Rangemaster Classic Deluxe 110 Induction Range Cooker Guide

Table of Contents

If you love the idea of a statement range cooker but also want fast, efficient cooking, a 110cm induction range can be a brilliant middle ground. The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110EIRB/C in Regal Blue mixes traditional styling with modern induction technology, making it a popular option for busy family kitchens and keen home cooks alike. In this guide we’ll look at what to think about before choosing a large induction range, how this Classic Deluxe fits into that picture, and which close alternatives might suit you better.

Why choose a 110cm induction range cooker?

A 110cm range cooker gives you a noticeable step up in space compared to a standard 60cm cooker, both on the hob and in the ovens. With induction on top, you’re combining that generous footprint with efficient, responsive heat.

Typical advantages of a 110cm induction range include:

  • Plenty of hob space for multiple pans at once – ideal for family meals and entertaining.
  • Multiple oven cavities so you can roast, bake and grill at different temperatures simultaneously.
  • Induction technology for fast heat-up, precise control and a surface that’s easier to keep clean than gas.
  • A statement look that can anchor a traditional or modern kitchen design.

The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110EIRB/C sits firmly in this space: a full-width electric range with induction hob and a traditional, country-style aesthetic that happens to be packed with modern tech. If you want a deeper dive into its layout, functions and owner impressions, you can read our full review of the Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110EIRB/C here.

Understanding the Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110EIRB/C

At 110cm wide, the Classic Deluxe CDL110EIRB/C is designed for cooks who regularly juggle several dishes. While the exact spec sheet is best checked in the detailed review, the broad picture is a multi-cavity electric range with an induction hob and A/A-rated ovens, all wrapped in a Regal Blue finish with chrome trim.

That combination appeals if you’re aiming for a traditional look – think shaker cabinets, Belfast sink and warm timber worktops – but still want the speed and controllability of induction. The classic control knobs and porthole-style details feel more like a piece of furniture than a plain built-in oven, yet day-to-day usability is thoroughly modern.

Owners also tend to value the consistency of electric ovens for baking, roasting and batch cooking. With multiple cavities, it’s easier to match temperature to task, whether you’re slow-cooking a joint, crisping up roast potatoes, or baking desserts at a lower heat. For a closer look at how the Classic Deluxe performs with real recipes, timings and capacity tests, head over to our in-depth Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110EIRB/C review.

Induction vs dual fuel: which suits you?

One of the biggest decisions when buying a range cooker is whether to go all-electric with induction, or choose dual fuel with a gas hob. The Classic Deluxe CDL110EIRB/C is firmly in the first camp, so it’s worth weighing that against some closely related dual fuel options.

When induction makes sense

Induction hobs use magnetic fields to heat the base of your pan directly, rather than heating the air underneath. This has a few practical benefits:

  • Very fast heat-up times and instant response when you turn the power down.
  • A cooler glass surface compared to traditional ceramic hobs, which is safer around children.
  • Spills don’t burn on as easily, so a quick wipe is often enough to keep things looking smart.
  • Improved energy efficiency, because less heat is wasted.

If you’re set on induction but want a slightly different aesthetic, the Rangemaster Elise ELS110EISL is worth a look. It’s another 110cm-wide electric range with induction hob, but with a more contemporary, continental design and a Slate (graphite) finish rather than the Classic Deluxe’s period styling.

When dual fuel could be better

Dual fuel combines gas burners on top with electric ovens below. If you love a visible flame and often cook with woks or use techniques like charring peppers directly over the flame, it can be very appealing.

Within the same broader family of Rangemaster ranges, you’ll find several 110cm dual fuel models that echo the layout of the Classic Deluxe but with gas hobs:

If you already have a gas supply in place and enjoy cooking over flame, one of these dual fuel models may suit you better than induction. If you’re keen to reduce gas usage or you don’t have gas in the kitchen at all, the Classic Deluxe CDL110EIRB/C’s induction hob is the logical choice.

Planning your kitchen around a 110cm range

A 110cm range cooker will dominate the wall it sits on, so planning is key. Before getting carried away with colour swatches, there are a few practical checks to make.

Measuring up properly

Start by confirming you truly have 110cm of clear width at the chosen spot, plus any clearance recommended by the manufacturer at the sides. Consider:

  • Door openings nearby – will the cooker handle or oven doors clash with a fridge, dishwasher or larder when open?
  • Ventilation and extractor positioning above the hob.
  • Worktop on at least one side for placing hot trays and pans.

Don’t forget access routes. Check the path from the front door to the kitchen with a tape measure, including any tight turns, staircases and doorways. Ranges are big, heavy appliances; knowing it will physically get to its new home avoids last-minute headaches.

Electrical and gas requirements

An electric range with induction like the Classic Deluxe CDL110EIRB/C will usually need a dedicated high-capacity electrical supply and an appropriate breaker. In some homes this may already exist, especially if you’re replacing a similar appliance; in others, an electrician may need to upgrade the circuit.

Dual fuel alternatives, such as the Nexus SE NEXSE110DFFIV/C or the Classic Deluxe gas-hob variants, will also require a gas connection and a suitable electrical supply for the ovens and ignition. Always check installation notes and factor in any professional labour when budgeting.

Style, colour and finish: matching your range to your kitchen

One of the joys of choosing a range cooker is treating it like a design centrepiece. The Regal Blue and chrome detailing of the Classic Deluxe CDL110EIRB/C is ideal if you want a strong colour statement that still feels timeless rather than trendy.

However, if you’d rather your cooker blend more quietly into a modern scheme, the Elise ELS110EISL in Slate has a smoother, more minimalist aesthetic. Meanwhile, deep greens such as the Classic Deluxe Racing Green CDL110DFFRG/B or Olive Green CDL110DFFOG/B can pair beautifully with natural stone and warm metals, creating a softer, heritage look.

