Mika Cooker Reviews
Mika All Gas Standing Cookers
We start off by looking at all the Mika standing cookers that use only gas for both the burners at the cooktop and the oven.
It is worth noting that even when a cooker is designed to run only on gas, some functions will require that the cooker be connected to electricity for them to work as intended. Such function includes auto ignition and oven light. The power consumption by these functions is however very minimal and you should not expect a spike in your Kenya Power electricity bill because of using them.

Things to consider before buying a Mika Standing Cooker
Before settling on one cooker from the wide variety we have in this article, here are a few things that are worth considering;
Cooker Size
The width (wideness) and depth of a standing cooker determine the size of a cooker. Mika standing cookers are available in three different sizes which are 50 cm in width by 55 cm in depth, 60 cm in width by 60 cm in depth and 90 cm in width by 60 cm in depth.
Make sure that you are aware of the amount of space available in your kitchen before picking a cooker.
Type of Fuel.
The Mika cookers that are available in Kenya come in two fuel options; there are those that run on gas only and those that run on both gas and electricity.
Each configuration has its own advantages and disadvantages. I personally prefer cooker that can use both electricity and gas where gas is the primary fuel and electricity acting as a backup just in case gas runs out in the middle of cooking.
Type of Oven
Ovens are an essential component of Mika standing cookers and they are available in two options; those that are powered by electricity and those that run on gas.
Although electric ovens are expensive to use due to the cost of electricity, they offer better temperature control than ovens running on gas.
Conclusion
Mika has a wide variety of quality standing cookers to choose from. Depending on your budget and intended use, you are guaranteed to find a high quality cooker that will serve you right for years.
