Induction technology has been used in professional kitchens for many years, but is relatively new to the domestic scene. The first brand to introduce induction to range cooking was the always-innovative Stoves, who launched their Sterling 1100E model in 2007.

Although the first on the market, only four of the Sterling’s six cooking zones are induction-based and now the competition is catching up, with Falcon, Rangemaster and Bertazzoni’s new five induction-zone models, and now Britannia have entered the scene with six-zone induction models (available here imminently) ...

Single cavity range cookers offer luxuriously spacious cooking capacity, but there can be a price to pay when it comes to energy efficiency. Falcon have cleverly addressed this in the form of their new 900S model, which offers the advantages of a huge 106 cubic metre oven when the occasion arises, and the ability to divide this in two for everyday purposes.

In either guise, the oven is A-rated for energy efficiency, but a smaller space obviously heats up more quickly and operates more efficiently than a large one ... Read More...

Joining Cherry Red in Falcon’s fruit bowl of colour is Lime Green, an arresting shade soon to be seen in all the right places and set to be all the rage in homes throughout the UK. The new colour will be available on our website imminently, on Falcon’s range cooker products as well as the new Falcon SxS Refrigerator.

Positioned right in the middle of the colour spectrum, green doesn’t put any strain on the eye, which is why it is often considered a calming colour, and has strong associations with harmony, nature and balance. To add a zestier impact to the kitchen, whilst retaining the harmonising benefits of green, Falcon’s new finish has been pepped up with lime overtones, creating a young, vibrant lime green that is modern and spirited, and which will be available across their entire product range ...

Red is the colour attracting all the attention at the moment, and Falcon have responded to introducing a rich Cherry Red as a brighter alternative to sit alongside their existing deeper red, Cranberry, both on their range cooker products and the new Falcon SxS Refrigerator.

Rich, warm and compelling, red is believed to stimulate the appetite and provokes a physical reaction that lifts the spirit and stirs the senses. It is no coincidence that so many restaurants have vibrant red interiors, and its impact is just as arresting in the home. Seeking extra depth, Falcon have selected a rich tone for their new cherry red finish, which looks incredibly striking against the brushed stainless trim, and will be available across their entire product range ...
