Cooking Appliances in Pakistan — Shop Smart, Cook Better

Category Intro (Pakistan-specific)

What counts as “cooking appliances” for Pakistani homes

Cooking appliances cover everything that helps you prep, cook, and ventilate daily meals— cooking ranges, built-in hobs, built-in electric ovens, microwave ovens, air fryers, small prep appliances like blenders and processors, and range/kitchen hoods. In Pakistan, households often juggle gas and electricity availability, so the “right” mix balances fuel type, capacity, and reliability. A family kitchen in Karachi may lean on a 60 cm cooking range and a hood to handle tarka and frying, while a home baker in Islamabad might prefer a built-in electric oven with fan-assisted modes. If you’re tight on space—think studio apartments or hostels—compact microwaves and small prep tools do the heavy lifting for heating, blending, and quick snacks. The goal is not just buying an appliance—it’s building a functional lineup that fits your kitchen layout, cooking habits, and budget.

Local buying context & trust signals

You’re shopping with Yasir Electronics—a Karachi-based retailer you can call at 0321-2222391 or visit at Shop 61, Hashoo Centre, Abdullah Haroon Road, Saddar, Karachi. We keep guidance practical: explain specs in plain language, match capacities to real meal sizes, and help you shortlist models by kitchen cut-out, power availability, and cooking style. Because import cycles and the exchange rate affect pricing and stock, you’ll see price movement and promotional changes over time; that’s normal for our market. We’ll always steer you toward verifying live price and availability before you finalize. Prefer in-person? Use the showroom to see build quality, check knob feel, and confirm cut-out measurements with our team.

How to check live price & availability

Prices can shift due to currency, freight, and brand promos, so treat any guide as orientation—not a fixed quote. To confirm the final price, open the relevant product page and then call/WhatsApp 0321-2222391 to verify current stock, delivery options, and any installation charges (especially for built-ins and hoods). If you’re planning cabinetry, share exact cut-out sizes for hobs and ovens before purchase so we can flag compatibility issues early. For large items like cooking ranges and hoods, ask about doorway and staircase clearances and whether your address supports standard or special handling. Clarity upfront avoids delays, rework, and extra cost.

Shop by Type (Quick Shortlist Cues)

Cooking Ranges (50–90 cm)

All-in-one stove-and-oven units that suit most Pakistani kitchens. Focus on width (50/60/76/90 cm), burner mix (include a strong wok burner for karahi), oven fuel (gas for simplicity, electric for even baking), FFD safety, and sturdy pan supports. If you cook for 4–6 people, a 60 cm with a reliable ignition and a medium-to-large oven generally fits the bill.

Built-in Hobs (2–5 burners)

Ideal for modular kitchens seeking a clean, counter-level look. Check cut-out size before you buy, pick tempered glass or stainless steel tops based on cleaning preference, and ensure FFD and comfortable knob placement. A 75 cm hob with a central wok burner balances everyday curries and occasional deep frying.

Built-in Electric Ovens (60–78 L)

Choose one if you care about consistent baking and roasting. Look for true convection, reliable thermostat control, and practical cleaning features (enamel or catalytic). Standard 60 cm cabinetry cut-outs are common, but verify depth and ventilation space to prevent overheating.

Microwave Ovens (Solo/Grill/Convection)

Your quick-heat and reheat workhorse. Solo suits basic heating, Grill browns kebabs and sandwiches, and Convection adds baking. Capacities span 20–42 L; hostels and offices often do well with a 20–25 L dial-control solo for simplicity and durability.

Air Fryers (Basket & Oven-style)

Great for quick snacks with less oil. Basket-style is compact and fast for fries, nuggets, and samosas; oven-style offers more space and racks for multiple items. Check litre capacity, window/lighting, and preset usefulness for the foods you actually cook.

