Looking for a new cooking appliance, but not sure what's best for you and your kitchen? If you already have an existing appliance, then it's best to replace like-for-like to ensure you have the right fit.

If you are fitting out your first home or revamping your kitchen then we have plenty of choice to choose from. Ovens offer a streamlined look and are integrated to your kitchen cabinets.

It depends on what you have access to in your kitchen. If you go for a freestanding cooker, there’s a choice of electric, gas or even dual fuel. However, most built-in ovens tend to run on electricity.

When you’re choosing, you’ll need to make sure you have the right setup for installation. For electric ovens or cookers, you’ll need a big red cooker switch nearby, and you’ll need the area to be clear and safe. If you go for gas you’ll need to make sure you have a suitable supply in your kitchen and that there’s enough ventilation.

Let's face it, most of us hate cleaning at the best of times, especially when it comes to the oven. Auto-cleaning pyrolytic ovens do the hard work for you, heating your oven up safely to 500°C to burn away stains and splatters - all you'll need to do is wipe away the residue once it's done.

Both cookers and ovens also have assisted cleaning options, like catalytic liners which absorb dirt and grease as you cook. Spend less time cleaning and more time cooking.

This will depend on many factors. How many people are in your household? How often do you use your oven? If you like to batch cook or have a lot of mouths to feed, then you may want to invest in a larger cooking appliance such as a range cooker or perhaps a large capacity oven.

Whether you love baking bread and preparing signature dishes or simply want to take the hassle out of cooking, it's important to find the right oven to suit your needs. Multifunction ovens offer plenty of cooking options to help create the full menu.

Fancy yourself as a future star baker? Steam ovens make sure your bakes are soft on the inside with a perfect golden crust on the outside.

Gas hobs deliver heat quickly, so you'll be able to boil that pot of water in less time. Look out for some neat designs like gas on glass for easy cleaning and wok burners to help you create delicious stir fry meals.

Electric hobs are the easiest to clean, with a wide range to choose from including powerful induction hobs.

Induction hobs are quicker to heat up, easier to clean and safer to touch than other hobs. Using magnets to heat up the base of the pan they come into contact with, there is no heat wastage.

This means you can boil a pan of water much faster than with gas or ceramic hobs, so you can enjoy your meal sooner.
