We’ve covered the history of your favourite appliance, the range cooker; but what’s in store for that hefty culinary heat source? We’re about to find out, as we look into our kitchen crystal ball.

One of the main criticisms of range cookers has been their energy consumption (let’s be honest, whether yours is a gas range cooker or an electric one, it’s more than a little bit thirsty). As ever in life, problems are merely opportunities for solutions, and herein lays the latest potential development. Aga have created a range cooker that has the potential for being run entirely on bio fuel, eliminating carbon emissions and helping the environment. Some stattos have calculated that the average Aga uses as much gas in a week as a standard cooker does in 9 months, which is, in all fairness, pretty ridiculous; these latest developments though go some way to allaying those fears.

We’ve covered developments in fuel, but what about developments in actual technology? Well, details are thin on the ground, probably because the research is; scientists seem to have bigger and better things to focus on than how to cook a roast dinner! That’s their loss. One speck on the horizon though is laser cooking. You read that right; laser cooking. It sounds like something straight out of Star Trek, but the technology is out there; it’s just a case of commercialising it for the consumer market. How would laser range cookers work? Obviously we can only speculate, but the answer is probably: very well indeed! Prototypes and concept models currently work by having 3 lasers positioned around the food, which is placed on a central cooking tray. The lasers are focused by the chef, and then cook the food quickly and without mess. There’s no chance of zapping your fingers off either; the lasers are completely safe!

So there you have it – the future of range cookers. We’re sure that you’ll agree, things could hardly be more exciting.
