Cookers or ovens are often used interchangeably. But, both appliances are not the same. But what\u2019s the difference between them? As both are used for cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, if you\u2019re looking for the difference between a cooker and an oven, then here\u2019s your quick answer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only difference between an oven and a cooker is that an oven doesn\u2019t have a hob or cooktop installed. You can only use it for grilling or baking.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While a cooker ranger has installed an oven underneath, with a cooktop on it. You can cook and bake simultaneously with it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But is it the only difference? Well, if you\u2019re planning to buy one. Then, there are some other factors that you should consider first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have done detailed research <\/strong>to guide you properly. So, sit back and read on to make the right decision.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. Cooking Method<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both kitchen appliances have their own perks. But, when it comes to cooking, freestanding gas range cookers<\/a><\/strong> are ideal for everyday use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Large ovens can be used only for baking. While on the contrary, you can cook, bake, and grill on cookers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Cooking Capacity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Built-in double ovens<\/a><\/strong> have extra-large cooking capacity. Even some units have two separate heating elements for baking several dishes at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

It actually depends on the size of your appliance. A standard oven has a five cubic feet capacity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no standard capacity for gas or electric cooks. As they vary in size. Mostly a 90cm electric range cooker<\/strong> has over 58-litre capacity.<\/p>\n<\/div>

But, most of the cooking capacity is mainly utilised by the cooktop or range hood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Energy Consumption<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gas cookers are cheaper to run. But, due to the current ongoing energy crisis, the running cost may soar soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same way, gas ovens are cheaper to run<\/a> as compared to mini or electric covens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
