    • Grilling - Electric cookers are generally better at grilling than gas cookers.

    Cons

    Remember to always turn off your mains power supply before getting started. If you’d like to learn how to repair an electric cooker, use the below tips:

    1. Your oven thermostat isn't working - If your oven is not reaching the right temperature, you may need to replace the thermostat.

    3. Your oven fan isn't working - If your food isn't cooking evenly, you may need to buy a replacement oven fan.