Small Prep Appliances (Blenders/Juicers/Food Processors/Hand Blenders)

These speed up everyday tasks. Weight motor wattage against noise and budget, verify jar material (glass vs robust plastic), and ensure safety interlocks. For hot desi gravies, a metal-shaft hand blender is safer in the pot than plastic.

Range/Kitchen Hoods (60/75/90 cm)

Vital for smoke and odour control in Pakistani frying. Match hood width to your hob/range, check airflow (m³/h) appropriate to your kitchen size and cooking intensity, and decide ducted vs recirculating based on your building constraints. Proper ducting and filter maintenance make the biggest difference.

Price & Size Guide (Pakistan, 2025)

Why prices fluctuate (and how that affects your shortlist)

In Pakistan, appliance prices move with the PKR exchange rate, import freight, brand promotions, and availability cycles. A microwave that’s economical today might inch up after a shipment change; a cooking range could drop during a seasonal promo. Instead of anchoring on a single number, shortlist two to three candidates per category and confirm their live prices on the day you plan to purchase. If you’re buying multiple items—say a hob, oven, and hood—ask for a bundle discussion; sometimes logistics efficiencies reduce overall cost. For built-ins, treat installation and ducting as separate line items so you budget realistically.

Quick capacity and size matching (family, space, and fuel)

Start with household size and cooking style. A family of 4–6 that fries frequently benefits from a 60 cm or larger range and a hood with solid airflow; a baker who values even heat should consider a built-in electric oven in the 65–70 L range. Tight kitchens may prefer two-burner hobs or a compact 50–60 cm range paired with a recirculating hood if ducting is impossible. For hostels or shared flats, a 20–25 L solo microwave plus a mid-capacity air fryer covers late-night reheats and snacks without heavy gas use. Always measure cabinet cut-outs and counter depth before ordering built-ins, and confirm MCB rating for electric ovens to avoid tripping issues.

How to verify final price, installation scope, and delivery

Before checkout, gather three confirmations: (1) Live price and stock, (2) Delivery cost and timeline to your address, and (3) Installation/ducting scope if applicable. Call 0321-2222391 for a quick verification and to share any cut-out diagrams from your carpenter. For Karachi customers, showroom pickup at Hashoo Centre, Saddar is available—useful if you want to inspect finish and knobs first. For upcountry orders, discuss COD eligibility, courier handling for small appliances, and special handling for bulky hoods/ranges. This checklist avoids the usual surprises on delivery day.

How to Choose

Cooking Ranges (How to pick the right all-in-one)

If you want the simplest path to daily cooking—burners on top and an oven below—a cooking range is the most forgiving choice. Start with width (50/60/76/90 cm) and the burner mix you’ll actually use. A powerful wok burner helps with karahi and high-heat searing; a small simmer burner prevents dal and sauces from scorching. Next, decide oven type: gas ovens feel “moister” and are straightforward for roasting, while electric ovens tend to give steadier, even heat for baking. Prioritize FFD (flame failure device), sturdy pan supports, and an ignition system that doesn’t hiccup after a few months. If you deep-fry often, pair the range with a compatible hood to manage smoke and grease efficiently.

Match the range to your household and layout. In most Karachi apartments, a 60 cm stainless steel cooking range with stable trivets and a medium-to-large oven fits well between cabinets without remodeling. For larger kitchens or frequent entertaining, 76–90 cm gives you more cooktop real estate and a roomier oven cavity. Consider the fuel reality of your home: if gas pressure is inconsistent, keep a backup plan (e.g., a small electric cooking appliance like an air fryer or a hot plate) for rainy days. Always check doorway and staircase clearances before delivery—ranges are bulky, and tight turns can complicate installation.

Quick checklist

• Size & fit: 60 cm suits most 4–6 member families; bigger kitchens can go 76–90 cm.
• Burners: seek a strong wok burner + a gentle simmer burner.
• Oven choice: gas = simple roasting; electric = more even baking.
• Safety & build: FFD, solid trivets, reliable ignition, easy-clean enamel interior.

