A cooking range transforms everyday cooking, helping you boil, simmer, bake, and grill using a single appliance.

Glenβs cooking ranges are built to support modern Indian kitchens with durability, safety, and thoughtful design.
What is a Cooking Range?
A cooking range is a three-in-one appliance combining a gas cooktop, a gas oven, and a grill in a single unit. Instead of placing multiple appliances in different corners, a cooking range brings everything together neatly, a setup many modular kitchens prefer after choosing the right kitchen chimney size.
1. Gas Cooktop (Top Section)
All Glen cooking ranges include four burners designed for Indian cooking styles such as boiling, frying, and tadka. You may find forged brass burners, triple ring burners, or aluminium alloy burners depending on the model.
2. Gas Oven (Middle Section)
Each cooking range includes a 62.6-litre gas oven, suitable for baking cakes, pizzas, breads, biscuits, and roasting. A large viewing window and oven light help monitor cooking progress without opening the door.
3. Grill Chamber (Lower Section)
A separate 34.45-litre grill chamber lets you grill while another dish bakes above. This design is convenient for Indian kitchens where multitasking is common.
Things to Consider Before Buying a Cooking Range
1. Burner Type & Material
Forged brass burners suit heavy-duty cooking, while triple-ring and alloy burners help with faster heat distribution. If youβre pairing your cooking range with a chimney, reviewing suction power becomes essential, as explained in Glenβs guide on how much chimney suction power you need.
2. Oven & Grill Capacity
Every Glen cooking range includes:
- 62.6 L oven
- 34.45 L grill chamber
3. Ignition Type
Some models offer multi-spark auto ignition, while others include auto ignition for burners only.
4. Durability & Build
Look for strong pan supports, toughened glass tops, stainless steel construction, and spill trays for easier cleaning.
5. Safety & Ease of Use
Large viewing windows, firm-grip knobs, and spacious chambers improve everyday cooking comfort.

Cooking Range Dimensions Explained
Glen cooking ranges follow a uniform footprint of:
52 Γ 60 Γ 90 cm
This makes installation simple when paired with a properly sized chimney. For help choosing, Glen explains the difference in 60 cm vs 90 cm chimneys.
Cooking Range With Oven and Grill: Why It Matters
A dual-chamber system allows you to bake and grill at the same time.
For example:
- Bake a pizza in the oven
- Grill vegetables or paneer in the lower chamber
Many users prefer cooking ranges for this multitasking capability instead of buying a separate OTG.
Expert Tips for Choosing the Right Size
- A 60 cm or 90 cm chimney aligns well with the 52 Γ 60 Γ 90 cm cooking range.
- Leave space for gas line access behind the appliance.
- Choose forged brass burners for heavy cooking; choose triple ring for fast flame-based dishes.
To understand filter choices, you can refer to Glenβs comparison of baffle filter vs filterless chimneys.
