A gas cooker combines a gas hob, oven and usually a grill in one freestanding appliance. It suits cooks who like visible flame control and homes with a suitable gas supply. Measure the kitchen gap carefully, then compare the number and size of burners, oven capacity, cavity layout and whether the grill is separate. Check that pan supports feel stable and that the controls are comfortable to reach.
Modern models may also need electricity for ignition, lights or timers. Gas cookers must be installed and safety-checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Before ordering, confirm the connection position, ventilation requirements and any electrical supply, and make sure delivery access is wide enough for the appliance.
Width and access
Measure the cooker gap, nearby clearances and the delivery route through doors, halls and turns.
Burner layout
Look at burner sizes, spacing and pan supports if you cook with several large pans.
Oven and grill
Check whether the grill is separate and how much usable shelf space each cavity provides.

Key questions
Can I replace my gas cooker with any gas model?
Not without checking. Match the width, depth, ventilation, connection position and required clearances, even when the nominal size is the same.
Who can install a gas cooker?
A Gas Safe registered engineer must connect and commission it. They will follow the appliance instructions and complete the required safety checks.
Does a gas cooker need electricity?
Many do for ignition, lighting, timers or safety features. Check the product specification and make sure the stated connection is available.
What is a flame-failure device?
It is a safety feature designed to stop the gas supply if the flame goes out. Check the model specification for its fitted safety systems.
Should I choose a gas or dual-fuel cooker?
Choose gas if you prefer gas for both hob and oven. Dual fuel keeps the gas hob but uses an electric oven, which may suit frequent baking and roasting.