Think about:

  • Cabinet and worktop colours – do you want contrast or harmony?
  • Handle colours – chrome, brass or brushed finishes can tie in with taps and hardware.
  • Flooring and splashbacks – a bold range can be balanced by more neutral surfaces nearby.

Because a range cooker tends to stay in place for many years, opting for a colour and style you’ll still enjoy a decade from now is often wiser than chasing fleeting trends.

Living with an induction range cooker day to day

Beyond installation and styling, it’s worth picturing what daily life with an induction range like the Classic Deluxe CDL110EIRB/C actually feels like.

Cooking and capacity

If you regularly cook roasts, batch-cook meals for the freezer or bake for friends and family, the multiple cavities on a 110cm range come into their own. You can slow-roast meat at one temperature while roasting vegetables at another, and still have a separate grill for bacon, cheese on toast or quick midweek suppers.

The induction hob’s speed is particularly noticeable when boiling water or stir-frying. It also offers fine control for delicate sauces and chocolate, something that’s easy to appreciate if you’re used to a sluggish electric hotplate.

Cleaning and maintenance

Day-to-day cleaning is simpler than many people expect with a range cooker. Induction tops are flat and glassy, so there are no pan supports to soak. Wiping spills promptly after cooking – once cool – keeps the glass looking smart, and specialist cleaners can help with occasional stubborn marks.

Inside, it’s worth checking whether your chosen model has catalytic or enamel liners, and how the shelves are supported. Regular wiping and using oven-safe trays to catch drips will make deeper cleans less of a chore. Investing in good-quality oven gloves and sturdy trays also helps you feel confident using every part of those wide ovens.

Comparing similar 110cm ranges

If you’ve narrowed things down to a 110cm range but haven’t yet chosen a specific model, it’s sensible to compare a few side by side. All of the following sit in a similar size and price band, but differ in style and fuel type:

Reading detailed hands-on impressions is invaluable when you’re spending this much on a centrepiece appliance. Each linked model above has its own dedicated write-up, letting you compare oven layouts, control feel and real-world usability before you commit.

Key questions to ask before you buy

Whether you end up with the Classic Deluxe CDL110EIRB/C or one of its close relatives, it’s worth running through a short checklist before hitting “buy”:

  • Fuel type: Do you truly prefer induction, or will you miss the feel of gas?
  • Space: Does a 110cm range fit comfortably, with room to open doors fully and move around?
  • Installation: Are your electrical (and gas, if needed) supplies ready, or do you need an upgrade?
  • Cooking habits: Do you regularly use multiple ovens and a large hob, or would a smaller size suffice?
  • Style: Does the finish work with your long-term kitchen plans, not just your current décor?

Once you’re happy with those answers, the final step is drilling into the specifics: shelf positions, grill options, timer controls, and how owners have found reliability and aftercare. That’s where in-depth product coverage really pays off.

Next steps

A well-chosen 110cm range cooker can transform the way you cook, turning big family meals and entertaining into far less of a juggling act. The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110EIRB/C offers a compelling mix of traditional styling, induction efficiency and generous capacity, making it a strong candidate if you’re committed to going all-electric with a statement piece in Regal Blue.

With the right planning and a model that truly matches your cooking style, your new range can be the heart of the kitchen for many years to come.

FAQs

Is an induction range cooker better than a gas range cooker?

Induction cookers heat pans directly, so they are typically faster and more energy-efficient than gas. They also keep the hob surface cooler and are easier to clean. Gas gives a visible flame and slightly more feedback for some cooks, especially with woks. The best choice depends on whether you prefer efficiency and easy cleaning or a traditional gas cooking feel.
You need pans with a magnetic base for induction to work properly. Cast iron and many stainless-steel pans are suitable, while copper, glass and some aluminium pans are not unless they have an induction-compatible base. A simple way to check is to see if a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom of the pan. If it does, it should work on induction.
A 110cm range cooker is wider than a standard 60cm slot, so you’ll need to plan space carefully. In many UK kitchens it fits well along a main run of units, provided you leave clearance either side and above. It’s ideal if you cook for a family or entertain regularly. Always measure the route into the kitchen too, including doors and tight corners.
Running costs depend on how often you cook and current energy prices, but induction is generally more efficient at turning energy into heat in the pan. Dual fuel models use gas for the hob and electricity for the ovens, which some people find offers the best cooking feel but can be less efficient at the hob. If you cook a lot on the hob, induction can help keep bills lower. Checking energy labels and usage habits will give the best comparison.
Wait until the surface is completely cool, then wipe away spills with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. For stubborn marks, use a scraper designed for glass hobs and follow the manufacturer’s guidance. Avoid scouring pads or harsh chemicals that can scratch the surface. Cleaning little and often helps prevent burnt-on residue.
Focus first on fuel type, width and capacity so the cooker fits your kitchen and your household size. Then look at oven layout, separate grill options, and whether you want features such as programmable timers or dedicated slow-cook settings. Style and finish matter too, as a range is a visual focal point. Finally, consider energy efficiency and ease of cleaning for long-term satisfaction.
A range cooker is still worthwhile if you like having plenty of hob space and the flexibility of multiple ovens. Even if you rarely bake, separate cavities are useful for keeping food warm, grilling, or cooking at different temperatures at the same time. If you mostly cook simple meals for one or two people, a smaller cooker might be more sensible. Think about how often you entertain or cook big weekend meals when deciding.
Most induction range cookers require a dedicated high-capacity electrical circuit, often on its own breaker. This usually means professional installation by a qualified electrician, especially in older homes. Always check the manufacturer’s electrical load requirements before buying. Planning this in advance avoids surprises on delivery day.
