If you love to cook, few upgrades feel as transformative as installing a wide range cooker. The Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP110NGFSS/C 110cm Gas Range Cooker in stainless steel is a popular choice for UK home cooks who want restaurant-style capacity in a smart, modern finish. In this guide we’ll use it as a reference point to walk through what to consider when choosing a large gas or dual fuel range cooker, plus a few closely related alternatives if you’re still deciding on fuel type or style.
Why a 110cm gas range cooker suits serious home cooks
A 110cm range cooker gives you room to spread out. The Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP110NGFSS/C combines generous oven space with a wide gas hob, making it well suited to households that cook from scratch most days, batch cook at weekends or entertain regularly.
What sets a 110cm model apart from a standard 60cm cooker is not just width, but flexibility. You typically get multiple oven cavities, a separate grill and more burners, so you can:
- Roast meat in one oven while baking a pudding at a different temperature in the other
- Keep side dishes warm without overcooking them
- Boil, simmer and fry on the hob at the same time without juggling pans
The Professional Plus gas range is designed for exactly this kind of multi-tasking. If you want the detail of its layout, oven capacities and hob configuration, you can read our full review of the Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP110NGFSS/C once you’ve got a feel for what you need.
Gas, dual fuel or induction: deciding on the right fuel type
Before fixating on any one model, it helps to decide whether gas, dual fuel or induction is right for you. The PROP110NGFSS/C is an all-gas range cooker, which appeals to those who like the immediacy and visual feedback of a flame.
However, there are compelling alternatives if you want the precision of electric ovens or the speed and efficiency of induction:
- Dual fuel options give you an electric oven for even baking and roasting, with a gas hob on top for pan work.
- Full electric with induction hobs offer rapid heat-up, very fine temperature control and easy-clean glass surfaces.
If you like the professional look of the PROP110NGFSS/C but fancy dual fuel, the Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL110DFFSL/C 110cm Dual Fuel Range Cooker is a natural step sideways. It keeps the wide footprint and gas hob feel, while switching to electric ovens for keen bakers and pastry fans.
Prefer to move away from gas hobs entirely? Electric induction ranges such as the Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP100EICY/C 100cm Electric Range Cooker with Induction Hob or the black-finished Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP100EIGB/C 100cm Electric Range Cooker with Induction Hob offer similar styling in a slightly narrower 100cm width with ultra-responsive, flat-glass hobs.
Measuring up: will a 110cm cooker fit your kitchen?
A 110cm range cooker is a statement appliance, so accurate measuring is vital. Start with the obvious – width, depth and height – but also think about how you move around the kitchen.
- Width: You’ll need at least 110cm of clear space, ideally with a small margin for ease of installation and to sit between cabinets.
- Depth: Check the depth against your existing worktops and ensure the cooker won’t protrude awkwardly into walking space.
- Height: Make sure it lines up reasonably with your counters, especially if you plan to run a continuous worktop.
Also remember door swing and clearance for oven handles. A large range like the PROP110NGFSS/C looks its best when it has breathing space, not wedged into a tight alcove. If your kitchen is a little narrower, a 100cm version such as the Professional Plus induction models can offer a better balance of presence and practicality.
Layout and capacity: choosing the right oven configuration
Once you know a wide range will fit, think about how you cook. The Professional Plus PROP110NGFSS/C, like most 110cm models, offers multiple ovens and a separate grill, giving lots of options for simultaneous dishes.
Ask yourself:
- Do you regularly cook big roasts? A tall fanned oven can be ideal for batch roasting veg, while a wider cavity handles large joints or baking trays.
- Do you bake often? Electric ovens are typically more consistent at low and moderate temperatures, which is why many serious home bakers gravitate towards dual fuel models.
- Do you need a dedicated grill? A separate grill cavity is great for quick snacks, cheese on toast and finishing off dishes without disturbing what’s in the oven.
If you lean towards traditional styling with similar versatility, but prefer the look of more classic trims and colours, the Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110DFFRP/B 110cm Dual Fuel Range Cooker is worth exploring. It offers a comparable footprint with a more heritage appearance and dual fuel configuration.
Hob space and burner style: getting the right cooking surface
The hob is where you’ll feel the character of a range cooker every day. On a gas range like the PROP110NGFSS/C, the extra width usually gives you a generous run of burners and sturdy pan supports, so you can keep multiple large pans on the go without fighting for space.
When comparing models, pay attention to:
- Number and mix of burners or zones: A good spread of sizes helps you simmer, boil and sear effectively.
- Wok or high-power burner options: Ideal for stir-fries and fast searing.
- Layout of the pan supports or induction zones: Check that your favourite pans will sit securely without feeling cramped.
