Rangemaster Classic Deluxe Induction Range Cooker Guide

If you love the idea of a statement range cooker but want the speed and control of modern induction, the Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110EIOG/C in Olive Green is exactly the kind of appliance that bridges old-school looks with up-to-date tech. In this guide we’ll look at what it’s like to live with a 110cm electric range cooker with induction hob, how the Classic Deluxe fits into a real UK kitchen, and a few stylish alternatives if you’re still weighing up your options.

Why choose a 110cm induction range cooker?

A 110cm range cooker is about more than just extra width. You’re getting multiple ovens, a generous grill and a wide hob surface, all in one focused zone of your kitchen. For busy households, keen bakers or anyone who hosts Sunday lunches for the whole family, the extra capacity can make life noticeably easier.

Pair that with an induction hob and you gain very fast heat-up times, precise temperature control and a smooth glass surface that’s simple to wipe down. Unlike traditional electric plates or ceramic, induction heats the pan directly, which means less wasted energy and a cooler hob area around the zones.

The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110EIOG/C sits firmly in this sweet spot: big capacity, classic styling, and modern induction on top. If you’re coming from a standard 60cm cooker or a built-in single oven, it’s a substantial upgrade in both presence and practicality.

Living with the Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110EIOG/C

The Olive Green and chrome finish of the Classic Deluxe immediately gives it a traditional, country-kitchen feel, but underneath the styling it’s a contemporary electric range. It’s designed for cooks who want that heritage aesthetic without sacrificing fast heat-up times and accurate temperature control.

In day-to-day use, the 110cm width makes it much easier to separate tasks. You can keep one oven for roasting, another for baking, and still have grill or warming options without constantly juggling trays. For anyone who has tried to pull off a full roast with trimmings in a single oven, that extra space is very welcome.

If you want to dig into detailed performance, individual oven capacities and the exact feature set, it’s worth taking a look at our full review of the Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110EIOG/C, where we focus purely on how it behaves in everyday cooking tests.

Induction hob advantages in a family kitchen

Switching from gas or ceramic to induction can feel like a big step, but the benefits are noticeable from the first week. On a range cooker like the Classic Deluxe CDL110EIOG/C, the hob is the everyday workhorse, so it’s worth understanding what you’re getting.

Speed: Water for pasta or vegetables boils significantly faster than on many traditional electric or gas hobs.
Control: You can go from a rolling boil to a gentle simmer in seconds, which helps with sauces and delicate dishes.
Safety: The glass surface doesn’t get as hot as a ceramic top because the pan is what’s heated. This cools down more quickly once you turn it off.
Easy cleaning: Spills are less likely to burn on, and the flat surface is simple to wipe with a cloth once cool.

If your kitchen is the heart of your home and you cook almost every day, these small advantages add up. Over time they can also make a difference to your energy bills compared with older-style electric ranges.

Classic vs contemporary: different looks, similar capability

Not everyone wants the same look, even if they need similar cooking power. The Olive Green Classic Deluxe has a distinctly traditional feel. If you like that but want a slightly different twist, there are closely related options.

For instance, the Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110EIRG/B 110cm Electric Range Cooker with Induction Hob in Racing Green and Brass offers almost the same recipe of electric ovens and induction, but with deeper green tones and warm brass trim. It suits period properties or kitchens with brass taps and handles, and is a good choice if you want the same underlying format as the Olive Green model but prefer a bolder, richer colour.

If you’re drawn to cream finishes and a slightly different take on traditional styling, the Rangemaster Estel Deluxe ESDLB110EIPPCR/AB1 110cm Electric Range Cooker with Induction Hob in Cream with Antique Brass brings another flavour of classic design. It’s still an electric range with induction on top, but with more understated lines. Think of it as a gentler, softer look that pairs well with light, neutral kitchens.

Considering dual fuel instead of all-electric

If you love the idea of a 110cm range but are hesitant about going fully electric, dual fuel models give you a different balance: electric ovens with a gas hob on top. This can be appealing if you’re used to the instant visual feedback of gas flames or you do a lot of stir-frying.

