Do I need a Standing Cooker?
Having a standing cooker comes with amazing advantages such as :
- They are free-standing and perfectly fitted in kitchen spaces, so you will not need to put them on a table. This also helps one avoid a lot of back pain.
- You need not buy an oven separately, for they come with an inbuilt oven that has accessories such as a rotisserie, baking tray, grill, etc.
- Unlike inbuilt cookers, standing cookers are flexible, hence you can place them anywhere in the kitchen, and can also shift them, for example, when you do renovation and/or remodelling work.
- Most standing cookers are safer in use compared to other traditional cookers, mainly because they have systems that prevent gas leakage.
- They have an excellent aesthetic design that will modernize your kitchen.
- Most standing cookers have a stainless steel cooktop that prevents corrosion.
Factors to Consider Before Buying a Standing Cooker
- Space –The space in your kitchen determines what size of cooker you are going to purchase. If you have less space you must opt for a 50 by 50 cm or 55 by 55 cm standing cooker that usually has 4 burners.
- Purpose of use: This is another big factor that most people put into consideration. For example, if you need a cooker for your small restaurant/ bakery shop, you would need a cooker with a large oven for easy baking.
- Budget: This is the amount that you can afford to spend. This is important, as this will help you in narrowing down cookers within your budgets. Cookers with stainless steel cooktops tend to be highly priced than all other categories of cookers.
- Energy type: Electricity in Kenya is yet to be considered reliable in some areas. Therefore, if you live in such an area you will be able to choose between a gas only standing cooker or a gas and electric one.
