Belling Cookcentre 100EI 100cm Electric Range Cooker with 5-Zone Induction Hob - Stainless Steel

The Belling RCACOOK10EIS is a 100cm wide electric range cooker from the Cookcentre Collection. It has two ovens and a total cooking capacity of 194 litres 70 litres in each cavity with 64 and 60 litres usable respectively. The stainless steel finish gives it a clean modern look that works in most kitchens.

The hob is a 5-zone induction hob with touch controls and 9 power levels plus a booster. It heats the pan not the surface making it faster and safer than ceramic or gas. The main oven is a multi-function fanned electric oven with 4 plus 5 cooking functions including slow cook and air fry with a tray included. The second oven is a conventional electric oven with a grill.

Controls are electronic with an LED display and a programmable timer. Safety features include pan detection and pan overheat detection. The energy rating is A and both ovens have enamel linings for straightforward cleaning.

Belling backs this cooker with a 3-year parts and labour guarantee. Two ovens plus an air fry function plus Link+ technology that joins two induction zones for larger pans this is a well-specified 100cm cooker built to last.

This cooker is 996mm wide and needs a kitchen gap of at least 1000mm. It sits freestanding between units or in a range recess. The depth is 600mm which is standard for most kitchen runs. At 86.9kg it is a two-person lift and should not be dragged across flooring without protection. Check overhead clearance above the hob before installation.

The main oven holds 64 usable litres enough for a medium turkey or a large joint with roasting trays. The second 60-litre cavity can run simultaneously so you can roast meat in one and cook sides in the other. The 5-zone induction hob fits five pans at once and Link+ joins two zones for a large griddle pan or fish kettle. The air fry tray fits inside the oven so no worktop space is lost. Use the smaller cavity for everyday meals to save energy.

The 5-zone induction hob uses electromagnetic fields to heat the pan directly rather than the glass surface. This makes it faster to reach temperature and safer to touch around the edges. Nine power levels plus a booster give precise control. Link+ technology bridges two adjacent zones into one larger cooking area for oversized pans. The main oven uses a fan to circulate heat evenly across all shelf positions. Electronic controls with an LED display manage the programmable timer and oven functions. Both oven cavities are lined with enamel which retains heat and is straightforward to clean.

This cooker holds an A energy rating. Using the second 70-litre cavity rather than the main oven for smaller meals cuts the energy used per cook. The induction hob transfers heat directly to the pan so less energy is lost compared to ceramic or solid plate hobs. Fan-assisted oven modes also reduce cooking time and temperature needed.

This cooker needs a dedicated 240V electrical supply and must be fitted by a qualified electrician. The kitchen gap must be at least 1000mm wide to accommodate the 996mm body. Check the installation manual for side and overhead clearance requirements. The cooker weighs 86.9kg so two people are needed to move it into position.

Both ovens have enamel linings. Wipe them down with warm soapy water after each use and avoid abrasive pads that scratch the surface. The induction hob glass is flat and easy to wipe clean spills do not burn on as the surface stays relatively cool. Remove shelves and clean separately. Keeping the enamel in good condition protects the Belling guarantee.

The exterior is stainless steel. Both oven cavities are lined with enamel. The hob surface is flat induction glass. Oven doors include glass panels for visibility during cooking. The enamel lining is designed to retain heat and resist staining with regular wiping.
