish soap and water.
To truly kill the germs off of your dishware, you need to rinse them with extremely hot water that reaches a minimum of 145 degrees F. If you attempted this using your hands and a sponge, you would likely be left with harsh burns all over your fingers. Instead, machines can easily reach these temperatures leaving your dishes sanitized and keeping you burn free.

2. Germ Prevention
There are several spots in your kitchen that collect and harbor germs. Your sink and garbage disposal is one of these dirty spots. Therefore, if you complete your dishes by collecting water and soap in the sink and then dipping and rinsing, you are merely giving them a germ bath. They will not only accumulate germs from those washed before them, but also the bacteria that have already settled in the sink. Think about everything you threw into the sink while cooking: pieces of meat, old veggies and other miscellaneous items. The germs from all of these foods are going straight back onto the dishes that you think that you’re cleaning.
In addition, sponges are ideal breeding grounds for bacteria and quickly become contaminated after even the first use. They can harbor up to 10 million bacteria. Therefore, as you use your sponge to wipe, you are merely spreading around all of this bacteria. By running your dishes through the dishwasher, they likely never collect certain germs, and the bacteria that were collected are killed by the hot water.

3. Environmentally-Friendly
Many people who hand wash do so because they believe it is more beneficial for the environment. However, there is evidence that this is simply not true. While old appliances were hogs of electricity and water, the new versions have become substantially more efficient. There have been great strides in recent decades. For example, between 1993 and 2003 machines improved in energy efficiency by 27% and in water efficiency by 30%. Unless you are one of the most efficient hand-dishwashers, you simply cannot compete with these numbers. As water runs from the faucet during your scrub, soap, sponge and rinse routine, you are wasting a valuable resource.

4. Economically-Friendly
Because machines are more energy and water efficient, you will likely save a large amount on your water and electricity bills. Extensive amounts of water are wasted as you hand wash your dishes and to become as efficient as your machine you would need to wash 8 place settings in less than 2 minutes. That seems far from possible. Therefore, you will save water with a new appliance, and your bill will be reduced.
In addition, energy efficient devices use substantially less electricity than older models and make very little impact on your monthly electrical bill.

5. Time Efficient
Dishwasher pin
You are likely quite limited on your time throughout the day. Maybe you have had a long day at work, or perhaps you have had a lot of errands to run. You finally had a chance to make a healthy dinner for the family. The last thing you want to do once the plates have been cleared is roll up your sleeves and dive into a sink of dirty pots and pans. Completing the task by hand could take an additional half hour to hour to complete after dinner has been finished, and unless you and your family have been cleaning throughout the day, you may be left with crusty and difficult breakfast and lunch items.
Modern appliances can save you even more time, as experts argue that pre-rinsing is entirely unnecessary. You could be using this wasted time for much more valuable things, like spending time with your spouse and kids.
6. Stress Reducers
If you are like many other people, dishes are a primary source of procrastination, and you are prone to letting them pile up. Not only does this make them harder to clean, but it can also lead to a serious source of stress. There is a substantial link between the amount of clutter in your home and your stress levels. As mess piles up, it makes it difficult to mentally and physical relax because you have a feeling that your work is not done. This can lead to serious feelings of guilt and even embarrassment.
Piles in the sink can be a major contributor to the stress-creating mess in your home. A dishwasher makes it easier to relieve this stress by keeping things spotless and out of the sink. Even if you have a few dirty items, they can be easily stowed away in your unit until time for the next cleaning cycle rather than mounting into a menacing pile.
7. Guest-Friendly
Like many people, you may enjoy hosting dinner parties and other events. As mentioned above, a machine can help you maintain a clean and clutter free kitchen and home. You definitely do not want your guests to walk into a home that looks like a tornado has gone through it.
In addition, if you like to throw larger dinner parties for a number of guests, dishes can be a daunting task, and this can cause you to be reluctant to host the event at all. However, a machine can take off most of this burden because you can quickly load everything into the dishwasher and clean them with the simple press of a button.
Because most polite guests like to help out, they can place plates, bowls and silverware in the wash on their own. You can enjoy cooking for, hosting and impressing your guests without the dread of accumulating extra mess.
Ultimately, there are an overwhelming number of reasons that using a dishwasher is more beneficial than hand washing. Make your life easier and put your energy efficient machine to work.