Built-in Hobs (Cut-out first, then features)

With built-in hobs, your number one job is to verify the cut-out (length × width × corner radius) before you buy. Cabinets vary, so send your carpenter’s measurements and photos to prevent edge chips or gaps. Choose tempered glass for a sleek, easy-wipe surface or stainless steel for a more rugged, scratch-forgiving worktop—both are common in Pakistan’s busy kitchens. Layout matters: a 75 cm hob with a central wok burner keeps large pots stable; side-biased layouts create elbow room when two pans sit front-to-back. Look for FFD, sensible knob placement (front vs side), and caps that don’t rattle under high heat.

Plan ventilation as a pair: hob width should generally match the hood (60/75/90 cm). If you live in a building where ducting is tricky, confirm whether recirculation (with charcoal filters) is acceptable and how often filters need replacing under frequent frying. For Lahore homes with modular cabinetry, a four- or five-burner hob balances family cooking with tea-time snacks. If your slab depth is tight, confirm clearance for the gas pipe and ignition wiring so drawers still open smoothly.

Quick checklist

• Measure twice: share exact cut-out before purchase.
• Surface: tempered glass (sleek) vs stainless (durable).
• Layout: 75 cm + central wok burner suits larger pots.
• Safety: FFD, heat-resistant knobs, stable pan supports.

Built-in Electric Ovens (Consistent, cabinet-friendly baking)

A built-in electric oven is about consistency. For home bakers in Islamabad or Karachi running weekend batches of brownies and pizza, look for true convection (a rear fan with a dedicated heating element), trustworthy thermostat control, and interiors that clean easily (quality enamel or catalytic liners). Standard 60-cm cabinet cut-outs are common, but confirm depth and ventilation space so heat doesn’t build up behind the unit. If your MCB rating is borderline, ask an electrician to verify the line before installation; under-rated circuits lead to nuisance trips and uneven heating.

Think in use-cases. If you regularly roast whole chickens and bake two trays at once, target a 65–70 L cavity with multiple shelf positions and clear door glass. If your counter workflow is tight, prefer physical knobs + display over fully touch-based controls for quick adjustments mid-recipe. For pastry and bread, even heat and dependable preheat are more valuable than flashy presets. And remember the basics: oven-safe cookware, correct rack placement, and leaving a bit of space around trays for airflow will improve results more than any single “smart” feature.

Quick checklist

• Core: true convection, steady thermostat, practical cleaning surface.
• Fit: confirm cabinet depth + ventilation gaps + MCB adequacy.
• Capacity: ~65–70 L serves most home baking needs.
• Controls: tactile knobs/displays for quick changes during cooking.

Microwave Ovens (Solo, Grill, Convection—what actually matters)

Start with use-case: if you mostly reheat, a solo microwave (20–28 L) is simple, durable, and budget-friendly; if you like toasted tops on sandwiches or kebabs, add grill; if you want to bake small batches, convection adds a heating element and fan. Look for easy-clean interiors, clear dials or responsive buttons, and a reliable door seal so heat stays consistent. Families that defrost meat regularly should prefer models with weight/time defrost and a clear display. In shared spaces (hostels/offices), dial-control solos are robust and easier for everyone to use. For placement, leave breathing space on sides and back, and keep it away from stovetop steam—moisture shortens lifespan.

Air Fryers (Fast, tidy, and better for late-night snacks)

Air fryers shine for quick, crispy snacks with less oil—think samosas, fries, nuggets, cutlets. Choose basket-style for speed and compact storage; pick oven-style for larger capacity and rack cooking. Check litre capacity against your batch sizes; small baskets crowd food and reduce crisping. A viewing window, preheat, and shake reminders are genuinely useful; dozens of “one-touch” presets are not. For Karachi apartments with tight ventilation, air fryers reduce lingering smell vs deep-frying in an open pan, especially when paired with a decent hood. Clean the basket after each use; burned crumbs cause smoke and off flavours.

