The genius behind the design of the Everhot range cookers is the use of a trickle feed of electricity, originally inspired by the power generated from the water turbine at Everhot headquarters, Coaley Mill. An Everhot therefore uses a fraction of the electricity of comparable range cookers.
The true test of a heat storage cooker’s efficiency is its power consumption when it is left on 24 hours a day, with the ovens and the cast iron plates turned on and providing warmth to the room. It is important when comparing different range cooker manufacturers to ask what their running costs will be when operated as a heat storage cooker. Many of other cooker range brands publish consumption data when running the ovens only, not the hot plate and simmer plates, which are often expressed as hourly figures. In order to make a direct comparison you’ll need to calculate the 24/7 leave-on costs of the hot plates and simmer plates on competitor models. In some cases this will double the published headline consumption figures of their models.
Whilst an Everhot heat storage range cooker is designed to remain switched on day and night, it has flexibility at the core of its design. The temperature of each cooking zone can be controlled individually, and Everhot uses the latest induction technology to offer year-round use. The timed, fully programmable, ECO mode further enhances the efficiency and flexibility of the cooker.
Everhot consumption figures are based on the recommended temperature settings which your Everhot will be set to when it arrives. These are 220 degrees for the top oven, 100 degrees for the bottom oven, 290 degrees for the hot plate and 200 degrees for the simmer plate. The ECO mode automatically drops the cooker into half temperatures overnight and saves around 20% of the power consumed by the cooker.
