Cookers
Buying a new cooker is easy with comet. They have a really good range of cookers to chose from, whether you want as or electric or dual fuel.
Ask yourself some basic questions - do you know what sort of fuel you
want (Gas cooker, electric cooker or one which uses both?)
Do you know how much space you have for a cooker? You could either measure
your existing cooker as a guide or measure the space you have for a cooker.
What accessories do you want with your cooker - do you want a oven separate from the grill, do you want a cooker hood?

When choosing a new cooker there are many different choices to make including fuel type, width, and even the number of ovens.
There is also a variety of different styles and colours to consider
- from professional stainless steel to fashionable metallic silver, or
traditional colours. Some of these decisions will be easy to make as
it will depend on the size and style of your kitchen, and whether you
have access to gas or a 30amp electricity supply.
(If you are moving home double check what options you have at your new
home - we know someone who bought a brand new gas oven for their new
flat only to find they didn't have any gas!)
Also remember you will need to measure how much space you have for the
cooker.
Built-in
Built in cookers are 'built-in' to your kitchen units, the hob and oven are separate from each other. Built-in ovens come in two sizes - single oven or double oven.
There is a third type of oven known as 'built-under'. These are designed to be built into the units under the counter, and have the benefit of two ovens while still fitting beneath the worktop.
Freestanding
Freestanding cookers stand on their own or slot into a gap between your kitchen units.
They come in 50cm, 55cm or 60cm widths, and sometimes have a "high level grill" which means that the grill is separate to the oven, and is at eye level.
Your choice of cooker will be determined by your fuel supply. If you have gas, you could also consider dual fuel, which combines the speed of an electric oven with gas hob.
Gas Cookers
With a gas only cooker, the oven, grill and hob are fuelled by gas. It gives
instant heat, maximum control and you will find that certain foods such as
meat and poultry will not 'dry out' as they sometimes do in an electric oven
as the atmosphere in a gas oven is more moist.
A dual fuel cooker gives you instant heat and control from the gas hob and faster cooking pre-heat times of an electric oven.
Electric Cookers
With an electric only cooker, oven grill and hob run on electric. Fan assisted ovens in most of todays models do not require pre-heating. Electric ovens also cook quicker and more evenly than the gas alternative.Oven type
There are several types to choose from - conventional, fan or multi function? Combined oven and grill or separate grill?
Features
Features such as electronic controls and self cleaning are available on some
ovens.

Single or double oven? Which size is right for you?
There are several types to choose from, gas or electric hob? Ceramic or standard?

Size

Most built-in ovens and hobs are available with matching hoods designed to take away the smells of cooking and help keep your kitchen clean at the same time.
Splashbacks
A splashback is a separate plate of metal that is designed to fit in between the hob and the cooker hood.They are available in stainless steel or black, and offer a stylish finish to your cooker.
Please note that, unless stated otherwise, the hobs and ovens on our site
do not come with hoods or back plates but they are available separately or
in some of our packages.
