Gas Cooker

A gas cooker is a freestanding or built-in appliance that combines a gas hob (cooktop) and a gas oven. It operates by igniting gas through burners to produce a flame, allowing for immediate and adjustable heat. Gas cookers are valued for their traditional cooking feel, cost-effectiveness, and suitability for a wide range of culinary techniques — from simmering to searing.
