If you’re dreaming of a statement cooker that can handle Sunday roasts, Christmas dinner and busy weeknights without breaking a sweat, a full-width range cooker is hard to beat. The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110EICY/C is a 110cm wide electric range cooker with an induction hob in a bold Cranberry and chrome finish, and it’s exactly the sort of appliance people buy as the centrepiece of a kitchen rather than an afterthought. This guide walks you through what a range like this offers, who it suits, and how it compares with other high-end options so you can choose the right cooker with confidence.
Why choose a 110cm electric range cooker with induction?
A 110cm range cooker immediately changes how you cook. Instead of juggling everything in one oven and two or three burners, you gain multiple ovens, a dedicated grill and a roomy induction hob. For keen home cooks and bigger households, that extra space is the difference between stressful and seamless entertaining.
The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110EICY/C takes that flexibility and pairs it with an induction hob. Induction uses magnetic fields to heat your pans directly rather than warming the glass and surrounding air, so you get:
- Very fast heat-up times – handy for boiling pasta water or searing steaks.
- Precise low heat – ideal for melting chocolate or simmering sauces.
- A flat, wipe-clean surface once it’s cool.
If you like the look of a traditional range but want modern, efficient cooking, this combination makes a lot of sense.
The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110EICY/C at a glance
The Classic Deluxe CDL110EICY/C sits in Rangemaster’s heritage-inspired line-up: think bevelled doors, chunky control knobs and that deep Cranberry colour with chrome trim. It’s designed to look at home in a farmhouse-style kitchen, but the clean induction surface keeps it feeling contemporary.

In day-to-day terms, owning a cooker like this typically means:
- Multiple electric ovens so you can roast, bake and grill at the same time.
- A powerful induction hob with plenty of zones for large pans and griddles.
- A substantial, eye-catching appliance that anchors the whole room.
Who is this kind of range cooker best for?
Before falling in love with the colour and styling, it’s worth being honest about your cooking habits and kitchen layout. A 110cm electric range cooker with induction hob is usually best for:
- Busy households with several people cooking or eating at different times.
- Entertainers who regularly host friends and family and need oven space to match.
- Open-plan kitchens where the cooker is on show and becomes a visual focal point.
- Planned renovations, where you can design the electrics and cabinetry around a large appliance.
If you have a compact galley kitchen, it might still fit, but you’ll want to check clearances carefully and think about how much worktop space you’re willing to give up either side.
Induction vs dual fuel: which suits you?
One of the biggest decisions when choosing a range cooker is whether to go all-electric with induction, or opt for dual fuel (gas hob, electric ovens). The Classic Deluxe CDL110EICY/C is firmly in the electric camp, but Rangemaster offers some strong dual fuel alternatives if you like the idea of a gas flame.
Staying with induction: electric alternatives to consider
If you love the idea of induction but want a slightly different look or finish, there are a couple of noteworthy 110cm electric ranges worth comparing.
The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110EIRG/B is essentially a sibling to the Cranberry model, but in Racing Green with brass details. Functionally, it plays a very similar role: 110cm wide, electric throughout with an induction hob, and styled in that same Classic Deluxe family. The choice here is largely aesthetic – do you prefer deep red with chrome, or rich green with warmer brass?
If you want a slightly different take on traditional styling, the Rangemaster Estel Deluxe ESDLB110EIPPCR/AB1 in Cream with antique brass trim is also an all-electric 110cm range with induction hob. It leans even more into the classic, country-kitchen look, while still offering the modernity and efficiency of induction. This is a great option if you’re pairing your cooker with neutral cabinetry and want something softer than a bold Cranberry finish.
Considering gas: dual fuel alternatives
If you cannot imagine cooking without the feel and visual feedback of a gas flame, dual fuel ranges are worth a serious look. They keep the even, reliable baking performance of electric ovens but give you a gas hob on top.
The Rangemaster Nexus Steam NEX110SODFFIV/C is a 110cm dual fuel model in an Ivory and chrome finish. It combines a modern, clean-lined design with a gas hob and an electric oven set-up that includes steam functionality, which is excellent for bread, roasts and healthier cooking. If you’ve always wanted to experiment with steam but also crave the responsiveness of gas, this is a compelling alternative to a pure induction range.
For a darker, more contemporary twist on the same concept, look at the Rangemaster Nexus Steam NEX110SODFFSL/C in Slate. Again you get dual fuel with steam-assisted cooking, but in a graphite-like finish that pairs beautifully with modern handleless cabinets and industrial-style lighting. Both Nexus Steam models tilt slightly more modern than the Classic Deluxe and Estel Deluxe families.
Planning the space for a 110cm range cooker
Once you know whether you’re leaning towards the Classic Deluxe CDL110EICY/C or one of the alternatives, the next step is making sure it fits your kitchen in practice as well as in theory.
Measure width, depth and height
110cm refers to the width, but you also need to check depth and height. Many ranges are deeper than standard cabinets, so they may stand slightly proud of your worktops. Double-check:
- Clearance to side walls and doors so oven doors can open fully.
- Depth compared with any island or opposite cabinetry.
- Extractor hood width and height above the hob.
