The Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP110NGFSS/C is a 110cm-wide gas range cooker aimed at cooks who want traditional gas control with masses of space. With two full-size gas ovens, a separate gas grill and a six-burner hob, it’s designed to handle everything from midweek dinners to Christmas lunch without breaking a sweat.
Rangemaster sits firmly in the premium end of the range cooker market, and the stainless steel Professional Plus line is one of its flagship families. This model’s A+/A+ energy ratings, generous capacities and pro-style design reflect that positioning.
Owners clearly rate it highly: it holds an impressive 4.8 out of 5 from 179 reviews, suggesting that day-to-day reliability and cooking performance live up to the specification.
This Rangemaster is ideal for larger households and keen home cooks who use their oven and hob heavily. With two huge 86-litre gas ovens plus a separate grill, it’s perfectly suited to family roasts, batch cooking and entertaining, where you want several dishes on the go at once.
It’s a premium 110cm range, so it’s best matched to bigger kitchens with enough wall space and ventilation clearance for a full-width cooker and hood. If you’re replacing an older 90cm or 110cm range, or planning a new kitchen with a feature appliance, it will feel right at home.
The fully gas setup will particularly appeal if you prefer the responsiveness of gas for both hob and oven, or live in an area where gas is more economical than electricity. It’s LPG convertible too (with an additional kit), making it a solid choice for rural homes on bottled gas.
If you’re on a tight budget or cooking for one or two in a compact flat, this will be more cooker than you realistically need. But for serious home chefs who value capacity, traditional gas cooking and robust build, it’s a very strong candidate.
The standout strength here is capacity. Having two full-sized 86-litre gas ovens means you can roast meat in one and bake trays of potatoes, veg or desserts in the other without juggling shelves or timings. It’s a luxury that makes big family gatherings and batch cooking dramatically easier.
The six-burner gas hob, complete with cast iron pan supports and a high-output wok burner, gives you proper flexibility on the top. You can have multiple pans simmering while stir-frying or boiling pasta, all with instant flame control that gas enthusiasts love.
Cleaning is well thought out for such a large cooker. Both main ovens use catalytic liners on the sides to absorb and break down grease during normal cooking, while other areas are finished in easy-clean enamel. You still need the occasional wipe, but it cuts down on heavy scrubbing.
There are also lots of practical touches that make everyday use smoother: automatic ignition on the burners, an electronic clock and minute minder, telescopic shelf runners, a Handyrack for easier roasting, and a smooth glide-out gas grill. Safety is boosted too with flame failure devices and triple-glazed doors helping to keep heat in the ovens.
This is a premium, feature-rich 110cm range, so the price will be high compared with standard cookers and even some smaller ranges. You’re paying for capacity and build, so if you won’t use the extra ovens and burners regularly, it may feel like overkill.
Both main cavities are conventional gas ovens rather than fan-assisted. That’s great for traditional roasting, but it does mean you’ll see hotter zones at the top and cooler areas lower down, and you may need to rotate trays for perfectly even baking.
Despite the generous spec, there are a few omissions some buyers might miss: no dedicated defrost function, no control panel lock, and no interior light in the second oven or grill cavity. Given the size of the appliance, a light in every cavity would have been welcome.
Finally, installation isn’t a DIY job. It needs a Gas Safe engineer for the gas connection and an electrician to attach the plug or cable, and a hose is not included. That adds to the overall cost and planning required.
Living with the Professional Plus PROP110NGFSS/C feels reassuringly straightforward once it’s in place. Rotary controls and an LED clock/timer keep everything familiar, so you’re not battling touchscreens or complex menus – just set the flame, set the timer and cook.
In the ovens, conventional gas heat rises, so you quickly learn where to place dishes for best results: crispy roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings towards the top, slower roasts and bakes on lower shelves. The Handyrack attached to the main oven door makes basting joints much less of a juggling act, as you can pull the meat out with the door instead of wrestling with hot trays.
On the hob, the cast iron pan supports feel sturdy and stable, with room to shuffle pans around. The wok burner offers a powerful flame for fast stir-fries and searing. Automatic ignition makes firing up each burner a one-handed operation, which is handy when you’re holding a pan or stirring a sauce.
Cleaning is less daunting than the size suggests. The catalytic liners in the two main ovens help deal with splashes and spatters as you cook, and the enamelled interiors and hob surface wipe down fairly easily. You still need to keep on top of routine maintenance, but it’s noticeably easier than a large cooker with plain steel cavities.
Performance is built around those two large 86-litre gas ovens. Conventional gas cooking gives you moist, flavourful roasts and bakes with a more traditional feel than many fan ovens. Both cavities carry an A+ energy rating and relatively low energy consumption per cycle for their size, so you’re not wasting energy just to get the space.
The separate 25-litre variable gas grill in the top left cavity is a real asset for everyday meals. Because it’s a dedicated grill, you can toast, brown or finish dishes without disturbing what’s happening in the main ovens, and the glide-out design makes it easier to check progress without burning your hands.
Up top, the six-burner gas hob covers a sensible spread of burner sizes, from gentler 1kW zones for simmering sauces to more powerful burners up to 4kW for rapid boiling. The cast iron supports and optional griddle give it a professional look and feel, and the inclusion of a dedicated wok burner means high-heat cooking is properly catered for.
In terms of convenience, the features list is dense. Automatic safety shut-off, flame failure devices and triple-glazed doors all work behind the scenes to keep things safer and more efficient. Telescopic shelf runners make it easier to pull heavy trays out to check cooking, while the Handyrack and easy-clean interior finishes show that Rangemaster has thought about everyday usability as much as headline specs.
If you’re coming from a very modern fan oven with lots of auto programmes, you won’t find that sort of smart functionality here. This is a more traditional, manually controlled cooker with reliable basics done well, rather than an app-connected or feature-gimmicky appliance.
As a 110cm stainless steel gas range from a well-known British brand, the Professional Plus PROP110NGFSS/C sits in the premium bracket of gas range cookers. You’re not buying it to save money over a standard cooker; you’re investing in capacity, build quality and a proven design.
Looked at against that brief, it justifies its positioning. Two genuinely large ovens, a separate grill, a six-burner hob with wok burner, catalytic liners, telescopic shelves and thoughtful extras like the Handyrack all add up to a feature set that rivals many similarly priced ranges.
The excellent owner feedback – 4.8 out of 5 from 179 reviews – strongly suggests that buyers feel they’ve had good value over time in terms of reliability and performance. If your budget allows and you’ll make regular use of the space and flexibility, it represents solid long-term value. If you rarely cook big meals, a smaller and cheaper cooker would almost certainly make more financial sense.
The Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP110NGFSS/C is a highly capable, traditionally fuelled range cooker that’s clearly designed for people who really cook. Its twin 86-litre gas ovens, separate grill and six-burner hob give you serious flexibility and capacity, while practical touches like catalytic liners, telescopic shelves and the Handyrack help keep it manageable day to day.
It isn’t the most high-tech or feature-laden model in terms of smart functions, and the lack of fan assistance or lights in all cavities will put off some buyers. The upfront price and professional installation requirements also mean it’s not the obvious choice for smaller homes or occasional cooks.
For busy family kitchens, enthusiastic home chefs and anyone who wants a robust, gas-focused centrepiece for a larger kitchen, though, it’s an excellent option that has clearly impressed a lot of owners – and is likely to keep doing so for many years.
