If you love to cook, few upgrades feel as transformative as moving to a proper range cooker. Wide ovens, extra hob space and a more substantial build all make everyday meals – and big family gatherings – easier to handle. Among modern options, induction range cookers are especially appealing, combining the traditional look of a range with fast, precise electric performance.
In this guide we’ll focus on the Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL110EISS/C 110cm Electric Range Cooker with Induction Hob, and how a model like this can fit into real homes. We’ll also look at closely related alternatives, such as the cream, cherry red and white Rangemaster Elise dual fuel ranges and the cranberry version of the Professional Deluxe, to help you work out which style and fuel type best suits your kitchen.
Why consider a 110cm induction range cooker?
A 110cm range cooker is a serious piece of kit, but it doesn’t have to be intimidating. For many UK households it’s simply a more practical way to cook, with space and flexibility that smaller 60cm cookers struggle to match.
The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL110EISS/C is a good example of what this type of appliance offers:
- A wide, commanding presence that becomes the focal point of your kitchen.
- Multiple ovens, usually including a fan oven, for cooking different dishes at once.
- An induction hob that heats pans quickly and is easier to wipe clean than traditional burners.
- Electric ovens for consistent, even heat – ideal for baking and roasting.

Understanding induction: what it means in day-to-day cooking
Induction cooking uses electromagnets to heat your pans directly. Instead of warming a metal plate or flame underneath, the hob activates only when a suitable pan is in place, which brings a few real-world advantages:
- Speed: Boiling water and searing are noticeably faster than on many ceramic or gas hobs.
- Control: Heat adjustments are instant, so you can quickly move from a rolling boil to a gentle simmer.
- Safety: Zones don’t get as hot as a traditional electric hob and they cool quicker, helping reduce burnt-on spills and accidental burns.
- Easy cleaning: With a flat glass surface and fewer nooks, a quick wipe usually restores the sheen.
You do need induction-compatible pans, but many modern sets already are. If you’re upgrading from an older gas or ceramic set-up, it’s worth factoring in a modest budget for new pans where necessary.
Electric range ovens: capacity and configuration
One of the reasons people gravitate towards models like the Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL110EISS/C is oven flexibility. While exact litre figures vary between specific versions, this style of 110cm range typically gives you:
- A generous main oven suitable for family roasts and batch cooking.
- A second oven, often fan-assisted, handy for baking or cooking sides at a different temperature.
- A dedicated grill compartment for quick snacks or finishing dishes under intense heat.
For busy households, that means you can slow-roast a joint in one oven, bake a pudding in another and still have space for roast potatoes or gratins. If you regularly cook for extended family, this extra capacity is one of the strongest arguments for going up to 110cm.

Induction vs dual fuel: should you consider the Elise range instead?
Not everyone wants an induction hob. If you enjoy cooking over a visible flame, or have a collection of non-induction pans you’re not ready to part with, a dual fuel range might suit you better. This is where the Rangemaster Elise models come into play.
The following alternatives combine gas hobs with electric ovens and share the expansive 110cm format:
- Rangemaster Elise ELS110DFFCR 110cm Dual Fuel Range Cooker in Cream – a classic, softer look that suits traditional and country-style kitchens.
- Rangemaster Elise ELS110DFFRD 110cm Dual Fuel Range Cooker in Cherry Red – bold and eye-catching if you want your cooker to stand out.
- Rangemaster Elise ELS110DFFWH 110cm Dual Fuel Range Cooker in White – crisp and clean, ideal for lighter, more minimal spaces.
Each Elise model offers the tactile control of gas burners with the baking reliability of electric ovens. If you do a lot of wok cooking, charring peppers or toasting flatbreads directly over the flame, this combination can be very appealing.
If you’re torn between the precision of induction and the familiarity of gas, it’s worth comparing how you cook today. Quick weeknight meals and lots of simmering sauces often lean towards induction, whereas flame-centric cooking styles suit dual fuel. The full reviews linked above explore the Elise range’s performance in more detail.
Choosing your finish: stainless, cream, cranberry, red or white?
A 110cm range cooker dominates a wall, so its finish has a big impact on the overall feel of your kitchen. The Professional Deluxe PDL110EISS/C comes in stainless steel with chrome detailing, which tends to work well in contemporary spaces with other metallic appliances.
If you love the idea of an induction hob but want a bit more colour, the closely related Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL110EICY/C 110cm Electric Range Cooker with Induction Hob in Cranberry and Chrome is worth a serious look. It offers a similar appliance concept, but with a deep red tone that adds warmth and character.