A range this size deserves space around it, both visually and for safety when moving hot pans in and out.
Electrical and gas requirements
An all-electric range cooker with induction hob like the Classic Deluxe CDL110EICY/C will usually need a dedicated high-amp electrical connection. Arrange a qualified electrician to confirm your current set-up and install the correct wiring if needed.
Dual fuel models such as the Nexus Steam range will need both this dedicated electric supply and a suitable gas connection. Factor any installation work into your overall budget and timeline.
Living with an induction range cooker
If you’re used to gas or ceramic, switching to induction can feel like a leap. In practice, most people adapt very quickly and find day-to-day cooking easier.
Pan compatibility and everyday use
Induction requires magnetic pans. Many modern stainless-steel sets work perfectly, and cast iron is usually ideal. If you’re upgrading from an older mixed collection, it’s worth checking your existing pans with a fridge magnet and budgeting for a new set if necessary.
Once you’re up and running, expect extremely fast response to temperature changes. Boiling water, stir-frying and deep searing become quicker, while low settings stay stable for gentle simmering. The surface around the pans stays relatively cool compared with traditional electric, which can be reassuring in busy households.
Cleaning and maintenance
One of the big wins with an induction hob is cleaning. Because the glass doesn’t get as scorchingly hot as a traditional radiant zone, spills are less likely to burn on. Once the hob is cool, a quick wipe with a soft cloth and a suitable cleaner is usually all it takes.
For the oven cavities and grill, the same common-sense advice applies:
- Wipe up major spills once the oven is cool, rather than letting them bake on repeatedly.
- Use oven-safe trays and roasting tins to catch drips and fat.
- Follow the manual’s guidance on liners and interior coatings to avoid damaging them.
Making the most of multiple ovens
The real power of a 110cm range cooker lies in its multiple ovens. Whether you’re cooking on the Classic Deluxe CDL110EICY/C or a similar-sized alternative, a bit of planning unlocks a lot of convenience.
- Everyday efficiency: Use the smaller oven for solo meals or quick bakes to avoid heating a huge cavity unnecessarily.
- Weekend roasts: Keep meat in one oven and sides in another so you can use different temperatures without compromise.
- Baking days: Separate sweet and savoury dishes into different ovens to avoid flavour transfer.
- Entertaining: Pre-warm plates in a low oven while keeping food hot in another, so everything hits the table together.
Over time, you’ll naturally gravitate to a preferred oven for most jobs and reserve the others for busier occasions.
Choosing the right style and finish for your kitchen
Performance matters, but with a cooker this prominent, style is almost as important. Here’s how the models we’ve mentioned sit on the spectrum:
- Classic country charm: The Cranberry and chrome of the Classic Deluxe CDL110EICY/C, the Racing Green and brass of the Classic Deluxe CDL110EIRG/B, and the Cream and antique brass of the Estel Deluxe all lean into traditional, characterful kitchens.
- Soft heritage neutrals: The Estel Deluxe ESDLB110EIPPCR/AB1, with its cream finish, works beautifully in shaker-style spaces and period properties where you want warmth without bold colour.
- Modern minimal: The Nexus Steam NEX110SODFFIV/C and NEX110SODFFSL/C bring a sleeker, more contemporary feel, especially in Slate, which pairs well with modern worktops and darker cabinetry.
Think about your long-term plans for the kitchen. Bold colours can be surprisingly timeless if you love them, but if you’re likely to refresh the room every few years, a more neutral finish may be easier to live with.
Budget, value and long-term ownership
Premium 110cm range cookers are a serious investment, and the models discussed here all sit at the high end of the market. That said, they’re designed to be long-term purchases that you build the rest of your kitchen around, not short-term stopgaps.
When weighing up value, consider:
- How often you cook: Daily cooks and keen bakers will benefit more than occasional users.
- Fuel type: Induction models can be more energy-efficient in everyday use, especially for small meals.
- Features you’ll actually use: Steam functions, extra ovens and specialist settings are fantastic if you use them, but don’t pay for features that don’t fit your style.
- Resale appeal: A well-chosen range cooker can be a selling point if you move house, particularly in open-plan family homes.
It’s also worth reading user impressions over time. The Classic Deluxe CDL110EICY/C and its stablemates have amassed many reviews, which can reveal how they cope with heavy, everyday use. You can explore those in more detail when you read our in-depth Classic Deluxe CDL110EICY/C review.
Which 110cm range cooker should you choose?
If you want a traditional-looking electric range with modern induction cooking, the Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110EICY/C in Cranberry and chrome is a strong contender, especially in kitchens where a bold, heritage-style centrepiece will shine. If you prefer green and brass or a softer cream aesthetic, the Classic Deluxe CDL110EIRG/B and Estel Deluxe ESDLB110EIPPCR/AB1 are well worth shortlisting as like-for-like electric alternatives.
If a gas hob and steam-assisted cooking are higher on your wish list, the Nexus Steam NEX110SODFFIV/C and NEX110SODFFSL/C offer a different blend of modern design and cooking flexibility. In all cases, taking the time to match fuel type, style and features to your real-world cooking habits will pay off every time you switch the cooker on.
