Rayburn cookers are made from cast iron, and that's the secret of their unique cooking abilities. Whichever option suits your needs - natural gas, propane, kerosene oil or solid fuel - the heat generated is absorbed by Rayburn's cast iron structure, and transmitted through the oven walls and hotplate to provide a controlled, gentle heat that conventional cookers simply can't deliver.

All Rayburn cookers have a large main oven and grill, big enough to hold a 13kg/28lb turkey, a second smaller oven which operates at half the temperature of it's main counterpart and a hotplate with graduated temperature. There are two sizes of hot plate available, the 200 for up to four saucepans or the larger hotplate of the 300 and 400 models, which has room for up to five saucepans. You can even cook on the hotplate directly.

Stanley range cookers of today retain the same essential characteristics of range cookers as they have since 1850 - durability, reliability, and quality - now allied with new advanced technology in a series of designs created to fit any home and match any style of décor from traditional to ultramodern. A Stanley "moves in" with such ease, effortlessly settling into any surroundings to become your friend in the kitchen.

The traditional cast iron construction, found in every Stanley cooker, gives all round heat in the oven - ensuring beautifully cooked food. And depending on which model you choose, your Stanley can also provide the powerful source for your domestic hot water and central heating.
