If you love cooking, bake at the weekend and host Christmas most years, a full-sized range cooker can transform your kitchen. The Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP110ECCY/C 110cm Electric Range Cooker with Ceramic Hob in Cranberry is designed precisely for that kind of busy home, offering width, capacity and style in one statement appliance. In this guide, we will look at what living with a 110cm electric range is really like, how the Professional Plus fits into that picture, and which similar models are worth considering if you are still deciding.
Why choose a 110cm electric range cooker?
Moving from a standard 60cm cooker to a 110cm range is a big step, both in cost and kitchen space. In return, you get a lot more flexibility. A 110cm model usually offers multiple ovens, a separate grill and a generously sized hob, letting you cook several dishes at once without juggling shelves.
An all-electric range, like the Professional Plus PROP110ECCY/C, is particularly appealing if you prefer the even heat of electric ovens and do not have – or do not want – a gas supply in the kitchen. Ceramic hobs are easy to wipe down, look sleek and suit almost any flat-bottomed cookware, so there is no need to replace your favourite pans.

Getting to know the Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP110ECCY/C
The Professional Plus PROP110ECCY/C sits in the premium end of the electric range market and has built up a strong reputation with buyers, reflected in its high user rating and substantial review count. Finished in a bold cranberry with chrome detailing, it is designed to be a centrepiece rather than blend into the background. If you are planning a new kitchen or a major refresh, this model works particularly well in shaker-style or modern classic designs where a statement colour can really shine.
This range offers generous oven capacity, a dedicated grill and a wide ceramic hob that gives you room for multiple pans side by side. The A/A energy rating for the ovens helps keep running costs sensible for an appliance of this size, especially if you make full use of the multiple cavities for batch cooking and entertaining.

Is a ceramic hob right for your cooking style?
The PROP110ECCY/C uses a ceramic hob, which has a smooth glass surface with radiant heating zones underneath. This has a few practical advantages in everyday use:
- Easy to clean: Spills sit on a flat, wipeable surface rather than around gas burners and pan supports.
- Broad pan compatibility: Most flat-bottomed pans work, so you are unlikely to need to replace your cookware.
- Smart appearance: The glass top looks modern and uncluttered, especially when paired with a bold coloured body.
The trade-off is that ceramic is not as instantly responsive as induction or gas. The zones take a little time to heat up and cool down, so you tend to rely more on turning the heat down early and using the residual warmth. For many home cooks, that is a fair compromise for the simplicity and ease of cleaning.
Comparing electric and dual fuel range options
Not everyone wants an all-electric model, and it is worth weighing up dual fuel alternatives if you prefer gas on the hob. Within the same broad family, there are several models to look at.
The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL100DFFSL/C 100cm Dual Fuel Range Cooker with Gas Hob in Slate offers a slightly narrower, 100cm footprint and pairs gas burners with electric ovens. This suits cooks who like the visual feedback and instant adjustment of a flame, particularly for stir-fries, simmering sauces and searing steaks. The slate finish is more understated than cranberry, making it a good match for contemporary grey or industrial-style kitchens.
If you are drawn to a lighter, more traditional look, the Professional Deluxe PDL100DFFCR/C in Cream delivers the same dual fuel benefits in a softer, warm-toned finish. It is popular in country kitchens with wood cabinets and stone worktops, where a cream range feels right at home.
For those who prefer stainless steel to coloured enamel, the Professional Deluxe PDL100DFFSS/C in Stainless Steel is worth shortlisting. Stainless steel works well if you already have matching appliances and want a cohesive, professional-style look rather than a bold colour statement.
All of these dual fuel options offer similar levels of build quality and oven performance, but with that characteristic gas hob feel many keen cooks still prefer. The key question is whether you value the smooth, easy-clean ceramic top of the PROP110ECCY/C more than the responsiveness of gas burners.
Considering a smaller electric range: 90cm option
Not every kitchen can comfortably take a 110cm cooker. If you love the idea of a cranberry electric range but need to save a little width, the Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP90EICY/C 90cm Electric Range Cooker with Induction Hob is a very strong alternative.
This 90cm model still offers multi-oven flexibility but in a slightly more compact form. It swaps the ceramic hob for induction, giving you faster heat-up times and very precise control, plus impressively low residual heat on the glass surface once the pan is removed. If you are keen on the energy efficiency and responsiveness of induction and your pans are compatible, this could be the sweet spot between performance and space-saving.
Practically, a 90cm range can be easier to design around, leaving more room for base units or wider drawers either side. If you are renovating a galley kitchen, an induction-equipped 90cm electric range like the PROP90EICY/C may slot in more neatly than a 110cm giant.
