If you love cooking and have the space for something more impressive than a standard cooker, a full-size electric range can completely change how your kitchen works. The Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP110ECCR/C 110cm Electric Range Cooker with Ceramic Hob in Cream/Chrome is a classic example of a modern range that blends serious capacity with a clean, traditional look.
This guide walks through what it’s like to live with a 110cm electric range with a ceramic hob, how to decide if it’s right for your kitchen, and how it compares with alternatives like different colours and 90cm dual fuel models. If you want every last specification, you can read our full review of the PROP110ECCR/C cream Professional Plus once you’ve got a clear idea of what you need.
Why choose a 110cm electric range cooker?
A 110cm range cooker is a statement piece, but it’s not just about looks. Going up to this width usually means multiple full-size ovens, a dedicated grill and a generous hob area. For keen bakers, family cooks or anyone who hosts regularly, that extra space can make busy mealtimes far less stressful.
The PROP110ECCR/C is an all-electric model with a ceramic hob, aimed at homes that either don’t have mains gas or simply prefer the responsiveness and even heat of electric ovens. Its cream finish and chrome trim give it a softer, classic appearance that works especially well in shaker and country-style kitchens.
Over time, you’ll notice a few key benefits from this kind of cooker:
- Plenty of oven space so mains, sides and desserts don’t have to compete for shelf room.
- Separate cavities so you can cook at different temperatures at the same time.
- A wide hob with room for multiple pans without awkward juggling.
- A design that becomes the focal point of the kitchen, rather than an afterthought.
The high user rating and substantial number of reviews attached to the PROP110ECCR/C suggest it’s a popular choice for exactly these reasons. You can dive into the details in our hands-on impressions by heading to the dedicated review of the cream Professional Plus 110 ceramic model.
Measuring up: will a 110cm range actually fit?
Before you fall in love with the idea of a 110cm range cooker, it’s worth checking that your space and electrics are ready for it. The physical width is the obvious starting point, but there are a few other practicalities to consider.
Check width, depth and door swings
Most 110cm ranges, including the PROP110ECCR/C, are designed to fit standard-depth worktops but can look imposing if cabinets either side are narrow. Make sure you:
- Measure the full width available between units or walls, leaving a small tolerance on each side.
- Confirm the depth doesn’t push the cooker too far beyond your worktops.
- Allow space in front for oven doors to open fully without hitting an island or opposite units.
If your kitchen is more compact or doesn’t quite have room for 110cm, a 90cm range can be a smart middle ground. Models like the Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL90DFFWH/C 90cm dual fuel range cooker in white give you a lot of the “range” experience in a more manageable footprint.
Electrical requirements
Full-size electric ranges typically require a dedicated high-amperage circuit and hard-wired connection, rather than a standard 13A plug. Always:
- Check the cooker’s electrical load in the specifications.
- Confirm your consumer unit and wiring can support it.
- Budget for a qualified electrician to install or upgrade the circuit if necessary.
Skipping this step can cause delays on installation day, so it’s best to get it sorted before ordering.
Ceramic hob vs gas: how does it change everyday cooking?
The PROP110ECCR/C uses a ceramic hob, which is a popular choice for anyone who prefers a sleek, easy-to-clean surface. Instead of bulky pan supports and individual burners, you get a smooth glass surface with clearly marked zones.
Everyday benefits of a ceramic hob
In day-to-day use, a ceramic hob offers a few very practical advantages:
- Quick wipe-downs: Spills can be dealt with using a damp cloth and a suitable hob cleaner once the surface has cooled.
- Flat, stable base: Saucepans, griddles and roasting tins sit flat, without wobbling on pan supports.
- Streamlined look: The hob blends into the worktop area, especially in lighter kitchens, and helps maintain a less cluttered feel.
For many households, that combination of appearance and practicality is the main draw of the PROP110ECCR/C and its siblings. If you prefer a different colour but like the idea of ceramic, the Professional Plus PROP110ECCY/C 110cm in Cranberry/Chrome and the Professional Plus PROP110ECGB/C 110cm in Black/Chrome are worth a close look. They share the same broad configuration but change the feel of the room dramatically.
When gas might still be better
If you stir-fry a lot or love cooking on open flame, a gas hob can be more appealing. Dual fuel ranges pair gas burners with electric ovens, giving you what many consider the best of both worlds.
For example, the Professional Deluxe PDL90DFFWH/C and the more traditional-styled Classic Deluxe CDL90DFFOG/C in Olive Green both use gas hobs with electric ovens. They’re slightly narrower at 90cm but may be a better fit if flame cooking is high on your wishlist.
Choosing the right style and colour for your kitchen
A range cooker is as much a design decision as a functional one. Because it takes up so much visual space, the finish you choose will strongly influence how the whole kitchen feels.
Cream vs cranberry vs black
The PROP110ECCR/C in cream and chrome has a softer, warmer appearance that pairs well with natural woods, pale units and classic tiling. It works especially nicely in country, farmhouse or shaker kitchens where you’re aiming for a cosy, timeless look rather than something ultra-modern.
If you like bolder accent colours, the Cranberry/Chrome PROP110ECCY/C stands out immediately. It can be used as a centrepiece against neutral cabinets, or tied in with matching handles, splashbacks and textiles.
