The esse 500el fits 2 purposes : you can have it as a stand alone electric range cooker : or add it to a esse wood stove as an companion to give you the ultimate wood+electric combination

built like all esse’s with stunning enameled cast iron doors – cast iron ovens and quality all the way

and like all other esse electric range cookers, the 500el is mega efficient – it just plugs into any 15amp power plug