Planning your kitchen around a 110cm range cooker
A large range cooker is not just another appliance; it can define your whole kitchen layout. Before committing to a 110cm model, work through a few planning steps:
- Measure carefully: Leave enough clearance on both sides for heat and easy cleaning, and check that doors, drawers and walkways will still function comfortably.
- Think about extraction: A bigger cooker can produce more steam and odours, so plan for a suitable cooker hood or extractor that is at least as wide as the range.
- Worktop space: Make sure you keep decent stretches of worktop near the cooker for prep and landing hot dishes.
- Power supply: A 110cm electric range will normally need a dedicated high-amperage electrical connection; factor this into installation costs.
Getting these fundamentals right will make living with the Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP110ECCY/C – or any comparable range – far more enjoyable day to day.
Daily life with a large electric range cooker
Once installed, a big range can subtly change how you cook. Multiple oven cavities encourage more efficient batch cooking; you can roast vegetables in one, bake a lasagne in another and keep plates warm separately. For families, that flexibility makes weeknight dinners and weekend entertaining easier to manage.
The ceramic hob on the PROP110ECCY/C offers enough space to keep several pans going at once. That is particularly handy at busy times like Christmas, when you might be boiling vegetables, making gravy, and reheating sauces together. Knowing you have the space and power to handle it all can remove a lot of stress from big occasions.
Because this is a fully electric model with an A/A rating, it also lends itself well to slow-roasting and low-and-slow cooking. Long, steady oven sessions are something electric ovens generally excel at, keeping temperature consistent over hours without the fluctuations you can see with some gas ovens.
Energy use and smart cooking habits
Any large range cooker will use a fair amount of power, but you can keep bills under control with sensible habits:
- Use the right oven for the job: If you are cooking for one or two, use a smaller cavity rather than heating the largest oven each time.
- Batch cook: Fill the shelves when you are using a bigger oven, and freeze portions for later rather than running multiple small cooking sessions.
- Preheat wisely: Do not preheat for longer than needed; modern electric ovens tend to reach temperature fairly quickly.
- Keep doors closed: Each time you open the oven, heat escapes and the element has to work harder to recover.
The Professional Plus range is designed to help with efficient cooking, and using these techniques will make the most of that A/A rating over the years you own it.
Cleaning and caring for a ceramic-topped range
Caring for a ceramic hob is mostly about staying on top of spills. Wipe over the glass once it has cooled, and clean up sugary or starchy foods as soon as you safely can, before they harden. Use a dedicated ceramic hob cleaner and a soft cloth, and keep a proper glass scraper to hand for any stubborn marks.
Inside the ovens, regular wiping and the occasional deeper clean will keep things fresh. Try to line trays and roasting tins, and place trays under particularly messy dishes to catch drips. Door seals, handles and control knobs all benefit from a quick wipe during your normal kitchen clean-up routine.
Looking after your cooker in this way keeps it performing well and also protects the finish, which matters if you have chosen something as distinctive as a cranberry Professional Plus.
Choosing between colour and stainless steel finishes
One of the bigger style decisions is whether to go bold with colour or stick to stainless steel. The PROP110ECCY/C’s cranberry finish with chrome trim is designed to stand out and can give a big lift to otherwise neutral cabinets and worktops.
If you prefer a subtler look, stainless steel versions like the Professional Deluxe PDL100DFFSS/C may appeal more, especially in modern, handleless kitchens. Cream and slate finishes offer a middle ground, softening the look without disappearing into the background.
Think about how long you plan to keep the cooker and whether you are likely to change your kitchen style around it. A coloured range can be a wonderful focal point, while stainless steel is a safe choice if you like to refresh your decor more frequently.
Which type of range cooker suits you best?
To narrow your choice, focus on a few key questions:
- Fuel preference: Do you want the simplicity of a full-electric cooker with ceramic or induction, or do you prefer the feel of gas burners with electric ovens?
- Available space: Can your kitchen comfortably take a 110cm model, or would a 90–100cm option fit better?
- Cooking style: Are you an occasional cook, or do you regularly host and batch cook, making full use of multiple ovens?
- Design priorities: Do you want a colourful statement piece or a more understated stainless or neutral finish?
If you like the idea of a large, all-electric range with a ceramic hob and striking colour, the Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP110ECCY/C is a strong candidate. For those preferring induction in a slightly smaller footprint, the PROP90EICY/C is worth serious consideration, while the Professional Deluxe dual fuel line-up provides gas hobs and different finishes at around the 100cm mark.
Final thoughts
Investing in a range cooker is about more than raw specifications; it is about how you want your kitchen to feel and function for years to come. A model like the Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP110ECCY/C offers the capacity, flexibility and presence that keen home cooks often dream of, provided you have the space and the budget.
