The EL 13AMP

This stunning cooker's hotplate tells you the whole story.

A traditional cast iron hob, nestling up to an innovative induction zone. Yes, this really is a chance for passionate cooks to enjoy the "best of both".

Made, like every ESSE, by dedicated craftspeople here in Barnoldswick, Lancashire, the EL 13AMP looks and feels robustly timeless, with its two large ovens just waiting to welcome a ridiculously tasty hot-pot or that new sourdough bake you've been meaning to try.

Yet, at the same time, it's positively stuffed with advanced technology, for maximum energy-efficiency and "intuitive" ease-of-use - including our unique "power share" feature, which takes temperature control to a whole new level.

• Electric 13 amps heat storage cooker
• Top oven 42 ltr
• Bottom oven 30 ltr
• Integral full width grill

990 EL

Big brother to our EL13 AMP, this is the perfect choice for the larger kitchen, and for cooks who get their greatest satisfaction from feeding hungry hordes. Just like its smaller sibling, it offers the "best of both" - traditional cast iron solidity, combined with innovative electric flexibility. With three sizeable independently controlled ovens, and a full width integrated grill, this 100cm range cooker will never cramp your cooking style - whatever the recipe, however many you've invited.

The flat hob top is designed to unleash your creativity, too, with a cast iron hotplate for griddle cooking, as well as a large induction hob for instant boiling temperatures.

The controls for ovens and hobs are neatly housed behind the upper left door. And, of course, with no flue needed, your 990 EL can be positioned wherever you want, provided there's a 2 x 13amp power supply.

From melt-in-the-mouth meringues and slow-cooked stews to deliciously crispy roast potatoes, this cooker is a true all-rounder; an ESSE classic that's ready to plug in and get to work in your kitchen.

ESSE Plus 500

Electric Companion Hot Cupboard

A versatile left-hand-side companion to any of our beautifully crafted cast iron range cookers, this adds two valuable strings to any serious cook's bow: perfect slow-cooking, and simple but highly effective plate-warming.

The Plus 500 is beautifully simple. With its two capacious warming cupboards, which maintain a temperature that never wavers from 85-90°C, it couldn't be easier to keep everything at precisely the right temperature - no matter how many you're cooking for.

But we're not just talking about a versatile "supporting actor". The Plus 500 is perfectly capable of taking centre stage, enabling you to turn out mouth-watering slow-cooked dishes in your sleep. Or, for that matter, while you're at work.

Another lovely touch: the Plus 500 features an anodised black top, which can be heated, to keep your dishes warm immediately before serving.

As with all our electric cookers, plug-in-and-cook convenience comes as standard: all you need is a 13 amp socket.

• Standard 13Amp Source
• Only one plug socket required
• 400 watt element
• Temperatures reach 89-90°C
• Anodised black aluminium top
