This will NOT excite you

Let's face it, nobody buys a range cooker for the hotplate...

You get excited about the enamel colour, the size, the oven layout, the fact it makes your kitchen look like it belongs in a lifestyle magazine…

But never the hotplate.

And why would you? It’s hardly the most glamorous part of a range cooker.

It doesn’t look impressive. There’s no fan, touchscreen or any flashing lights. It just sits there, solid and warm, minding its own business.

But that’s kind of the magic of it…

You see, once they’ve lived with it, customers often give me their feedback and tell me it’s the hotplate that surprised them – they use it more than anything.

It’s always on. Always warm. Always useful.

You start putting the kettle on without thinking. Toasting bread. Simmering soup. Crisping up a crumpet.

It’s reliable, comforting, and ready whenever you are.

Everhot, ESSE, and Rayburn all build theirs from thick cast iron, so they hold heat beautifully. And unlike an induction hob, these are simple, solid, and satisfying to use.

If you’ve never tried one, swing by the showroom. I’ve always got a few cookers on that you’re welcome to try – the hotplates are warm, the kettle’s ready, and if I’ve planned ahead, there might even be a toasted crumpet in it for you!

Warm regards,
