What Are The Esse PRO Cookers?

Esse's new launch day featured the brilliant PRO series.

The Esse Pro models build on the standard models but offer 40% more oven capacity.

The size of the two lower ovens have been increased to give you a huge 127L capacity across all three ovens (and more aesthetically pleasing symmetry!).

The standard models (600, 1000 or 1600) are available as a PRO model, boasting the larger oven capacity. The ovens have the same patented wrap around oven elements for perfect cooking, and consumption/heat up times.

As with the standard models, the controllable ovens have their own adjustable vents to allow independent control of the moisture inside the ovens. Need more moisture for baking lovely moist cakes? Just close over the oven vent. Need to crisp up some tatties for the Sunday roast? Just slide the vent open to allow steam and moisture to escape.

You'll see a comparison between the standard model (a 1000T chosen for the example!) and the new PRO option below:

You'll see the black 'kick strip' at the bottom of the cooker has changed too. The coloured kick strip is optional on the Pro Series - choose to integrate the colour down to the floor, or keep the plinth black - similar to the traditional range cookers.

With the Pro series, you get the same Esse experience:

⭐️ 2 Year parts & labour warranty.

🔥 Ambient heat when you need it.

⚡️ Fully electric with induction hobs.

⏳ Fast heat up times, as quick as 10 minutes.

💤 Slumber setting for lower running costs.

Plinths for Aga Cookers

by Steven Johnson • 22 February 2026

Our black steel plinths are available to add onto your cooker order if required. They add additional height to the overall Aga dimensions and are available in multiple heights to suit your kitchen design. Traditionally, these British-made Aga Cookers were 851mm from the base to the top of the black enamelled surface. When do you need a plinth? If your worktop or ideal working height is taller than 851mm and you want your Aga Cooker to match them, you'll need a plinth underneath. Brand new Aga Cookers (as well as our ESSE and Everhot cookers) have a fixed height plinth built into the cooker body. If you need these raised higher, you'll need to lay marine-grade plywood or concrete at the required height before installation. What sizes of plinths are available? Our plinths are available in 50mm to 80mm sizes. They also allow for levelling of the base before the assembly of the cooker begins. How do I choose my plinth size? When choosing your required height, you should consider your finished floor height vs your worktop height. It's standard for Aga Cookers to finish slightly proud of the worktop, since the top plate is curved rather than a right-angle ( photo shown below ). If you were to finish level with the worktop, you will have a bigger 'valley' in-between, where crumbs and debris love to collect! Usually, the plinth is seated onto the subfloor, with finished flooring/tiles ran up to and around the plinth once the cooker is built. Alternatively, you can either seat the plinth directly onto the finished floor/tiles, as long as they can bare the weight of the cooker, or we can raise the plinth using the adjustment legs, to allow the finished floor to tuck underneath slightly ( photo shown below). If choosing this option, you should bare in mind the supporting feet in each corner of the plinth start at around 20mm from the front of the plinth. This means your flooring could run underneath for a depth of around 20mm if preferred. After the cooker is built, there are NO adjustments in height, without a strip down and rebuild.