For a more contemporary feel, the Black/Chrome PROP110ECGB/C creates a sharper, more minimal look. It tends to disappear a little more into darker cabinetry, which is ideal if you want the range to look integrated rather than deliberately highlighted.
Traditional vs modern detailing
The Professional Plus range sits somewhere between traditional and modern, with clean lines but unmistakably “range” proportions. If you prefer a more ornate, heritage feel with bevelled doors and classic handles, something like the Classic Deluxe CDL90DFFOG/C in Olive Green is more in keeping with that aesthetic.
Think carefully about which style will still look good to you in ten years’ time. A neutral cream or black is often a safe choice if you like to refresh your kitchen accessories or wall colours more often than your appliances.
How many ovens do you really need?
One reason people upgrade from a standard cooker is a lack of oven space. Range cookers such as the PROP110ECCR/C are designed to solve that problem, but it’s still worth deciding how you’ll actually use those cavities.
Planning your cooking zones
A 110cm range usually gives you at least two main ovens plus a dedicated grill. Many owners use them like this:
- Main fan or multifunction oven: Everyday dinners, batch cooking and baking.
- Second oven: Roasts, slower cooking, or dishes that need a different temperature.
- Separate grill: Toast, cheese on toast, finishing off gratins or crisping up skins.
If that sounds like overkill for your typical weeknight cooking, a 90cm model can strike a better balance between space and simplicity. But if you regularly cook for extended family, enjoy baking on multiple shelves or like to entertain, the extra oven capacity of a 110cm model such as the PROP110ECCR/C starts to feel essential rather than extravagant.
Day-to-day life with an electric range cooker
Beyond the specifications, it’s helpful to picture what daily life with a large electric range looks like. The PROP110ECCR/C and its close relatives have been designed to be workhorses rather than showpieces that sit unused.
Heat-up times and temperature control
Modern electric ovens heat up more quickly than older models, but they still respond slightly more slowly than gas. The upside is very even heat, which is excellent for baking trays of biscuits, sponge layers or delicate desserts.
With a ceramic hob, preheating a ring for a minute or two before adding your pan gives more consistent results, and it’s worth learning each zone’s sweet spot for simmering and searing. Once you’re familiar with it, you’ll likely find your cooking becomes more repeatable and predictable.
Cleaning and maintenance
A smooth ceramic surface like the one on the PROP110ECCR/C is one of the easiest hob types to clean, as long as you stay on top of spills. Wiping up sugary or starchy splashes sooner rather than later avoids burnt-on residue, and a simple scraper can rescue more stubborn spots.
Inside the ovens, regular light cleaning is vastly preferable to waiting for a major deep clean. Line trays with foil or reusable liners, and consider placing a tray on a lower shelf to catch drips from roasting meats. Check the user manual for any special interior coatings and suitable cleaners so you don’t damage them by mistake.
Energy use and running costs
With energy prices in mind, it’s sensible to think about how a large electric range will affect your bills. Bigger doesn’t necessarily mean wasteful, but it does mean you need to use it intelligently.
Using the right cavity for the job
If you’re just reheating leftovers or cooking for one, there’s no need to fire up the largest oven. Use the smaller cavity where possible for quick midweek meals, and save the full oven for batch cooking or big roasts.
Try to cook multiple dishes at once when you can. For example, while a roast is resting, you can slide in a tray of vegetables or a dessert to make the most of the heat that’s already there.
Simple energy-saving habits
Small changes in habits add up over time:
- Preheat only as long as necessary and avoid opening doors repeatedly to “see how it’s doing”.
- Turn off hob zones a minute or two before you finish cooking and use the residual heat to complete the dish.
- Make use of timers so food doesn’t overcook and waste energy.
Modern ranges are generally more efficient than older cookers thanks to better insulation and controls, but how you use them is just as important.
Comparing 110cm electric and 90cm dual fuel options
Many buyers find themselves torn between the bigger 110cm electric format and a slightly smaller 90cm dual fuel range. Looking at real models helps clarify the trade-offs.
The PROP110ECCR/C, PROP110ECCY/C and PROP110ECGB/C are all 110cm electric ranges with ceramic hobs. They prioritise oven capacity and a very clean hob layout. On the other hand, the Professional Deluxe PDL90DFFWH/C offers robust gas burners above electric ovens in a 90cm body, which may be easier to slot into an existing kitchen.
If you want a more traditional design with gas on top and like heritage colours, the Classic Deluxe CDL90DFFOG/C is another example of a 90cm dual fuel range that balances generous capacity with a slightly smaller footprint. Comparing these options against your available space, fuel preferences and kitchen style should make the right choice much clearer.
Who is the PROP110ECCR/C best suited to?
Pulling it all together, a 110cm electric range cooker with a ceramic hob in a neutral cream finish is likely to suit:
- Busy households that cook most days and often prepare more than one dish at once.
- Anyone who hosts Sunday roasts, Christmas dinners or regular dinner parties.
- Homes without mains gas, or those that simply prefer electric ovens and a flat hob surface.
- People planning a classic or country-leaning kitchen who want the cooker to be a central feature.
