1. A Beautiful Centrepiece
Today’s kitchen is the hub of the home – a place for family and friends to gather, connect, cook, dine and entertain. Whether your kitchen is sleek and contemporary or leans more towards a traditional style, a superbly crafted range cooker is guaranteed to make a striking focal point.
Take a tip from expert kitchen designers and build the look of your kitchen around your range. “To make your range cooker visually blend into the space, co-ordinate the colour of your cooker with the colour and finish of your cabinetry. Or, make it a standout feature by choosing cabinetry in a contrasting colour,” says Robin Werth, head of marketing at Andi-Co Australia, the exclusive Australian distributor of Falcon.

“When it comes to the colour and finish of your range cooker, stainless steel, white, slate and black are perennially popular, and help you create a modern, monochromatic look. A coloured range cooker, on the other hand, can make for a real highlight in your kitchen. You can then introduce accents of the same colour in tea towels, cooking utensils and art to create a cohesive look.
“A matching canopy rangehood will further accentuate your range cooker as the focal point of the space. Or, if you prefer a more seamless aesthetic, opt for an integrated rangehood that is concealed within your cabinetry,” says Werth.

2. Cook the Way You Like
Quality range cookers have long been the choice of professional chefs, and it’s easy to see why; they are powerful, durable, and give you more cooking flexibility than smaller, built-in styles. “Multi-compartment cooking means you can create a wide range of dishes simultaneously,” says Werth. Plus, the generous cavity sizes make it easy to cook for a crowd.
Whatever your cooking preferences, you’re sure to find a model to suit among today’s offerings. Legendary range cooker brand Falcon offers a choice of three different fuel types; dual fuel (gas burners and one or two electric ovens), induction (induction burners and two electric ovens), and gas, so you can tailor your oven to your cooking style.

Enjoy preparing healthy home-cooked meals for your family? The Falcon Nexus Steam range cooker is the first of its kind in Australia to feature a dedicated steam cavity alongside a multi-function electric oven, so you can prepare flavourful dishes packed with nutrients. Other useful functions include an eco cooking mode and a rapid response function that heats the oven 30% faster than a fan oven – ideal if you’re looking to save time in the kitchen or you’re watching your energy consumption.
Meanwhile, the Falcon Nexus and Nexus Steam models boast a bread-proving drawer so you can bake like a pro, and the sleek and stylish Nexus SE cooker has a dedicated slow cooking cavity for those melt-in-your-mouth stews and curries. Have something of a sweet tooth? The Nexus Steam and Professional+ FX 100cm models both have a delicate function that allows you to blind bake or prepare the perfect crème brulée.

5. Sizes and Styles to Suit Different Kitchens
While range cookers are traditionally known for their generous proportions and vintage styling, you’ll also find contemporary styles on the market today, in smaller sizes to suit compact kitchens.
Falcon offers both traditional and contemporary range cookers, in a variety of styles and sizes. If your style leans towards the minimalist, consider the Falcon Nexus SE induction cooker – a sleek, symmetrical design that sits beautifully in modern kitchens. Or try the streamlined and space-savvy Falcon Professional+ FX and FXP 90cm cookers, which boast a clever, energy-saving feature that allows you to reduce the size of your oven cavity from a full 114 litres to 49 litres when you’re cooking smaller dishes.
Prefer a timeless country style? Take a look at the Falcon Elise; a traditional design inspired by generations of cooking excellence, which comes in both a 110cm size and a smaller 90cm version for smaller kitchens. Or consider the heritage-drawn Falcon Classic or Classic Deluxe, which features arched viewing panes and striking handles.
With a beautiful range cooker at its heart, your kitchen will become a place where memories are made.
