Choosing an efficient range cooker can cut running costs, make everyday cooking easier and keep your kitchen more comfortable. At Quince & Cook you will find a full line up of Everhot, AGA, Bertazzoni, Lacanche and more, so this guide focuses on models that balance performance with energy conscious design.
What Makes A Range Cooker Efficient?
Several features influence how efficiently a range cooker uses energy:
- Induction or well insulated electric ovens that deliver heat directly and hold it inside the cavity.
- Accurate digital or programmable controls so the cooker only works as hard as it needs to.
- Good insulation and triple glazed doors to reduce heat loss and shorten heat up times.
- Flexible zones and multiple ovens so you do not need to heat a huge cavity for a small tray.
- Smart tariffs and renewable integration on some electric heat storage ranges.
Before looking at individual models, it helps to browse the full range cooker collection or narrow things down in the induction and electric range cooker collection.
Efficient Electric & Induction Range Cookers
Everhot 60: Compact, Efficient Heat Storage
The Everhot 60 is designed for standard 600 mm spaces and smaller kitchens. It runs from a regular 13 amp supply, needs no flue and provides gentle background warmth along with two generous ovens and cast iron hot and simmer plates.
As a heat storage cooker, the Everhot 60 is built to tick along at steady temperatures instead of cycling on and off. Many customers pair it with a renewable electricity tariff so a good portion of the running cost comes from off peak or green energy.
Everhot 90i: Induction Hob With Heat Storage Ovens
The Everhot 90i keeps the same heat storage approach but adds a two zone induction hob. Induction cooking is highly efficient since it heats the pan directly, and it responds quickly for everyday cooking.
Three ovens and the mix of cast iron plates plus induction let you choose how much heat you introduce into the kitchen on any given day. In cooler months you can lean on the plates and ovens for warmth, while in summer the induction zones take over to keep heat output lower.
Everhot 110i: Larger Family Cooking With Smart Controls
If you like the Everhot concept but need more oven space, the Everhot 110i steps up in size. It offers three full size controllable ovens, cast iron hotplates and a two zone induction hob, all managed through a modern control box.
Newer Everhot control boxes integrate with smart tariffs and can work alongside solar panels. That gives you extra control over when the cooker draws most of its power and can lower running costs over time for households using renewables.
You can explore the full Everhot line up, from the compact 60 up to the impressive 160i, in the Everhot collection at Quince & Cook.
Bertazzoni Heritage Series 90 cm Induction Top
The Bertazzoni Heritage Series 90 cm induction top electric double oven combines a traditional look with modern induction technology. The hob includes five zones with two flex areas for larger pans, while twin electric ovens provide up to eleven cooking functions in the main cavity.
Triple glazed doors and carefully designed seals help keep heat inside the ovens. Pair that with induction zones that only heat suitable pans and you have an efficient option for cooks who like a classic style but modern performance.

Lacanche Induction Range Cookers
Lacanche is known for heavy build quality and very flexible configurations. Many models can be specified with induction hobs and powerful electric ovens, which helps with efficiency in busy kitchens.
An induction specification on a Lacanche gives you fast pan heating and precise control, while the ovens hold heat extremely well thanks to solid construction and insulation. When you match the cavity size to your household needs, you avoid warming space that you do not use regularly.

Efficient Dual Fuel Range Cookers
AGA Masterchef Deluxe 110 Dual Fuel
The AGA Masterchef Deluxe 110 Dual Fuel blends an electric oven set with a five burner gas hob. Dual fuel models like this suit cooks who enjoy instant flame control on the hob while still benefiting from accurate, even electric ovens.
The main oven offers multiple cooking functions plus features such as rapid preheat and fan assisted modes that can reduce overall cooking times. The gas hob uses modern burners designed for good flame control, which can help you use only as much heat as each pan needs.

Lacanche Gas Top With Electric Ovens
Many Lacanche cookers use a similar principle to dual fuel, combining gas burners on top with electric ovens below. With the right burner size and good quality cookware, gas hobs can be very efficient for day to day cooking, especially when you match the flame to the pan base.
The key is configuration. Choosing a layout with a smaller auxiliary oven for mid week meals and a larger oven for roasts helps avoid unnecessary energy use. That flexibility is one of the reasons Lacanche cookers feature so often in discussions of long term, sustainable kitchen plans.

Tips To Get The Best Efficiency From Any Range Cooker
Model choice matters, but daily habits also play a big role in running costs. A few simple steps can make a noticeable difference:
- Use the smallest oven that suits the dish so you do not heat empty space.
- Preheat only as long as the recipe needs, then load the oven promptly.
- Choose the right size burner or induction zone for each pan.
- Keep doors and seals clean so heat stays inside the oven.
- Batch cook when you can and make full use of residual heat.
- Ask about smart tariffs or renewable options if you choose an electric or heat storage model.
