ESSE EL 13Amp Electric Range Cooker
The ESSE EL 13Amp is one of our more popular ESSE models we sell here at The Kitchen Range & Cookshop and for good reasons.
The EL 13Amp measurements are a plus for many people as it’s slightly smaller than other ESSE models which means it can be fitted into most sized kitchens. But don’t let this fool you, it packs an almighty punch! It has two large ovens (top oven 42ltr, bottom oven 30ltr), integral full width grill, cast iron hotplate, induction zone and plate warmer.
Both ovens have ‘wrap around’ elements which heat from all sides and you can even place your cooking tray directly on the oven floor to give you even more space to create your masterpiece. There is a useful ‘slumber control’ feature that keeps a minimum amount of heat generating at all times, so when you turn the oven on it reaches the desired temperature much quicker. But don’t worry, this doesn’t mean it’s an expensive stove to run – in slumber mode the EL will use 2/3 or 0.66Kw/h. It requires just two 13Amp plug sockets and doesn’t need a flue or external vents, it can therefore be positioned virtually anywhere you like.
Not only is the ESSE EL 13Amp a joy to cook with it’s good looking too. As always ESSE has combined the perfect mix of keeping the classic look we all love with modern technology to produce one of the cleanest-burning and most efficient appliances available.

ESSE Ironheart – The Wood Fired Stove
We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the ESSE Ironheart display model here at The Kitchen Range & Cook Shop. Not only is the ESSE Ironheart good looking, it’s multi-functional and will be make a great addition to your home.Â
What exactly is the ESSE Ironheart, you ask? Well, it’s a wood burner, stove and cooking range all in one beautiful package! It has a powerful 9.7kw heat output and with it’s large oven and expansive hob there is ample room to create your culinary masterpieces with ease.Â
How to cook using the ESSE Ironheart
There are three main ways to cook on the ESSE Ironheart. Let’s start with the hob, which gives you the option of either cooking directly on the cast iron hotplates to sear, chargrill and toast, or you can use pans and griddles to boil and simmer. The hotplate will comfortably fit up to six pans.
Next, you can cook over the embers in the wood burner for that flame grilled taste thanks to shelved firebricks and a rack for cooking on. We’re thinking perfectly cooked steaks with the classic restaurant chargrill marks, jacket potatoes and grilled asparagus sounds like a plan for dinner!
Finally, you can roast the roast of all roasts in the oven. The heat generated from the wood burner is transferred to the oven and allows you to cook at low temperatures all the way up to 260°c. With variable shelf positions and the ability to cook directly on the oven floor, there is plenty of room (47-litre capacity to be exact) for side dishes too.
ESSE BakeheartÂ
Perhaps you’re looking for something a little smaller, if so, the ESSE Bakeheart could be the one for you. It offers the same great features as the ESSE Ironheart – hob cooking, wood fired grilling, oven (32-litres) – but taking up a little less space, it’s a versatile piece of equipment that fits in to the cosiest of kitchens. Â
We can’t wait for the ESSE Ironheart and Bakeheart to arrive (and for Covid-19/lockdown to be over!) so we can do some cooking demos and show you in person all of the great features. We’re the official ESSE dealer for many areas in Suffolk and Norfolk including Framlingham, Wickham Market, Saxmundham and beyond, and are here to answer any questions you may have. When you’re ready to purchase your new stove we take care of the order from beginning to end, including delivery and installation.Â