If you do a lot of high-heat pan work and love to see a flame, the PROP110NGFSS/C’s gas hob style will likely suit you well. If, however, you value a flat, easy-wipe surface, precise low-heat control and reduced residual heat in the kitchen, an induction top as found on the PROP100EICY/C or PROP100EIGB/C can be very appealing.
Style and finish: modern stainless steel vs classic looks
Because a 110cm range cooker becomes a focal point, finish matters almost as much as function. The Professional Plus PROP110NGFSS/C in stainless steel leans into a professional, contemporary aesthetic that suits modern and industrial-style kitchens.
Ask yourself:
- Do you want a modern or classic look? Sleek stainless fronts and straight lines look very different to bevelled doors and traditional knobs.
- How will it sit with other appliances? Stainless steel is easy to pair with existing fridges and dishwashers, while coloured enamel makes more of a statement.
- Will fingerprints bother you? Stainless can show marks, though regular quick wipes keep it smart.
For a more traditional twist with the benefits of dual fuel, the Classic Deluxe CDL110DFFRP/B offers softer lines, statement colour options and heritage detailing. On the other hand, if you like bold colour in a more contemporary package, the cranberry Professional Plus PROP100EICY/C brings a punch of red while staying firmly in the modern camp.
Energy use and everyday running costs
With a large appliance, it pays to think beyond the purchase price to how it will run over years of use. The PROP110NGFSS/C is rated A+/A+ on its ovens, which is reassuring for such a sizeable cooker and helps keep gas consumption in check when you’re using it frequently.
Whatever model you choose, a few habits will help keep bills in line:
- Use the smaller oven for everyday meals and save both ovens for bigger gatherings.
- Avoid over-long preheats; modern ovens reach temperature faster than older ones.
- Batch cook to make better use of full oven loads.
- On induction models, match pan size to the zone to avoid wasted energy.
If you’re deciding between gas and electric, bear in mind local energy prices and that induction is typically very efficient for hob cooking. It can also help keep your kitchen cooler in summer, as less heat escapes around the pans.
Installation, gas safety and ventilation
For any gas range, including the PROP110NGFSS/C, safe installation is non-negotiable. In the UK, that means a Gas Safe registered engineer must connect it, check for leaks and sign off the work. You should also consider whether your existing gas supply and electrics (for ignition, lights, timers and fans) are positioned and rated correctly.
Ventilation is another key consideration. A powerful cooker can produce a lot of steam and odours, so pair it with an appropriately sized extractor hood or ventilation system. Ideally, choose a hood at least as wide as the cooker and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on extraction rates and minimum distances.
Cleaning and maintenance: keeping a big range under control
One concern with any large cooker is how long it will take to clean. The good news is that modern ranges, including the Professional Plus, are designed with easier cleaning in mind, from enamel interiors to removable pan supports and glass doors.
Some simple habits help keep maintenance manageable:
- Wipe up spills once surfaces have cooled, rather than leaving them to bake on.
- Soak pan supports and shelves in warm soapy water instead of scrubbing dry.
- Use a soft cloth and suitable cleaner on stainless steel to avoid scratching.
- Check door seals periodically and wipe crumbs or grease from the edges.
Induction hobs, as found on the 100cm Professional Plus electric models, are generally the quickest to clean because they’re flat glass. If low-maintenance cleaning is high on your priority list, it may be worth considering induction even if you’re used to gas.
Comparing closely related alternatives
Once you know you want a wide range cooker with a professional feel, you’ll find several closely related options at similar price points. Here’s how some of the key alternatives stack up in broad terms:
- Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP110NGFSS/C – 110cm wide gas range cooker in stainless steel with highly rated performance (4.8 from around 700 reviews). Suits gas enthusiasts wanting a pro-style centerpiece.
- Professional Deluxe PDL110DFFSL/C – 110cm dual fuel with gas hob. A good option if you value electric ovens for baking but don’t want to lose the feel of a gas hob.
- Classic Deluxe CDL110DFFRP/B – 110cm dual fuel with more traditional styling and colour trims. Ideal if you’re creating a classic or country kitchen look.
- Professional Plus PROP100EICY/C – 100cm electric with induction hob in cranberry. Slightly narrower footprint with the benefits of induction and a bold colour finish.
- Professional Plus PROP100EIGB/C – 100cm electric with induction hob in black. A sleek, modern choice where you want a dark, minimalist statement.
If you’re still juggling these options, it can help to think: gas vs dual fuel vs induction first, then width (110cm vs 100cm), then styling and finish. That approach narrows things quickly to the models most likely to suit how you actually cook and live.
