An electric cooker with minimal energy waste at point of use has to be a good idea, as approximately two-thirds of the fuel burned to generate electricity is lost in generation and delivery to your home. To put it another way the electric system in the UK is itself approximately only 33% efficient. Why use more than you need in your home ?
The Electric ESSE features a unique ceramic glass hotplate that has two sets of concentrically expanding elements.
Each can be set to the required coverage and regulated to the desired temperature setting, enabling you to boil up to six pans or gently simmer just one small one. Maximum temperature is available in just four seconds so pans and hotplate kettles very quickly reach boiling point.
Both the EC2i and EC feature two generous sized ovens, individually heated and independently controlled. The main oven also houses a powerful grill providing even greater cooking flexibility.
Ovens are finished in easy clean vitreous enamel and a plate warming cavity completes the cooker.
