Your Ultimate Guide to Freestanding Cookers

The freestanding cooker makes for the ideal luxurious addition to any kitchen renovation. It creates a more traditional cooking setup in the home as it’s built into the bench and has a stovetop above the oven to create an easy flowing cooking space that has all outlets in close proximity. Freestanding cookers are not only very aesthetically pleasing, they are also extremely easy to clean and repair as they aren’t built in which makes them far more accessible to yourself and contractors.

Freestanding cookers are very much an individual design feature too, as they don’t sit flush with your kitchen like an in-built oven. So if you’re after seamless integration in your kitchen renovation a freestanding cooker may not be ideal for your kitchen renovation. The typical 900mm freestanding cooker works fantastic for the majority of kitchens floor plans—and you’ll find it will never look too big or too small with the other fittings in your space. For larger kitchens the 1100mm cookers make for a fantastic feature that allows you to easily cater for the needs of a large family. Freestanding ovens have been a fundamental aspect of Australian kitchens since the 1990s, so their cooking capabilities and functionality need not be questioned.
