The Smeg TR4110AZ is a 110cm Victoria range cooker in pastel blue, with a seven-burner gas hob over three electric ovens. Smeg traces the Victoria look back to its first cooker, the 'Elisabeth' of 1948. Two equal 61 litre ovens suit anyone who often cooks two large dishes at different temperatures.

Cooking

The hob is led by a 4.2 kW dual ultra-rapid burner on the left, which takes pans of 18-28 cm. Around it sit two 2.9 kW rapids, two 1.8 kW semi-rapids and two 1 kW auxiliaries, all on cast iron pan stands with automatic ignition. A thermocouple cuts the gas if a flame goes out. Each multifunction oven holds 61 litres over four shelf positions and offers static, fan assisted, Circulaire, ECO and fan assisted base cooking from 50 to 260 °C, plus defrost. Both are energy class A. The 36 litre grill oven has a 2700 W tilting grill and two shelf positions, and grills with its door shut.

Controls and everyday use

Victoria knobs set the burners and ovens. The electronic programmer times one of the multifunction ovens for up to 10 hours and has a minute minder of up to 23 hours 59 minutes. Vapor Clean needs about 120 ml of water on the oven floor and a detergent spray; after an 18-minute cycle the loosened dirt wipes off the easy clean enamel.

• Side-opening doors on both 61 litre ovens
• Lift-out inner door glass
• Telescopic rails, two chrome shelves, a grill mesh and a 40 mm deep tray for each main oven
• Cast iron wok support supplied
• Pull-out storage drawer at the base

The cooker measures 900 x 1100 x 600 mm (H x W x D) and weighs 128.4 kg.