The Elise dual fuel models add even more personality options, especially the cream and cherry red versions, which can either subtly blend with soft-toned cabinets or become a statement piece under a matching cooker hood.
When choosing a finish, think about:
- Existing metalwork such as taps, handles and lighting.
- How much natural light your kitchen gets.
- Whether you’d like the cooker to blend in or stand out.
- How fingerprints and marks will show up in everyday use.
Installation, space and ventilation: what to plan before you buy
A 110cm range cooker is a significant installation, so it’s important to plan properly before committing. Key points to cover include:
- Width and clearance: Check you have at least 110cm of uninterrupted run, plus a little extra for any recommended side clearances and to avoid tight door clashes with adjacent cabinets.
- Depth and height: Ensure the cooker will line up comfortably with your worktops and not protrude awkwardly into the room.
- Electrical supply: Electric and induction ranges like the Professional Deluxe need a suitably rated, dedicated circuit, installed by a qualified electrician.
- Gas supply: Dual fuel Elise models require safe gas pipe access and installation by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
- Ventilation: Ideally you’ll pair your range with a powerful hood or extractor to match the wider hob surface.
Measuring twice and consulting an installer early can help avoid surprises on delivery day, especially in older properties where walls and floors may not be perfectly straight.
Living with a large induction range day to day
Once installed, a range cooker tends to become the heart of family life. For an induction model like the Professional Deluxe PDL110EISS/C, you can expect a few day-to-day benefits:
- Quick start: No waiting for elements to glow; pans heat rapidly as soon as you turn on a zone.
- Flexible cooking: Multiple ovens mean less juggling when you’re balancing mains, sides and desserts.
- Easier cleaning: Flat glass on top, enamel interiors and removable door glass (on many modern ranges) simplify the weekly clean.
- Stable temperatures: Electric ovens are well suited to baking, with even heat for cakes, bread and pastry.
Induction hobs often have helpful extras, such as timers, child locks and residual heat indicators, which can all make daily life smoother and safer.
Care and maintenance tips for long-term reliability
Looked after sensibly, a quality range cooker should last many years. A few simple habits can help keep both induction and dual fuel models in good condition:
- Wipe up spills on the hob as soon as it’s cool to avoid burnt-on residue.
- Use oven liners or trays to catch drips when roasting.
- Run any built-in cleaning cycles (such as catalytic liners working at higher temperatures) as recommended in the manual.
- Avoid dragging heavy cast iron pans across the glass hob; lift them instead.
- Check door seals periodically and replace if they become damaged to maintain efficiency and even cooking.
Following the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning products and methods is always wise, especially for the hob surface and chrome trim.
Energy efficiency and running costs
All of the models mentioned here carry modern efficiency ratings for their ovens, with the Professional Deluxe PDL110EISS/C listed as A/A rated. This means it’s designed to use energy sensibly for its size, though actual running costs will still depend on how often and how you cook.
Induction hobs are naturally efficient because most of the energy passes straight into the pan. To keep bills in check:
- Use pans that match the size of the induction zone.
- Pop lids on pots when boiling or simmering.
- Preheat ovens only as long as needed, and cook multiple dishes together where possible.
Dual fuel models like the Elise range use gas on the hob, which many cooks find intuitive and reasonably economical, especially for high-heat tasks. Balancing gas hob use with efficient electric oven habits gives a good overall result.
Which 110cm range cooker is right for you?
To narrow down your choice, start with three key questions:
- Fuel type: Do you prefer the speed and easy cleaning of induction, or the flame control of gas?
- Style and finish: Is a professional stainless look more your taste, or do you want the softer or bolder colours of the Elise and cranberry Professional Deluxe?
- Cooking habits: Are you an everyday batch-cooker and baker, or more of a stir-fry and grilling fan?
If you want a professional, contemporary look with all-electric convenience, the stainless steel Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL110EISS/C is a strong contender. If the same concept but in a warmer tone appeals, the cranberry Professional Deluxe induction range brings more colour into the room.
For those sold on dual fuel, the cream Elise, cherry red Elise and white Elise provide the same footprint with a slightly different aesthetic, and the feel of traditional gas burners on top.
Next steps
Investing in a 110cm range cooker is a big decision, but it’s also one of the most rewarding upgrades you can make if you enjoy cooking and entertaining.