Two notable alternatives in roughly the same size bracket are:

Both of these maintain the wide format but move towards a more modern fascia and incorporate features like steam-assisted cooking in the ovens. They’re ideal if you like a sleeker, more contemporary look than the Classic Deluxe, or you want to experiment with steam for bread, roasts and fish while keeping a traditional gas hob.

Comparing them to the Classic Deluxe CDL110EIOG/C highlights a key decision: do you prioritise the clean lines and heat control of induction, or the familiar feel of gas burners with visible flames? There’s no right or wrong answer, but thinking about the dishes you cook most often will usually point you in the right direction.

Planning your kitchen around a 110cm range

A range cooker of this size deserves some planning so it works seamlessly in your layout rather than dominating it. Start with the basics: you’ll need a 110cm gap in your units, plus any clearances your installer recommends for safety and ventilation.

Think about what will sit either side of the range. Many people like a set of pan drawers on one side and a worktop prep area on the other. If you regularly bake or roll pastry, leaving a decent stretch of uninterrupted worktop near the cooker can make life easier.

Don’t forget extraction. A 110cm range usually pairs best with a wider hood to match the cooker width, especially if you cook a lot of strong-smelling dishes or fry regularly. This also keeps the whole cooking zone visually integrated, especially important if you’re making a feature of the Classic Deluxe’s Olive Green and chrome styling.

Energy, efficiency and everyday running costs

With energy prices higher than they used to be, it’s sensible to consider running costs as well as purchase price. Electric ranges with induction hobs, such as the Classic Deluxe CDL110EIOG/C and the Estel Deluxe ESDLB110EIPPCR/AB1, can be relatively efficient at hob-level compared with older electric or gas setups.

There are some simple habits that help keep usage down:

Use the smallest oven cavity that will comfortably fit your dish, rather than heating the largest for a single tray.
Pre-heat for as short a time as possible; many modern ovens reach temperature quicker than older models.
On induction, choose a pan that matches the zone size and keep lids on to reduce heat loss.
Batch cooking meals can make better use of the heat you’ve paid for, especially in the larger ovens of a 110cm range.

All of the alternatives mentioned here sit towards the premium end of the market, so it’s worth using their flexibility properly: multiple ovens mean you can avoid running a huge cavity for just a few fish fingers.

Style and colour: making a feature of your range

One of the main reasons people gravitate toward models like the Classic Deluxe CDL110EIOG/C is that they become a focal point. The Olive Green enamel and chrome details are designed to stand out, not disappear into a wall of white cabinets.

If you lean into this idea, you can build the rest of your scheme around the cooker. Pair it with muted greens, creams and natural woods for a classic country look, or contrast it with darker worktops and bold tiles to make the colour pop. The Racing Green and brass finish on the Classic Deluxe CDL110EIRG/B pushes that heritage feel even further, while the cream Estel Deluxe and the slate Nexus Steam models step towards more neutral, contemporary palettes.

Whichever way you go, remember that range cookers tend to have a long lifespan. Choosing a finish you’ll still enjoy in ten years, and one that works with potential future cabinet colours, is often more important than chasing short-term trends.

Is the Classic Deluxe CDL110EIOG/C right for you?

The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110EIOG/C makes the most sense if you want:

A 110cm electric range with induction for fast, precise hob cooking.
Traditional styling with distinctive Olive Green and chrome detailing.
Multiple ovens for big family meals, batch cooking or entertaining.

If those boxes are ticked, it’s well worth learning more about its specific oven layout, functions and controls in our in-depth Classic Deluxe CDL110EIOG/C review, where we focus purely on real-world use.

