The Leisure Chefmaster CC100F521K is a 100cm dual fuel range cooker that combines a gas hob with multiple electric ovens, aimed squarely at busy family kitchens and enthusiastic home cooks. Finished in black with a traditional look, it’s designed to be the centrepiece of a larger kitchen.
With four cavities, six gas burners and an A/A/A energy rating across the ovens, it promises serious flexibility for roasts, batch cooking and midweek meals alike. The main fan oven, conventional oven, dedicated grill and slow cook oven give you a lot more than a standard cooker can manage.
A strong 4.6 out of 5 score from well over a thousand owner reviews suggests this model is tried, tested and generally well loved, which is reassuring if you’re committing to a sizeable range cooker.
The Chefmaster CC100F521K is ideal for families, keen home bakers and anyone who regularly cooks for a crowd. The 100cm width and four separate cavities mean you can easily juggle a main roast, sides, puddings and a starter, all at different temperatures.
It suits households that like the responsiveness of gas on the hob but want the even, reliable results of electric ovens. With a dedicated wok burner and six burners in total, it’s a good match if you cook a mix of everyday meals, stir-fries and larger weekend feasts.
This isn’t a budget cooker; it sits more towards the mid to upper end of the market for freestanding cookers, so it makes most sense if you’ll genuinely use the extra space and flexibility. If you’re upgrading from a standard 60cm cooker and you enjoy cooking, it’s a particularly appealing step up.
It’s less suited to very compact kitchens or those who rarely cook more than one dish at a time. You’ll also need to be comfortable arranging professional installation, as it requires both a Gas Safe engineer and an electrician for hard wiring.
Four separate cavities – a fan oven, a large conventional oven, a variable electric grill and a dedicated slow cook oven – give you excellent flexibility for everything from Sunday roasts to low-and-slow stews.
The main fan oven uses True Fan Cooking to circulate heat evenly, helping bakes, trays of biscuits and multi-shelf roasts to cook more uniformly with fewer hot or cold spots.
Six gas burners including a powerful wok burner make the hob genuinely spacious. The cast iron pan supports feel sturdy and give a stable base for heavy pans and large woks.
Catalytic stay-clean liners in the two main ovens help to absorb grease splatters during cooking, so routine cleaning is quicker and less of a chore.
A telescopic shelf that glides out smoothly makes it easier and safer to check on dishes or lift heavy trays, particularly handy when you’re juggling multiple courses.
The ovens are all A rated for energy efficiency, which is reassuring if you do a lot of cooking or batch baking.
The price sits above what you’d pay for a standard 60cm cooker, so if you rarely need the extra capacity, it may feel like more cooker than you truly use.
Despite the generous spec, the warranty is only 1 year for domestic use, which is fairly minimal for a major appliance at this level.
There’s no child lock on the control panel, and with lots of knobs and buttons, households with young children may need to be particularly careful.
The catalytic liners only cover the sides of the main and second ovens; you’ll still need to manually clean the base, back and shelves.
It must be hard wired by an electrician and installed by a Gas Safe engineer, and there’s no gas hose or LPG conversion kit included, so installation costs can add up.
Day to day, the Chefmaster CC100F521K feels like a proper range rather than a dressed-up standard cooker. The six-burner gas hob gives you space to spread out, with a good mix of burner sizes ranging from simmer-friendly to a strong wok burner for fast stir-fries. Cast iron pan supports help pans glide between burners without tipping.
The main fan oven and the larger conventional oven below are where you’ll spend most of your time. The dials and LED timer are straightforward, so setting temperatures and timings quickly becomes second nature. The telescopic shelf in the main oven is particularly helpful when lifting heavy dishes, like casseroles or big roasting joints.
Up top, the separate grill cavity means you can grill bacon or cheese on toast without tying up an oven, and the slow cook oven is excellent for stews, pulled pork and cheaper cuts of meat left to gently bubble away during the day.
Cleaning is less painful than with older ranges, thanks to stay-clean liners on the sides of the two main ovens which burn off and absorb grease as you cook. You’ll still need to wipe the enamel interiors and glass, but the worst of the splatter doesn’t cling as stubbornly.
Because it’s a 100cm range, you’ll need enough wall space and a suitable cooker hood with at least 75cm clearance above the hob. Once installed, it feels solid and planted, like a permanent feature of the kitchen.
Performance starts with the dual fuel setup: a 9600W electric oven bank paired with a gas hob. The fan-assisted main oven offers 63 litres of space, ideal for multi-shelf baking and larger roasting tins. True Fan Cooking helps maintain even heat from top to bottom, giving more consistent results across trays.
The second, 65-litre conventional oven gives you top-and-bottom element heating, perfect for traditional baking where you might want a slightly crisper top or more gentle heat. Running both big ovens together makes light work of big family gatherings or batch cooking sessions.
The third cavity is a variable electric grill at the top left. Being able to grill with the door open and having a dedicated space for it means you can brown dishes or toast quickly without disturbing anything in the ovens below. Opposite, the fourth cavity is a 33-litre slow cook oven, tailored for low-temperature cooking that transforms cheaper cuts into tender, flavourful meals.
On the hob, six gas zones with a 1–4kW power range cover everything from delicate sauces to intense searing. The dedicated wok burner delivers a strong flame spread, making it easier to achieve proper stir-fry heat compared to standard burners.
Convenience-wise, you get automatic ignition, an electronic programmable timer, interior lights in the main and second ovens, and removable inner door glass for easier cleaning. Safety is supported by a flame failure device on the hob, which cuts the gas if a flame goes out. Combined with the A/A/A energy ratings for the three ovens, the feature set is well rounded for a family range cooker.
At its current price, the Chefmaster CC100F521K sits in the mid to upper range for freestanding cookers, but for a 100cm dual fuel range with four cavities it represents solid value. You’re paying for capacity and flexibility rather than flashy smart features, and in that respect it delivers.
The combination of a large fan oven, a full-size conventional oven, dedicated grill and slow cook oven is typically only found on more substantial ranges. Add in the six-burner gas hob with wok burner, cast iron supports and catalytic liners, and the spec sheet stacks up well against similarly sized alternatives.
A 4.6/5 rating from over 1,600 reviews strongly suggests owners feel they’ve had their money’s worth, particularly in terms of reliability and day-to-day performance. The only mark against it on value is the short 1-year warranty and the need to budget for professional gas and electrical installation.
If you simply need a basic cooker for a small flat, this will be more than you need. But if you’re upgrading a family kitchen or you cook a lot, the versatility and space on offer make the price easier to justify.
The Leisure Chefmaster CC100F521K is a well thought-out 100cm dual fuel range cooker that prioritises cooking space, flexibility and straightforward controls over gimmicks. The combination of a powerful, even-heating fan oven, a big conventional oven, a dedicated grill and a slow cook oven makes it genuinely versatile for families and keen home cooks.
It’s not the cheapest way to put an oven in your kitchen, and the 1-year warranty is shorter than we’d like for an appliance at this price. You also need to factor in professional installation and have the space to accommodate its 100cm width.
For households that love to cook, bake and entertain, though, it’s a strong choice. High owner ratings, practical design touches like the telescopic shelf and catalytic liners, and the responsive gas hob with wok burner all add up to a range cooker that feels built for real-world use rather than just showroom appeal.
