A Smeg range cooker puts a generous oven and hob together in one wide freestanding unit. It suits kitchens with space for a centrepiece and cooks who often have several dishes on the go. The design here comes from Smeg's Portofino line, which takes its bold colours from the Italian Riviera. It is a dual fuel cooker with two oven cavities and a mixed fuel hob. Dual fuel gives you the quick, visible control of gas on the hob and the steady, even heat of an electric oven.

Before you buy, measure the space carefully and check that you have both a gas supply and a suitable electrical connection. You can find this type under Smeg dual fuel range cookers, or browse all Smeg products.
