The Fisher & Paykel OR90SDG4X1 is a 90 cm Series 7 Contemporary range cooker in stainless steel: five gas burners above one generous electric oven. It's for cooks who like the control of gas for stir-frying and simmering, and a single broad cavity that takes big roasting dishes or several trays side by side.

Cooking

At the front sits a dual wok burner that turns down to 0.4 kW on its inner ring and reaches 4.5 kW with both rings lit. Two triple-ring wok burners give 4.0 kW each, and two semi-rapid burners of 1.75 kW handle everyday pans. Flame failure cuts the gas if a flame goes out, the range top is sealed, and it can run on natural gas or LPG.

The oven offers 120 l of usable space, 140 l in total, over six shelf positions. AeroTech circulates heat with twin cavity fans for even results on every shelf. Among its 9 functions are Fan Forced, Fan Grill, Classic Bake, Pastry Bake with pizza mode, an energy-saving slow cook, and Roast, which starts with a sear of about 20 minutes then settles at your chosen temperature.

Controls and everyday use

Turned stainless steel dials with illuminated halos set the burners and oven, backed by electronic temperature control and automatic rapid pre-heat. The clock gives a timer of up to 23 hours 59 minutes, Auto Cook, a controls lock and Sabbath mode.