Small Prep Appliances (Blenders, Juicers, Food Processors, Hand Blenders)

Match motor wattage to your tasks: smoothies with frozen fruit need more torque than chutneys. Prefer thick jars with secure lids; glass is sturdy but heavy, high-grade plastic is lighter and durable. For processors, focus on bowl size, blade/disc set, and a safety interlock so the unit won’t start open. A metal-shaft hand blender is ideal for hot gravies and dal right in the pot—less mess, fewer transfers. For small Karachi kitchens, plan storage: a compact processor plus a hand blender often beats a huge, under-used tower of attachments.

Range/Kitchen Hoods (Get ventilation right for Pakistani frying)

Start by matching width to your hob or range—60/75/90 cm are standard. If you fry often or cook with high-heat tarka, target higher airflow (m³/h) and ensure you have proper ducting to the outside; recirculating (charcoal filter) is a plan B when buildings don’t allow ducts. Consider filter type (baffle/mesh) and noise levels—a quieter hood runs longer without annoying the family. Leave vertical clearance per brand guidelines and avoid sharp bends in the duct. Clean grease filters monthly if you deep-fry; replace charcoal filters as specified when using recirculation.

Delivery, Installation & After-Sales (Pakistan)

Delivery & Pickup

We support nationwide delivery for most product categories, with in-store pickup from our showroom at Shop 61, Hashoo Centre, Abdullah Haroon Road, Saddar, Karachi. Cash on Delivery (COD) eligibility depends on order size, location, and category—smaller items like select small appliances are more likely to qualify, while bulky items (ranges, large hoods) may require advance confirmation or alternate payment methods. Before dispatch, our team confirms your address details, staircase/lift access, and any special handling needs. On arrival, inspect packaging for visible damage and keep the invoice and warranty card safe.

Installation Notes (Built-ins & Hoods)

For built-in hobs and ovens, confirm cabinet cut-outs, ventilation gaps, and power/gas points before delivery. Share your carpenter’s diagram so we can check compatibility. Electric ovens should be on an appropriately rated, grounded circuit with a suitable MCB; gas hobs require proper hose routing and a shut-off valve within reach. For hoods, plan the duct route early—shorter, straighter runs with smooth bends work best. Where buildings forbid external ducts, recirculation with charcoal filters is a workable plan B, but filters must be replaced periodically for best results. Brand-authorized installation helps preserve warranty; keep stamps and service slips as proof.

After-Sales Support

If you need assistance after purchase, call/WhatsApp 0321-2222391. Keep your invoice and warranty card handy to speed up support. Many issues (misaligned shelves, tripped MCBs, clogged filters) are quick fixes—we’ll guide basic checks remotely and arrange brand service when needed. Normal wear parts (e.g., hood filters) and consumables are typically not covered by warranty, but we’ll help you source replacements.

Care, Cleaning & Safety

Cooking ranges & hobs: Wipe spills daily; avoid soaking burner caps; check for even flame. If you smell gas, shut the valve and perform a soap-water leak test—never use an open flame to check. Ensure FFD is unobstructed.

Built-in electric ovens: Use enamel-safe cleaners; run a short high-heat burn-off after deep cleaning. Leave ventilation space clear; don’t block cooling vents with foil or trays.

Microwave ovens: Keep the door seal clean; never run empty; allow steam to escape before wiping. Use microwave-safe containers only and keep it away from stovetop steam.

Air fryers: Empty crumbs and wash the basket after every use; avoid aerosol sprays that damage coatings. Preheat if your model benefits; don’t crowd food to keep crisping even.

Small appliances: Never immerse motor bases; check cords and plugs; avoid weak extension cords. For hand blenders, use a metal shaft for hot pots to prevent warping.

Range/kitchen hoods: Clean grease filters monthly under heavy frying; schedule charcoal filter changes when using recirculation. Keep duct runs short and avoid sharp 90° bends.