On the other hand, if you’re set on an induction range but want a different colour or subtly different styling, the Estel Deluxe ESDLB110EIPPCR/AB1 in Cream, or the Classic Deluxe CDL110EIRG/B in Racing Green and Brass, are strong contenders. And if you decide dual fuel with a gas hob is more your style, the Nexus Steam NEX110SODFFIV/C and NEX110SODFFSL/C offer a more contemporary, feature-rich take on the 110cm format.

Final thoughts

Choosing a range cooker is as much about how you live as how you cook. The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110EIOG/C brings together the charm of a traditional range with the speed and control of induction, making it a compelling centrepiece for family kitchens and keen cooks alike.

Whether you’re leaning towards this Olive Green model, a cream or racing green alternative, or a dual fuel Nexus Steam, taking time to understand the layout, fuel type and styling you genuinely prefer will help you pick a cooker you’ll enjoy for years.

FAQs

Is an induction range cooker better than a gas or ceramic model?

Induction is usually faster and more efficient than gas or ceramic, because it heats the pan directly rather than the air around it. It also offers very precise temperature control and a cooler hob surface, which helps with safety and cleaning. Gas can feel more traditional and is great for wok cooking, while ceramic is often cheaper upfront but slower to heat and cool. The best option depends on how you like to cook, your budget and whether you already own compatible pans.

Do I need special pans for an induction hob on a range cooker?

Induction hobs need pans with a magnetic base, such as cast iron or many stainless-steel ranges. To test your existing pans, hold a fridge magnet to the base; if it sticks firmly, it should work on induction. Aluminium, copper and non-magnetic stainless pans without an induction-ready base will not heat properly. Investing in a good basic set of induction-compatible pans is often worthwhile when upgrading to induction.

How much space do I need for a 110cm range cooker?

You’ll need enough width for the cooker itself, plus clearance recommended by the manufacturer on each side and behind for ventilation and installation. A 110cm range usually suits medium to large kitchens, particularly if you have an island or a generous run of cabinets. Remember to check height and depth too, especially if you have a thick worktop or a cooker hood with a fixed height. Always confirm exact measurements and ventilation gaps with your fitter before ordering.

Are electric range cookers expensive to run?

Electric range cookers can use a fair amount of energy, especially if you regularly heat multiple ovens for long periods. However, induction hobs are typically more efficient than gas or traditional electric, which helps offset overall running costs. Using the right-sized pan, keeping lids on, and avoiding pre-heating for longer than needed can all reduce energy use. Choosing models with good energy ratings for their ovens will also help keep bills in check.

How do I clean an induction hob on a range cooker?

Induction hobs are generally easier to clean than gas because the surface is flat and food is less likely to burn on. Allow the hob to cool, then wipe with a soft cloth and warm soapy water, finishing with a dry microfibre cloth to avoid smears. For stubborn marks, use a hob-specific cleaner and a non-scratch pad. Avoid abrasive cleaners and metal scrapers that could damage the glass surface.

Is a 110cm range cooker worth it for a small household?

A 110cm range can still make sense for a couple or small family if you cook frequently, batch-cook or entertain. Multiple cavities let you cook different dishes at different temperatures without flavours mixing. However, they do take up more space and cost more than standard single ovens, so it’s a balance between your cooking style, kitchen size and budget. If you rarely use the oven or have a compact kitchen, a smaller cooker might be more practical.

What should I look for when choosing an electric range cooker with induction?

Think about oven capacity, how many cavities you’ll genuinely use, and whether you prefer a traditional or modern style. Check the number and layout of induction zones, any flexible zones, and the controls for simmering and high heat. Also look at energy ratings, grill options, storage features and cleaning aids like catalytic or pyrolytic linings. Finally, consider colour and finish so it suits your kitchen long term.

Do induction range cookers need special electrical wiring?

Most full-size induction range cookers need a dedicated high-amperage circuit installed by a qualified electrician. Existing cooker circuits in older homes are sometimes not powerful enough and may need upgrading. Always check the manufacturer’s power requirements and consult a professional before buying. This ensures safe, reliable performance and compliance with local regulations.
