Mercury induction range cookers put a large induction hob together with two ovens and a separate grill. The sturdy, professional-style design suits keen cooks who have room for a statement cooker. They come in three widths, 100 cm, 110 cm and 120 cm, with a choice of colours, and all share the same basic layout.
Each one has a left-hand multifunction oven with seven functions, a 78-litre net capacity and an A energy rating, plus a second oven on the right. On the 100 cm and 120 cm models, the right-hand oven is a fanned oven. The separate dual-circuit grill can heat its full width or just half, which saves energy when you only need a couple of slices of toast. Heavy-duty stainless steel shelving, Hi-Fi style controls and a soft touch storage drawer complete the design. Hot hob indicators show when a zone is still warm after cooking.
Induction heats the pan rather than the glass, so it responds quickly and spills are less likely to burn on. You will need pans with a magnetic base. The total hob rating is 11.1 kW and the maximum electrical load is 18.4 kW, so check that your kitchen's electrical supply can handle that before you buy.
The ovens and grill are much the same across these cookers, so width is the main decision. Measure your space first, then choose the colour. The Mercury electric range cookers page shows these same induction models, while All Mercury Products covers the brand's full range.
