Mercury Cooking is made up of range cookers, available from AGA. They are large freestanding cookers for keen cooks with space for a 100 cm, 110 cm or 120 cm cooker. Every model has two ovens, a separate grill, a soft-close storage drawer and Hi-Fi style dials. The ranges are offered in several colours. You can see them all on our Mercury range cookers page.
The first choice is the hob. Dual fuel models pair five gas burners with electric ovens. They come with cast-iron pan supports and a wok cradle for very high-heat stir-frying. Induction models heat the pan directly, so they respond quickly. Their flat surface wipes clean easily, and hot hob indicators show when a zone is still warm. Induction draws far more power, though: up to 18.4 kW at most, compared with 7.4 kW for dual fuel. Have an electrician check your supply before you buy.
The ovens are much the same across the range. On the left is a 78-litre multifunction oven with seven functions. On the right is a fan oven, which is useful for batch baking or keeping dishes warm, and some models list its capacity at 81 litres. Each cooker also has a separate 2.3 kW dual-circuit grill, so you can grill and roast at the same time. The ovens are A-rated for energy.
To narrow it down, measure the space first, then choose gas or induction based on how you like to cook and what your electrics can handle. If you're planning the whole cooking area, take a look at our Mercury cooker hoods too.
